Operating your ice maker

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 “on” 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 moon type size.

5.Approximate time for the first cycle is between 30-40 minutes.

6.Each cycle approximately will take 140 ml 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. However the system will continue to cool and maintain the cubes supply.

Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position (see sketch 2)

If the icemaker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bucket be

 

emptied periodically to insure fresh ice.

 

 

SKETCH 2

Sometimes the cubes may appear cloudy. This is cause of no concern and has

 

 

 

nothing to do with the taste or chemical make-up of the water.

 

The front grill should be kept free of dust and lint to permit free airflow.

 

• 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.
