¾INITIAL START-UP OPERATION

1.MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED BY A LICENCED PLUMBER.

3.PLUG THE APPLIANCE INTO AN 115V POLARIZED AND GROUNDED WALL ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

5.MAKE SURE THE WATER SUPPLY IS ON. AS SOON AS THE INNER MECHANISM REACHES THE PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE ICEMAKER COMPONENT WILL FILL THE MOLD WITH WATER.

6.THE FIRST CUBES MAY BE SMALL BECAUSE OF AIR IN THE WATER LINE. LATER CUBES WILL BE OF STANDARD CRESCENT MOON TYPE SIZE AND SHAPE.

7.THE APPROXIMATE TIME FOR THE FIRST CYCLE IS BETWEEN 30-40 MINUTES.

8.EACH CYCLE WILL TAKE ABOUT 5 OUNCES OF WATER SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULL TRAY AFTER ABOUT 11 HOURS.

IMPORTANT: THROW AWAY ALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF OPERATION.

	AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WILL

	IF THE ICEMAKER IS NOT USED REGULARLY, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE

ICE BUCKET BE EMPTIED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE FRESH ICE.

•SOMETIMES THE CUBES MAY APPEAR CLOUDY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CAUSE FOR 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.
