MIM50-0 Automatic Outdoor Ice Maker INSTRUCTION MANUAL English PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE MIM50-0MAN 0511 REV A
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. MAXX ICE strongly recommends that you have a professional install your new machine. The warranty may be affected or voided by an incorrect installation .To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the ice maker, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. • All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. • Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation. • Check for leaks after connection. • Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded.

INSTALLATION Remove packaging materials IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your ice maker. Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using. • To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
INSTALLATION soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve. • The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C) for proper operation. WARNING: Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 45°F (7°C) to 110° F (43°C). Normal operating water temperature should be between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C).
INSTALLATION ** 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 off by a switch or pull chain. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes. Recommended grounding method For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug.
INSTALLATION Leveling the Ice Maker It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly; otherwise water will not flow as it should through the evaporator (ice mold). Ice production will be less than normal, and operation will be noisy. The ice maker can be raised or lowered by four leveling legs on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level. You may need to make several adjustments to level the machine. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check it. 1.
To replace door on hinges: 1. Using a flat screwdriver, remove the plug buttons from the screw holes opposite the door hinges, top and bottom. Set aside. 2. Remove the bottom hinge and place it on the opposite side at the bottom of the door. 3. Position the door on the bottom hinge. 4. Align the door on the bottom hinge and replace the top hinge and top hinge mat. 5. Replace top hinge cover. 6. Push the plug buttons into the original screw holes.
Drain IMPORTANT: This ice maker is not a freezer, it must connect to a drain line. Your machine comes equipped with a gravity drain. Depending on your plumbing setup, a condensation pump may be required. Poor drainage will cause a high rate of melting in the ice storage bin and may cause flooding or your machine to shut off.
Built-in Installation: If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit. The following additional items must be observed. 1. Place ice maker in front of installation location. Remove the legs and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements. 2. The water supply line must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker. 3. Connect the drain hose. 4. Turn on main water supply and tap.
Icemaking stage Iceharvesting stage Cold preservation stage 2. After three minutes, the machine will automatically go into the ice-making stage, and the sound of flowing water will be heard. 3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice will automatically be harvested to the ice storage bin. 4. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes does not fall completely and it holds the ice-full probe open.
How the Machine Uses the Water The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral impurities will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds. The water containing impurities falls back into the water trough. During the ice-making process, fresh water enters the water trough continuously as the water from the trough freezes continuously on the evaporator.
CLEANING & MAINTANANCE: CAUTION: If the ice maker is left unused for a long time, before the next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution. Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after cleaning. Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions.
1. Disconnect the power to the unit. 2. Open the door and take out the removable ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95ºF to 115ºF). 3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. 4. Connect a hose to the drain outlet at the rear of the unit to drain water completely. 5. Put the ice storage bin inside the unit. 6. Reconnect power to the unit. The ice scoop should be washed regularly.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as dishwashing liquid. After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water. 5. Replace the distribution tube 6. Reconnect the water supply. Ice-Making System Cleaning Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup.
6. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95º to 115ºF). Wipe the entire bin inside and outside, covering the entire surface of the walls. 7. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and edges making sure to cover all surfaces with the solution. 8. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry. 9.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, read through the OPERATION section of this manual first. If the problem persists, check the Troubleshooting Guide below and on the following page. The problem could be something very simple that can be solved without a service call. Problem Possible Cause The machine does not operate. The icemaker is unplugged. The fuse is blown. The Power switch is set at OFF. The ice storage bin is full of ice.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Cubes are partially formed or are white at the bottom. Check if the water supply pressure is below 15 psig. Not enough water in the water Check water supply; filter trough.. may be restricted. Check for a water leak at the water trough.. Noise during operation The legs are not leveled and locked. Certain sounds are normal. The ice maker stops suddenly while making ice. The body of the ice maker is electrified. Scaling occurs frequently inside the machine.
