USING YOUR ICE MACHINE 1. Allow your ice machine to run for at least 48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice bin. 2. The unit will cycle off between ice production and ice harvest cycles. 3. Your ice machine will make unusual noises that you do not normally hear form your household refrigerator/freezer.

These noises do not mean your ice machine is not functioning properly. They occur as a normal part of the ice machines operations.

4. The unit will automatically shut down when the ice bin is full. 5. Unplug the ice machine before working on the unit. 6. Keep the ice machine clean for proper ice quality, production, and unit life. 7. Room and water supply temperatures will greatly affect the output of ice in the unit. (See table below.) Ice will also

melt away, especially at the start of an empty bin, but will slow down as ice accumulates.

HOW THE ICE MACHINE WORKS Your ice machine is unique in forming ice. It uses fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less mineral content than the water it is produced from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator plate which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice slab. Mineral deposits are left in the reservoir.

When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness determined by the temperature of the evaporator plate, the electronic control switches to the harvest cycle to harvest the ice slab. During the harvest cycle, the ice slab falls from the evaporator to the ice grid cutter. Here, the ice slab is cut into 3/4 squares by the grid cutters low voltage heated wires. During the harvest cycle, the drain valve will remain open for 45 seconds to drain the reservoir of remaining deposits. After that, the water valve will open for 2 minutes providing 2 quarts of water to the reservoir for the next ice production cycle.

The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice machines storage bin is full and will restart automatically when ice needs to be replenished in the storage bin.

To begin ice production, turn the switch to the ON position.

Ice Machine Safety and Operation Tips Avoid leaning on the cabinet door. You may bend the door hinge or tip the unit. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grill and/or switch can occur.

Periodically clean the inside of the ice machine components and inside of the unit. Periodically check and/or clean the front grill and condenser coils.

PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE If the ice machine is moved, not used for an extended period of time, or will be in a area below 45F (7.2C), it is necessary to remove the water from the ice making system.

Step 1: Clean the ice machine (refer to page 11.) Step 2: Drain and remove water from ice making system.

1. Turn off the water supply to the ice machine. 2. Disconnect the water supply fitting at the inlet of the water valve. 3. Switch the rocker switch to CLEAN for approximately 1 minute. This will energize and open the water valve

and remove most of the water from the water valve and the water valves outlet water line to the reservoir. 4. Switch the rocker switch to OFF. This will energize and open the drain valve to drain the reservoir and the

ice machine drain system. 5. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. 6. Remove the back panel from the rear of the unit. 7. Disconnect the water valves outlet water line to the reservoir and drain the remaining water left in the water

line trap area. 8. Reconnect the water valve outlet water line and tighten the compression nut to a watertight seal. 9. Reinstall the units back panel.

10. Clean and dry the ice machines storage bin. 11. Prop the door open for air circulation to prevent mold and mildew. 12. Leave the water supply line disconnected or reconnect the supply line and leave it shut off. DO NOT turn the

water and allow water to enter back into the water valve. STEP 3: Drain water from optional drain pump, if applicable.

1. Remove the drain pump from the ice machine. (Refer to drain pump installation instructions). 2. Drain the water in the drain pumps reservoir by running the pump upside down and allowing water to drain

through the pumps inlet and vent tube fittings. 3. After all water is drained, reinstall the drain pump. Make certain all tubing is installed and all hose clamps are

tight. (Refer to drain pump installation instructions). Step 4: Restart the ice machine when ready for use.

1. With the rocker switch in the OFF position, plug the unit into an electrical outlet. 2. Reconnect or turn on the water supply line. 3. Reconnect drain tubing if removed. 4. Turn the rocker switch to the ON position. 5. Check the water inlet, drain lines, and fittings for any water leaks. 6. Check drain pump, (if applicable), operation by pouring approximately 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water into the ice

storage bin. The drain pump should activate and discharge water. (Refer to drain pump installation instructions). Check for water leaks at all hose connections.

Stainless Steel Parts All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. Use a liquid cleaner designed for stainless steel when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT USE bleach, steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. NOTE: Under rare conditions, such as an extremely salty environment, small amounts of rust may accumulate on stainless steel parts. These small amounts of surface rust can easily be removed by apply Soft Scrub Gel to a damp sponge and wiping with the stainless steel grain. It is important to make sure you wipe with the grain for the most efficient removal of surface rust.

Brass Parts CAUTION: All brass parts have an epoxy coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE BRASS PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When hot soapy water will not do the job, use every day non-abrasive household cleaners.

Door Gasket The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a baking soda and water solution, or a mild scouring powder.

Painted Surfaces Wash with warm soapy water. DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cleansers, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners which may damage the finish.

The ice machine will regularly (at the very least, annually) need to be cleaned of this build-up, depending on use and water hardness. You can use an acid such as one specified for ice machine cleaning or you can use citric acid to remove the build-up. To clean the ice machine:

1. Switch the selector switch to the OFF position. 2. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the reservoir to drain any

remaining water and then reinstall. 3. Remove the escutcheon panel. 4. Add cleaning solution to the reservoir. NOTE: Three quarts of water

will automatically be added to the reservoir. Therefore, cleaning solution should not be diluted. Please follow manufacturers instructions for mixing with 3 quarts of water.

5. Replace escutcheon panel and close door. 6. Switch selector switch on the grill of the machine to the clean position. 7. The cleaning cycle will end in 49 minutes. The cleaning cycle will automatically rinse the evaporator plate, drain the

cleaning solution, and rinse the components. 8. After the cleaning cycle has ended, remove the escutcheon panel again and check that build-up has been

removed. The evaporator plate should be clean, shiny, and smooth to the touch. If not and build-up is still visible, repeat the cleaning cycle above. If build-up is removed, continue below.

9. Remove the distributor tube, hose clamp, hose and its rubber ends. 10. Thoroughly clean the inside of the distributor tube and the spray holes. You can use the same cleaning solution as

before and an old tooth brush to reach the inside of the distributor tube. 11. Reinstall the rubber end, hose, and hose clamp to the distributor tube and then reinstall the distributor tube to the

evaporator with the spray holes pointed to the bottom of the evaporator plate. Reinstall the escutcheon panel.

Your ice machine is now clean and sanitized. It can be placed back into operation by switching the selector switch to the ON position. Please wait 48 hours for maximum ice production.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Ice cubes are too small Low ice consumption Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin and will (less than 1/2 thick) affect the size of the ice cube. This is normal

operation. When the ice bin needs to be replenished, cubes will return to regular size.

Not enough water in reservoir. Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed properly. Check the water line to the unit to make sure there are no restrictions or kinks in the line. Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted or plugged.

Distributor tube is restricted. See Cleaning the Ice Machine System section for cleaning the unit for proper operation.

Build-up of deposits on evaporator See Cleaning the Ice Machine System plate. section for cleaning the unit for proper operation. Leaking drain valve See Cleaning the Ice Machine System section for

cleaning the unit. Cleaning the unit will also dissolve and flush out foreign material in the drain valve.

FINAL PREPARATION 1. Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off. The interior of the ice

machine should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry to remove film residue and any installation dust or debris before being used. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely needed.

2. All stainless steel parts should be wiped with hot soapy water. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners, or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel; scratches are almost impossible to remove.
