OPERATING
INITIAL START-UP OPERATION
1
. PLUG THE APPLIANCE INTO A 115/120V POLARIZED AND GROUNDED WALL
ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
2. PLACE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IN THE “I” POSITION.
3. MAKE SURE THE WATER SUPPLY IS ON. AS SOON AS THE INNER MECHANISM
REACHES THE PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE ICEMAKER MECHANISM WILL FILL
THE MOLD WITH WATER.
4. THE FIRST CUBES MAY BE SMALL BECAUSE OF AIR IN THE WATER LINE.
LATER CUBES WILL BE OF STANDARD CRESCENT TYPE SIZE.
5. APPROXIMATE TIME FOR THE FIRST CYCLE IS BETWEEN 30-40 MINUTES.
6. EACH CYCLE APPROXIMATELY WILL TAKE 5 OZS OF WATER SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULL TRAY,
AFTER 11 HOURS.
IMPORTANT: THROW AWAY ALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF OPERATION.
• WHEN THE ICE BUCKET IS FULL, THE ICE MAKING MECHANISM WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF.
WHEN ICE CUBES ARE MELTED, THE ICE MAKING MECHANISM WILL START AGAIN.
• ICE DELIVERY MAY BE INTERRUPTED BY RAISING THE METAL ARM INTO AN UPRIGHT POSITION
• IF THE ICEMAKER IS NOT USED REGULARLY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ICE BUCKET BE
EMPTIED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE FRESH ICE.
• SOMETIMES THE CUBES MAY APPEAR CLOUDY. THIS IS DUE TO THE RAPID FREEZING OF THE ICE
CUBE. THIS IS TRAPPED AIR IN THE WATER AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE TASTE AND QUALITY OF THE
ICE.
• THE FRONT GRILLE SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF DUST AND LINT TO ALLOW FREE AIRFLOW.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance!
IMPORTANT: THIS UNIT SHOULD BE DEFROSTED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 4-6 WEEKS OR
WHEN FROST ON THE ICE MAKER WALLS IS EXCESSIVE OR ¼” THICK. TO DEFROST, TURN THE
UNIT OFF, REMOVE CUBES AND KEEP DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO INCHES.
