CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION : Failure to unplug the ice maker could result in electrical shock or personal injury
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance
intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or there are
other special considerations.
Periodically vacuum dust and dirt from the condenser, locate behind the grille at the bottom front of the unit.
Regularly inspect plumbing connections to insure that no leaks are present.
Disconnect the water supply hose if the ice maker will not be used for a long period of time.
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not sanitary.
IMPORTANT:
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug and pull out firmly.
Exterior cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz.(28g) of dish-
washing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft
sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting.
Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive
cleaning agent.
Interior cleaning
When necessary, defrost and thoroughly clean the inside of the unit with mild soap and water. Do not use electri-
cal heating devices, sharp or pointed tools when defrosting.
When defrosting or leaving open the unit turned off, leave the door open.
This allows air to dry the inside of the cabinet, reducing the chance for mildew and damage to the mold mecha-
nism’s components.
Winterizing
WARNING: Disconnect power at source before working on the unit. Do not winterize this unit with ANY type of
anti-freeze; damage to the mold coating will occur, invalidating product’s Limited Warranty and creating potential
health hazard.
1. Shut off the water supply to the unit.
2. Remove the front grille and disconnect water supply connector. Remove white plastic tubing and nut from
bottom of solenoid valve.
3. Turn power on. Allow unit to run for an hour. Remove any cubes that may have been ejected during this pe-
riod. Turn off power and open the door to allow the inside to defrost. After it has defrosted, wipe it dry and
leave door open.
Recommissioning
Connect water supply lines, turn on water, check for leaks, then restore power to the unit. After initial cool down
of 45-60 minutes, the unit will cycle approximately every 40 minutes.
Start-up
Turn on water, check for leaks and then turn on power. Turn on the unit by pressing the Power button. Fan and
compressor will normally turn on immediately, resulting in air circulation through the grille and a faint hum from
the compressor. If machine was shut off while in ice harvesting cycle, it will have to complete the cycle before
compressor and fan turn on (approximately 5 minutes). Interior temperature will drop below freezing. First har-
vest of ice should occur within 60 minutes of start-up. After lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and refilling
occur every 40 minutes or less, under normal conditions.
