USING YOUR ICE MACHINE
1.Allow your ice machine to run for at least 48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice bin.
2.The unit will cycle off between ice production and ice harvest cycles.
3.Your ice machine will make unusual noises that you do not normally hear form your household refrigerator/freezer. These noises do not mean your ice machine is not functioning properly. They occur as a normal part of the ice machine’s operations.
4.The unit will automatically shut down when the ice bin is full.
5.Unplug the ice machine before working on the unit.
6.Keep the ice machine clean for proper ice quality, production, and unit life.
7.Room and water supply temperatures will greatly affect the output of ice in the unit. (See table below.) Ice will also melt away, especially at the start of an empty bin, but will slow down as ice accumulates.

*NOTE: Due to variables in installation and use, individual results may vary. **Continuous run, bin will fill significantly, but heat flow and water temperature do not
allow ice bin to fill to
Outdoor Use
1.For best performance, install under a counter or shelter. Avoid direct sunlight.
2.If the ice machine is not used for an extended period of time or if temperatures are below 450F (7.20C), it is necessary to remove remaining water in the ice making system. (See Preparing Ice Machine for Storage, p. 12).
3.Chlorine gas from swimming pools and spas may discolor stainless steel. (See Cleaning and Maintenance below for instructions on cleaning).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Condenser
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet. Spiders and insects can nest in and around the ice machine causing damage to the unit. Frequently brush or vacuum (twice yearly) lint and dirt from the condenser for efficient performance by unscrewing the grill and kickplate on the bottom front of cabinet.
Cabinet
The cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.
Interior/Ice Scoop
Wash interior compartment and ice scoop with mild soap and water or a baking soda and water solution. Do not use abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
