Drain Installation INSTALLING THE DRAIN ! CA UTION CAUTION PLEASE READ all instructions completely before attempting to install or operate the unit. All ice makers require a connection to the water supply and improper hook-up can result in substantial property damage! All water and drain connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm.
Drain Installation 1 Make certain the unit is not plugged into an electrical outlet. 2 Carefully push the power cord grommet through the hole in the back panel. See Figure 2. 3 Remove 12 screws and back panel. 4 Check that the clamps and hose connections are tight at the following areas illustrated in Figure 3: 9 • Discharge tube (A) • Drain tube (B) • Vent tube (C) 5 Place a suitable container beneath the pump’s discharge tube. (Container must be able to hold a minimum of one gallon of water.
Drain Pump Connection CONNECTING A DRAIN PUMP If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not purchased the E15IM60E with factory installed pump, we strongly recommend the use of the Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump. The Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump is available through your Dealer, or direct from Electrolux with complete installation instructions.
Site Preparation PREPARING THE SITE IMPOR TANT IMPORT It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely. Remember that floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain. 1 Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit.
Site Preparation NO TE NOTE The door of the unit may be mounted on either side of the cabinet (see REVERSING THE DOOR). All units require zero clearance when installed flush with a cabinet or wall (see Figure 4). Electrolux stainless steel models require a minimum 2-3/4 inch handle clearance when installed against a wall or cabinet that extends beyond the front edge of the unit (see Figure 5).
Water Supply Connection 13 CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines: • Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit. • The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi. CA UTION CAUTION ! If you are using a filter system you will need to have at least 20 psi for 3 minutes every 15 minutes. • Make certain a SHUT-OFF VALVE is installed in the 1/4 inch water supply line.
Water Supply Connection Figure 8 1 Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed in the unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over the 1/4 inch water supply line. Do not use thread sealing compound or tape. Using two wrenches, tighten the compression fitting on the supply line (see Figure 8). 2 Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figure 9). Avoid kinking the water supply line.
Leveling LEVELING THE UNIT IMPOR TANT IMPORT It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely. Remember that floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain. 1 Use a level to check the levelness of the ice maker from front to back and from side to side (see Figure 11).
Door Reversal REVERSING THE DOOR (SOME MODELS) All Electrolux units may be left or right hand opening. The door opening is easily reversed by moving the hinge hard-ware to the opposite side (see Figure 13). To reverse the door: Figure 13 1 Remove top hinge screw pin (7/64" Allen wrench) from cabinet (see Figure 14). Remove door by tilting forward and lifting off bottom hinge pin.
Door Reversal HINGE SCREW PIN 3 Remove top hinge (3 screws), reinstall hinge screw pin, and remount on opposite side BOTTOM (see Figure 17). 4 Remove the two door closer inserts from the existing bottom hinge and install as shown on the new bottom hinge (see Figure 18). 5 Remove existing bottom hinge (3 screws) and remount on opposite side TOP. Remove hinge screw pin. 6 With bottom of door facing up, remove pivot plate (2 screws), flip over, and remount on opposite side of door (see Figure 19).
Door Adjustment ADJUSTING THE DOOR Your door is aligned at the factory before shipment. Occasional re-adjustment may be necessary, especially if an overlay panel is installed. The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4" alignment. The door should never be flush with the top of the cabinet. Even when level, the top edge of the door will be 1/8" below the top of the cabinet (see Figure 21).
Door Adjustment 4 5 If door edge opposite the hinges needs to move up, move plate toward outside of door. If door edge needs to move down, move plate toward inside of door (see Figure 23). Repeat until top edge of door is parallel with top of cabinet and tighten screws securely. After adjustment is complete, remove the door closers from the bottom hinge, clean thoroughly and apply petroleum jelly to the mating surfaces of the closers (see Figure 24).
Built-In Installation INSTALLING A BUILT-IN Your Electrolux product has been designed for either free-standing or built-in installation. When built-in, your ice maker does not require additional air space for top, sides or rear. However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed. CA UTION CAUTION ! Do not install unit behind closed doors.
Start-up INITIAL START-UP Once installation and leveling is complete, the unit is ready for initial start-up and operation. Your unit is shipped in the OFF position, however, you may turn it ON/ OFF using the cycle selector switch located in the access panel above the grille (see Figure 26). 1 Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded electrical outlet. 2 Open the water supply valve in the main water source. 3 Place the cycle selector switch in the ON position.
Operation NORMAL OPERATION The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from most water sources on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any sediment to drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content. When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated.
Operation 23 ICE DISPENSER OPERATION & CARE The ice cube thickness control is factory set for best overall performance. The factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of Figure 28 approximately 1/16" to 1/8" under BRIDGE normal conditions resulting in a TOO THIN 1/16" TO 1/8" 1/4" TO 1/2" LITTLE OR DIMPLE ICE BRIDGE DIMPLE dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2" NO DIMPLE TOO DEEP in depth (see Figure 28). A fuller cube with less of a dimple results in a thicker ice bridge.
Operation 3 Locate the ice cube thickness adjustment dial on the control board (see Figure 30). Turn the dial clockwise (+ number) or counterclockwise (- number) to thin the ice bridge. Figure 30 3 4 5 -4 -5 -2 -1 0 1 2 -3 DIAL IS FACTORY SET AT “0” ICE CUBE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT DIAL IMPOR TANT IMPORT Ice thickness adjustment dial can be rotated 1/4 to 1/2 turn on the number dial. Allow the ice maker to stabilize for 24 hours before making further adjustments.
Maintenance SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS • For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight. • Turn the unit OFF and dispose of any ice cubes if the unit will not be used for 5 days or more. Prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew. • If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty.
Maintenance • DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS. • DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile and counter cleansers). • If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish to prevent further problems.
Maintenance 27 Condenser Cleaning — Every 3 Months To maintain operational efficiency, clean the condenser every three months (depending on environmental conditions, more or less frequent cleaning may be necessary). ! WARNING Disconnect electric power to the ice maker before cleaning the condenser. To remove and replace the grille for access to the condenser fins follow this procedure (see Figure 32): 1 2 Remove the screws at each end of the grille. CONDENSER Remove the grille.
Maintenance Self Cleaning — Every 6 Months To maintain operational efficiency, clean the unit every six months (depending on water conditions more or less frequent cleaning may be necessary). If the ice maker requires more frequent cleaning, consult a qualified plumber to test the water quality and recommend appropriate treatment. ! WARNING Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles and/or face shield when handling Ice Machine Cleaner.
Maintenance 4 Remove the overflow tube by lifting it up while using a slight back and forth motion to loosen it from the drain hole (see Figure 34). The water in the reservoir will flow down the drain. 5 Replace the overflow tube after all of the water has drained from the reservoir. 6 Move the cycle selector switch to the CLN position. 7 When water begins to flow over the evaporator (approximately 3 minutes), add one package of Electrolux Ice Machine Cleaner to the water reservoir.
Storage, Vacation and Moving DRAINING FOR NON-USE If the unit is to be stored, moved or not used for extended periods, it will be necessary to drain the system of water. ! WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before servicing. Before operating replace all panels. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. 1 Disconnect power from the unit. 2 Remove ice from the storage bin. 3 Shut off water supply at the main water source.
Troubleshooting BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, read through Normal Operation first. If the problem persists, check the Troubleshooting Guide. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem could be something very simple which can be solved without a service call.
