10 Start-Up for the First Time
Initial Start-Up
The on/off switch is located behind the front grille. A small opening in the top of the grille is provided to access the switch. Ensure that the switch is turned on.
No setting adjustments should be necessary at this time. For information about Adjusting the Temperature Control, see the User Manual.
As soon as the ice maker mold reaches the proper temperature, the ice maker mechanism will fill the mold with water.
Note: The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. After two hours, cubes will be standard size.
The ice maker will continue to produce until the bin is full. You may interrupt production by raising the bin
arm into an upright and locked position (see Figure 23). While the bin arm is locked, the unit will maintain temperature for ice storage.
IMPORTANT
It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first
