Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it

is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from

the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When moving the ice maker, be careful not to roll over

or damage the power cord.

KEEP FROM FREEZING: Severe damage will occur

to the unit if left in or operated in temperatures beyond

the limits listed in this manual. That damage is NOT

covered by warranty.

KEEP DRY: Do not locate in low lying areas where

puddles will accumulate

PROVIDE SHADE: Heat gain from the sun will reduce

the unit's ability to make and store ice, and ultraviolet

radiation from the sun can potentially damage the unit's

plastic components.

WATER SUPPLY: Avoid a long run of hose or tubing

exposed to the sun. Plastic water supply tubing should

ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND

PREPARATION

This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in

a controlled environment or outdoors within certain

limits.

It is made up of two major systems: the ice making

system and the ice storage system. The ice making

system is a continuous flow that makes ice when the

ice level becomes low and stops when it is full.

The ice storage system is an insulated chest

with a drain at the bottom for melting ice. It is not

refrigerated, insuring that the bin contains fresh ice.

IMPORTANT: Never keep anything in the ice storage

bin that is not ice. Objects like wine or beer bottles are

not only unsanitary, but the labels can slip off and plug

up the drain.

IMPORTANT: Never allow the machine to operate

without regular cleaning. The machine will last longer

if it is kept clean. Regular cleaning should happen

at least once per year, and preferably twice. Some

water conditions will dictate even more frequent

cleaning of the ice making section, and some carpets

or pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the

condenser.

Specifications

The ice machine will operate adequately within the

limits, but functions best in temperatures between

ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND PREPARATION (Cont.)

Water Quality

All water, including potable water supplied by

municipalities, contains some impurities or minerals.

Water absorbs impurities from the air as rain and/or

as it flows through the ground. Some of the impurities

are solid particles. These are known as suspended

solids, and a fine particle filter will remove them.

Other impurities are chemically bonded to the water

molecules and cannot be filtered out. These are called

dissolved solids.

Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral

content than the water it was made from. This is due

WRWKHPHWKRGRIPDNLQJLFH3XUHUZDWHUZLOOIUHH]H

first in the ice making molds. The reason for this is that

DQ\WKLQJGLVVROYHGLQZDWHUORZHUVWKHZDWHUVIUHH]LQJ

temperature. This concentrates most of the impurities

of the ice machine water reservoir where they may form

hard deposits known as scale. The machine dilutes the

concentration of minerals by over-filling the reservoir

GXULQJWKHKDUYHVWF\FOHZLWKWKHH[FHVVZDWHUIORZLQJ

GRZQWKHGUDLQ:DWHUXVHYDULHVZLWKDLUDQGZDWHU

temperatures. Between 2 and 4 pints of water flow into

the unit each cycle. Between 1 and 3.5 pints of that

rinses the reservoir and goes down the drain.

Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick to

the parts in the machine. This will cause malformed ice

cubes. Eventually, built up mineral scale can shorten

machine life.

To keep the machine operating properly, these

impurities or minerals will have to be regularly dissolved

by an acid cleaner. Directions for this may be found in

the Care and Cleaning section.

Filters and Treatment

In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water.

A proper water filter can remove taste and odors

as well as particles. We recommend using a GE

$SSOLDQFHV:DWHU)LOWHURQ\RXUZDWHULQOHWOLQHVXFK

DV*($SSOLDQFHV0RGHO1XPEHU*;5/43OHDVH

go to GEAppliances.com to review the installation

instructions and determine which filter will suit your

application. In Canada visit GEAppliances.ca. Some

other methods of water treatment for dissolved solids

include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate feeders.

RO Water

This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis

water, but the water conductivity must be no less than

PLFUR6LHPHQWVFP$UHYHUVHRVPRVLVV\VWHP

should include post treatment to satisfy the R.O. water's

SRWHQWLDODJJUHVVLYHQHVV'HLRQL]HGZDWHULVQRW

recommended.

Because water softeners exchange one mineral

for another, softened water may not improve water

conditions when used with ice machines. Where water

is very hard, softened water could result in white,

mushy cubes that stick together.

If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of

use water specialist for recommendations on water

treatment.

Installation Overview

The ice machine must:

- be connected to cold, potable water

- be connected to a drain

- be connected to the proper power supply

- be able to circulate air through the vents at the front

NOTE: Do not build in so that the door is recessed.

CAUTION

Due to excessive weight, TWO

PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO MOVE AND INSTALL

THIS Ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or

other injury.

Cutout & Product Dimensions

Installation Notes

Built-In Installation: If a finished floor is to be installed

in the area after the ice machine has been built in,

shims the expected thickness of the floor should be

installed under the unit to keep the machine level with

the planned floor level.

NOTE: The water connection is at the back and adds a

few inches to the cabinet depth.

Installation on a slab: You will need to install a drain

pump to the appliance and pump the water to the point

of drainage. See Accessories. Pump models will pump

Accessories. If there is not enough room behind the

machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will

have to be below the floor.

NOTE: When installed in a corner, the door swing may

be limited due to handle contact with the wall or cabinet

face.

A water supply is required. Water supplies vary in the

degree of mineral content. High mineral content water

will require more frequent maintenance. Water filtration

may improve the taste of the ice as well as cut down on

some of the mineral build up.

GRAVITY DRAIN

Drain Installation

NOTICE

Restrictions in the drain

system to the machine will cause water to back

up into the ice storage bin and melt the ice.

Gravity drain tubing must be vented, have no

kinks, and slope to the building drain. Air gaps

are typically required by local codes.

1. Place the ice machine in front of the installation

opening. Adjust leveling legs to the approximate

NOTE: If the drain opening has been located in the

floor under the base pan according to the pre-install

specifications, follow steps 3-6 to drain the unit

through the base. If not, proceed to 6.
