Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 50ºF (10ºC) and 100ºF (38ºC). Normal operating water temperature should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC). Operation of the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity. In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the • proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection. A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz, 15 A), properly grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned of

Water Supply The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be a minimum of 15 psig with a static pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will make installation easier.) IMPORTANT: 1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Professional installation is recommended. 2. Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation. 3. Check f

IMPORTANT: Drain the melt water regularly or you will risk a high rate of melting in the ice • storage bin if the water level reaches the ice. The unit drains condensation water to the drainage tray on top of the compressor. • (See Figure B at bottom of page 12.) This water is slowly evaporated by the heat generated by the compressor. If the drainage tray on top of the compressor becomes full of water, this is detected by the Water Full Probe and the machine shuts off automatically. At the s

2. After three minutes, the machine will automatically go to the ice making stage, and the sound of flowing water will be heard. 3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically be harvested to the ice storage bin. 4. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the ice-full probe open. The machine stops making ice and automatically progresses to the cold preservation stage. During this stage, the compressor works re

Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide, as a unit, off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested. How the machine uses water: The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As the water flows

Normal Sounds Your new ice maker may make sounds that are unfamiliar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can amplify the sounds. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be causing them. • Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises. The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. • Running w
