12 n If installina decorative wood panels on the door azd lower panel, follow the “Changing the bin door and lower panel” instructions.
13 n Turn on the water supplv and check for leaks. Then turn on’the electrical supply.
14 n Reattach the lower access panel and air grille assembly.
15 H Check that all parts have been installed and that no’steps were skipped. Check that you have all the tools you started with.
16 n Take a few minutes to read the ‘How your ice maker works” and “Thingsto remember” sections, Panel C, and the Use and Care Guide to fully understand your new ice maker.
Preparing the ice maker for use:
17 n Open the ice maker door. Wash out the jnterior bin with a solution of two tablespoons baking soda and one quart water. Rinse the bin thoroughly with water.
18 n Turn the ice maker control knob to the “CLEAN”posttion. Check that the pump motor is operating correctly.
Note: Only the pump motor operates in the “CLEAN”setting.
Check the operation:
Before running your ice maker for tne first time, note the following:
l Water enters only during the harvest cycle so the first harvest cycle will be completed without water in the system.
l Water will not enter the pump pan until the freezing plate gets cold and the ice maker begins a harvest cycle.
lOnce the ice maker has been operating for a while, a normal harvest cycle takes between 1 to 2 minutes to complete.
However, the initial run takes approxi- mately three hours to produce ice.
l The evaporator thermostat opens when the evaporator reaches the preset temperature (+lo”F to -3”F, depending on the thickness of the ice). The hot gas solenoid and the water valve solenoid are energized at this time and the pump motor and fan motor will shut down. The motors will remain off and the solenoids will remain charged until the evaporator reaches 38°F (+ 2°F) again.
lIce maker must run at least 24 hours before adjusting the thickness setting.
19 n Turn the control knob to “ON” position. Check that the condenser fan is revolving.
Ice maker must run for three hours before ice will form.
three hours. When water flows over the freezing plate, check that it is flowing evenly. If it is not, the ice maker is not level and Step 10 should be repeated.
21 n Continue to let the ice maker run for 24 hours. Then check to see if the cubes are the desired thickness. If necessary, adjust the thickness control.
Changing the bin door and lower panel
The bin door and lower panel can be customized to match wood cabinets. Check your type of ice maker (Model A or B) to determine the height needed for the bin door. Only those models with a solid lower panel and toe space grille can be fitted with a lower wood panel.
l Cut panels using the specified dimensions.
l Make sure wood grain matches the direction of cabinet wood grain.
l The ice maker is subject to some humidity. Cover both sides and edges of wood panels with moisture-resistant sealer.

Injury Hazard
Wear gloves and handle metal panels carefully.
Cut metal panel edges are sharp and may cause injury.
To change bin door panel:
1.Open bin door and remove two screws attaching handle to top of door. Remove handle.
2.Slide metal panel out of bin door.
3.Break off the ribs on the door insulation.
Break off all
0 door insulation ribs.
4.Slide the wood door panel into the bin door frame.
5.Reattach the handle with the two screws.
To change lower panel:
1.Remove three screws attaching lower panel assembly to ice maker.
Remove two screws at top of lower panel assembly.
2.Slide metal panel and spacer panels out of lower panel assembly. Set spacer panels aside.
3.Slide metal panel back into the lower panel assembly. Slide wood panel in front of the metal panel.
4.Reinstall the two screws at the top of the lower panel assembly. Reattach the lower panel assembly to the ice maker.
How your ice maker works
When the ice maker is turned to “ON”:
l Compressor and condenser fan both run.
l Water pump circulates water.
l Cutter grid becomes warm to touch.
When the ice slab reaches the desired thickness:
l Harvest cycle begins (normal harvest takes 1 to 2 minutes).
l Evaporator thermostat is satisfied.
l Compressor keeps running but the condenser fan will stop turning or turns very slowly.
l Water pump stops.
l Hot gas solenoid and water inlet valve open.
lExcess water is flushed out of the drain pan.
l Cutter grid remains warm to touch.
After the ice slab is released:
l Cycle begins again.
l Cutting process begins.
When the storage bin is filled:
l Bin thermostat opens.
l Cutter grid remains on.
Things to remember
l The ice maker will automatically continue to harvest ice until the storage bin is full.
l The ice maker will shut down when the ice in the storage bin touches the bin thermostat well. It will begin harvesting ice again when ice is removed from the bin.
l The storage bin is not refrigerated, so there will be some melting. This will vary with the temperature of the room where the ice maker is located.
l The ice maker must have good ventilation to work properly. Do Not block the front of the ice maker. Keep the front air grille and condenser clean.
l The water system, including the filter screen in the water solenoid valve, needs to be cleaned periodically for good circulation. Instructions for cleaning the water system are located on the inner door panel.
l As the temperature of the room and water varies, so will the amount of ice produced. Higher operating temperatures will result in less ice made. To make the most ice, set the thickness control to produce l/2” to 5/8” thick cubes.
