(clicks).

 

1.Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded electrical outlet.

2.Check that the ON-OFF switch in the ON position.

3.Open the water supply valve in the main water source. As soon as the ice maker mold reaches the proper temperature, the ice maker mechanism will fill the mold with water. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Subsequent cubes will be of standard size. Approximate time for the first cycle is 45 minutes. Allow 2 hours for any Frostfree models.

It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first two to three hours of operation.

Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use.
