INSTALLINGYOUR

ICEMAKER

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

ice maker.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Removing packaging materials

IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction

labels inside your ice maker or the Tech Sheet that is

fastened behind the lower access panel.

• Remove tape and any labels from your ice maker

before using (except the model and serial number

label).

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area

briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also

be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid

dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe

with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,

flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape

or glue. These products can damage the surface of

your ice maker.

Cleaning before use

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the

inside of your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning

instructions in the "Caring for Your Ice Maker" section.

To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the

front side must be completely unobstructed. The unit

may be closed-in on the top and three sides, but the

installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled

forward for servicing if necessary.

Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water

supply inlet of V4"(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with

a shut-off valve and either a gravity-drain system or

condensate pump to carry the water to an existing

drain.

Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above

55°F (13°C) and below IO0°F (38°C). Best results are

obtained between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). This

unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the

elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.

When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow

the recommended opening dimensions shown. Place

electrical and plumbing fixtures in the recommended

location as shown.

NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord

between the ice maker and cabinet.

2. Floor Level

You should choose a location where the floor is even. It

is important for the ice maker to be level in order to

work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of

the ice maker by changing the position of the rear

wheels. See the "Leveling the Ice Maker" section.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection:

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 ampere electrical supply,

properly grounded in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is

required.

It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only

your ice maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which

cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

Recommended grounding method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded.

This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord

having a 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible

shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating,

3 prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in

accordance with the National Electrical Code and local

codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not

available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer

to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle

installed by a qualified electrician.

It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work

properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker,

you may need to make several adjustments to level it.

Tools required

• Carpenter's level

• Adjustable wrench

• 1/4"socket wrench

Undercounter installation

If you are installing the ice maker under a countertop, then

you may need to adjust the height of the ice maker. The

adjustable rear wheels are preset to position 1for a

cabinet opening height of 34" (86.4 cm).

1.For cutout height of 34" (86.4 cm)

2. For cutout height of 34_" (86.7 cm)

3. For cutout height of 34_6" (87.2 cm)

4. For cutout height of 34½" (87.6 cm)

adjust the rear wheel height

Using a 1/4"socket wrench, remove the five screws from

the rear access panel and carefully pull the panel away

from the drain hose.

Using a %" or adjustable wrench, remove the screw

that holds the rear wheel.

NOTE: Pushing up against the top back of the ice

maker takes some of the weight off of the wheels. This

makes it easier to remove the screws.

Move the rear wheel and screw to a new position as

needed for your cabinet opening height. Tighten the

screw completely.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to change the position of the

wheel on the other side.

Replace the rear panel and screws. Be sure that the

drain tube is positioned in the opening provided.

Use the front leveling legs to make sure the product is

level.

To adjust the front leveling legs

Your ice maker has two adjustable leveling legs to help you

steady the product and make sure it is level.

SUGGESTION: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you

have another person to assist you.

1, Place a carpenter's level on top of the product to see if

the ice maker is level from front to back and side to

side.

Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then

locate the leveling screws that are on the bottom front

of the product.

Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the

legs as follows:

• Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of

the ice maker.

• Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of

the ice maker.

NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to

add stability when needed.

Use a carpenter's level to re-check the ice maker to see

that it is even from front to back and side to side. If the

ice maker is not level, repeat Steps 2 and 3. If the ice

maker is level, go to the "Connecting the Ice Maker to a

Water Source" section.

Freestanding installation

If you are not installing your ice maker under a countertop,

you will probably not need to adjust the rear wheel height,

Follow the steps outlined in "To adjust the front leveling

legs" earlier in this section,

NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to

add stability when needed.

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing codes requirements,

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks,

• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures

will remain above freezing,

Tools required:

• Standard screwdriver

• 7A6"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable

wrenches

• 1/4" nut driver

• 1/4"drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded

NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"

(.635 cm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper

tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a

piercing-type or ¾6" (.476 cm) saddle valve which reduces

water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the water line:

1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

Find a 1/2"(1.27 cm) to 11/4"(3.18 cm) vertical cold

water pipe near the ice maker.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following

procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away

from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from

collecting in the valve.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(.635 cm) hole in the

cold water pipe you have selected.

Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe

clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(.635 cm)

drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under

the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe

clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a

watertight seal. Do not overtighten the pipe clamp or

you may crush cold water pipe if it is soft copper

tubing. Do not use a piercing-type or ¾6" (.476 cm)

saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and clogs

more easily.

5. REAR VIEW

Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use

1/4"(.635 cm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water

supply.

Measure from the connection at the front of the ice

maker to the cold water pipe. Add 3 feet to ensure

that you have the proper length. This is the length of

1/4"(.635 cm) OD soft copper tubing you need for

the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are

cut square.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on

copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into

outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw

compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable

wrench. Do not overtighten.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the

final connection to the inlet of the water valve to

prevent possible water valve malfunction.

Remove the two screws in the lower access panel and

the two screws in the base grille area of the front panel

support. Pull forward to remove the lower access

panel.

Position the tubing so it can enter one of the two

access holes located at the right-hand rear of the

cabinet as shown. The tubing should extend beyond

the cabinet front when the cabinet is pushed back into

position. Move the ice maker into position.

11,

Turn shut-off valve on. Check for leaks. Tighten any

connections (including connections at the valve) or

nuts that leak. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in

water strainer. If local water conditions require periodic

cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a

second water strainer should be installed. Obtain a

water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer and

install it at either tube connection.

12, Replace the lower access panel and screws.

Connecting the drain

Gravity drain system

Connect the drain pump hose (provided with the product)

to your drain in accordance with all state and local codes

and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided with a gravity

drain system, follow these guidelines when installing drain

lines: (This will prevent water from flowing back into the ice

maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor

causing water damage.)

• Drain lines must have a minimum of%" (1.6 cm) inside

diameter.

Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" [(2.54 cm) drop

per 122 cm)] of run or 1/4"drop per 12" [(.635 cm) per

30.5 cm)] and must not have low points where water

can settle.

The floor drains must be large enough to

accommodate drainage from all drains.

The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 11/2"(3.81

cm) to 2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly

below the outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must

maintain a 1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain pump

hose and the standpipe.

It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly

up to the drain inlet.

After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow

these steps to properly place the ice maker:

1, Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

2, Re-check the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See

the "Leveling the Ice Maker" section.

3. Push the ice maker into position so that the ice maker

drain tube is positioned over the PVC drain reducer.

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar

to you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are

normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can

make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The

following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new

to you and what may be making them.

• You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve

opens to fill the water reservoir for each cycle.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the

refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the

ice maker can also make noises.

The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating

or high pitched sound.

Water running over the evaporator plate may make a

splashing sound.

Water running from the evaporator plate to the water

reservoir may make a splashing sound.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound

due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by

the condenser fan.

During the harvest cycle, you may hear a "thud" when

the ice sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter

grid.

When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water

running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to

run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.

USINGYOUR

ICEMAKER

When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill

and the system will rinse itself before starting to make ice.

The rinsing process takes about five minutes.

Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will

cycle at preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located

in the ice storage bin will monitor the ice levels.

IMPORTANT

• If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be

sure to set the ice maker control to OFE

The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the

majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your

results are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be

filtered or treated.

Making Ice

Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As

the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are

rejected. This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low

mineral content.

When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is

released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides

the sheet into individual cubes.

The water containing the rejected minerals is drained

after each freezing cycle.

Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making

cycle.

Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the

ice maker shuts off automatically and restarts when

more ice is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated and

some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies

with room temperature.

NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so

will the amount of ice produced and stored. This means

that higher operating temperatures result in reduced ice

production.

To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.

To stop ice maker operation, select OFE

CARINGFORYOUR

ICE MAKER

Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it

operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature

failure of system components.

Both the ice making system and the air cooled condenser

need to be cleaned regularly.

The minerals rejected from the circulating water during the

freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in

the water system which prevents a rapid release of the ice

from the freezing plate.

Clean the ice and water system periodically to remove

mineral scale buildup. Frequency of cleaning depends on

water hardness. With hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal. [4 to

5 grains/liter]), cleaning may be required as frequently as

every 6 months.

÷ ®

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm

water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular

use of a good household appliance cleaner and wax will

help protect the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on

enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

CLEANING

NOTE: The CLEAN setting is used whenever solutions are

circulated through the ice maker for cleaning. Only the

water pump and compressor operate at this setting. See

the "Cleaning the Ice Maker System" section.

NOTE: Use one 16 oz. (473 mL) bottle of NU-CALGON*

Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. To order, call 1-800-

442-9991 and ask for Part Number 8171307.

1, Push the selector switch to OFE

Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage

bin. Remove all ice from the storage bin.

Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water

pan located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the

water to drain completely.

Replace the drain cap.

Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner

bottle before completing the steps below. Use one 16

oz. (473 mL) bottle of NU-CALGON* Nickel Safe Ice

Machine Cleaner.

6, Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the

bottle twice with tap water and pour it into the water

pan.

Push the selector switch to CLEAN. (See the "Setting

the Controls" section.) The light will turn on, indicating

that the cleaning cycle is in process. When the

indicator light turns off (approximately 45 minutes), the

cleaning cycle is complete. During the cleaning cycle,

the system will both clean and rinse itself.

After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove the drain

cap from the water pan to see if any cleaning solution is

left in the water pan. If cleaning solution drains from the

water pan, you should run the clean cycle again.

NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require repeated

cleaning with a fresh quantity of cleaning solution.

9, Push the selector switch to ON to resume ice

production.

5. Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines to water valve.

Allow these lines to drain and then reconnect to the

valve.

6. Replace lower access panel and screws.

7. Drain water from water pan by removing the drain cap.

8. If the room temperature will drop below 32° F (0° C),

remove water from the drain line.

For ice makers with a drain pump installed:

a) Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

b) Turn ice maker off and remove all remaining ice from

ice bin.

c) Pour 1 quart (0.95 L) of water into the ice bin near

the drain and let the unit stand for approximately

five minutes. This will allow the water in the bin to

drain into the drain pump so that the pump will

remove the remaining water from the ice bin and the

drain pump.

d) Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.

Before using again, clean the ice maker and storage

bin.

10. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

NOTE: All components of the ice maker are permanently

lubricated at the factory. They should not require any

additional oiling throughout the normal life of the machine.

TROUBLE-

SHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to

avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Unit does not run

• Is the control set to ON?

Be sure that the control is set to ON.

Is the power cord plugged in?

Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper

voltage.

Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

Is the room temperature cooler than normal?

Room temperature must be above 55°F (13°C).

Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold room

temperature and shut off even though bin is not full of

ice. Also, unit may not restart once it does shut off.

Is the control set to ON?

Be sure that the control is set to ON.

Is the water supply connected?

Make sure the water supply is properly connected and

turned on.

Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

Room temperatures of more than 90°F (32°C) will

normally reduce ice production.

Is the condenser dirty?

Dirt or lint may be blocking the airflow through the

condenser. See the "Cleaning the Condenser" section.

Is there scale buildup in the ice maker?

If there is white scale buildup in the ice maker's water

or freezing system, you should clean the ice maker. See

the "Cleaning the Ice Maker System" and the "Cleaning

the Interior Components" sections.

Is the cutter grid securely in place?

Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power. Remove

the cutter grid cover and check the cutter grid harness

plug to make sure the connection is secure.

Is there unusually high mineral content in the water

supply?

The water may need to be filtered or treated.
