Draining the unit, Normal Sounds | Whynter FIM-450HS specs

Draining the unit

This unit operates in a gravity drain system which clears excess water from the ice maker to ensure a continuous supply of ice. A water drain hose is provided with this unit. Firmly attach the drain hose to the drain outlet. Please note that the outlet of drain hose should be lower than ice maker so the water can flow out easily.

Normal Sounds

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.

∙The ice case motor will make a whirling noise when the ice case and shovel are moving.

∙Rattling noises may be produced from the flow of the refrigerant.

∙The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

∙The compressor may also produce a low tone humming sound.

∙Water that is being pumped into the ice case will make trickling, dripping or splashing sounds.

∙As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing.

∙You may hear fan noise and air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

∙During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice basket.

∙If the ice maker is run without water, the water pump will make a screeching noise.

Note: Do not run the unit without water!

Leveling the Ice Maker

It is important for the icemaker to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by turning the four feet on the bottom of the machine. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.

1.Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if the ice maker is level from front to back and side to side.

2.Adjust the height of the feet as follows:

•Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the ice maker

•Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the ice maker.
