(3) Fabrication of Overlay Panel Fabricate the overlay panel as outlined in the applicable specification on the previous pages and the instructions below. 1) Rout a channel at the bottom of the overlay panel to the proper dimensions. See "(C) Routed Area" in the specification diagram and Fig. 1. 2) Drill six 1/4" diameter (hardwood may require slightly larger diameter) holes 3/8" (10 mm) deep in the locations designated.
6) If you would like to reverse the door hinges, do the following: a) Remove "hinge (A)-left" from the accessory bag. b) Remove the 2 screws securing the top panel, then lift it off. See Fig. 4. c) Remove hinge (A)-right and the bracket from the right side of the unit. Set aside hinge (A)‑right; it is not needed. Remove the top brace from the left side. Fasten hinge (A)-left and the bracket to the left side and the top brace to the right side. See Fig. 5.
7) Remove the bushings from hinge (C1) and hinge (C2) (the hinges attached to the door). See Fig. 9. 8) Remove the gasket from the door. See Fig. 10. Bushing Gasket Hinge Fig. 10 Fig. 9 9) Temporarily fasten the overlay panel to the door using 2 of the M4×25 pan head screws provided. See Fig. 11. CAUTION Ensure that the back surface of overlay panel is flat before attaching. 10) Mark the centerpoint of the hinge (C1) and hinge (C2) holes that extend over the overlay panel. See Fig. 12.
(4) Attachment of Overlay Panel to Door 1) Fasten the sheet metal bracket to the overlay panel using the two M4×8 truss head screws provided. Snug the screws, but do not tighten. See Fig. 13. 2) Temporarily fasten the overlay panel to the door using 2 of the M4×25 pan head screws provided. See Fig. 14. Overlay Panel Screws Snug the screws, but do not tighten. Sheet Metal Bracket Fig. 13 Fig. 14 3) Adjust the sheet metal bracket so that it is flush with the bottom of the door. See Fig. 15.
7) Tighten the four M4×25 pan head screws installed in step 5. See Fig. 19. 8) Replace the door gasket in its proper orientation. Reinsert the bushings into hinge (C1) and hinge (C2) (the hinges attached to the door). See Fig. 20. Bushing Tighten the screws. Gasket Bushing Fig. 19 Fig. 20 9) Attach the door to hinge (A), then continue to maintain a hold on the door. Screw the hinge stop pin into hinge (B) until it is tight. See Fig. 21.
D. Setup 1) Position the icemaker in the selected permanent location. 2) Level the icemaker from side-to-side and front-to-rear by adjusting the feet. E. Electrical Connection WARNING 1. Electrical connection must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or severe damage to equipment. 2. This unit requires an independent power supply.
F. Water Supply and Drain Connections WARNING 1. Water supply and drain connections must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local regulations. 2. Normal operating water temperature should be within 45°F to 95°F (7°C to 35°C). Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature range may affect icemaker performance. 3. To prevent damage to equipment, do not operate the icemaker when the water supply is off, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG.
G. Final Checklist WARNING CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin.
H. Startup WARNING 1. All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage. 2. If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor. 3. At startup, confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks. 1) Open the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position.
III. Cleaning and Maintenance WARNING 1. CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after any cleaning or maintenance is done to the unit. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin. 2. The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the storage bin. 3. Keep the area around the icemaker clean. Dirt, dust, or insects in the unit could cause electrical damage to the equipment or harm to individuals. A.
3) Inside the storage bin, disconnect the suction tube by squeezing the tabs and pulling the tube clear. See Fig. 26. Allow the water tank to drain. 4) Reconnect the suction tube as illustrated.

3. Sanitizing Solution IMPORTANT For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately after dilution. Dilute 0.5 fl. oz. (14.8 ml or 1 tbs) of a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 1 gallon (3.8 l) of warm water. This is a minimum amount. Make more solution if necessary. Using a chlorine test strip or other method, confirm that you have a concentration of about 200 ppm. 4.
7) Disconnect the discharge tube from the spray assembly, then slide out the spray assembly. See Fig. 32. 8) Remove the two caps. See Fig. 33. Discharge Tube Caps Spray Assembly Fig. 32 Fig. 33 9) Soak all of the removed parts and the scoop in the sanitizing solution for 10 minutes. If the spray assembly nozzles are clogged, clean them with a wire or a suitable brush. 10) Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water. 11) Refit the 2 caps in their correct positions.
15) Reconnect the suction tube. 16) Hook each separator onto the rail, then pull it hard towards you until it locks into place. See Fig. 38. 17) Replace the slope in its correct position. See Fig. 39.
