INITIAL START UP
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Switch on the electrical power.
3. Push and release the On/Off switch to start the machine. The Ice Making light next to the On/Off switch will glow Blue.
4. Water will begin to flow into the unit. When the reservoir is full, water will start to drain from the machine. After a few
minutes the compressor, water pump and fan motor will begin to operate and the first ice making cycle will have
begun.
No adjustments are needed.
After about half an hour, ice will fall into the ice storage bin. The machine makes 24 cubes per batch. It is normal for the first
batches of ice to melt, that continues until the bin has cooled. It will take 8 to 10 hours of continuous run time to fill the ice
bin. When the bin is full of ice, the ice machine will shut off. It will automatically restart when the ice level falls, either from
use or normal meltage.
USE
No special instructions are needed for use. Just take as much ice as you need, the machine will replace it. A scoop is
provided, and it can be stored in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right side as a holder. That tubing is also the
ice level sensor; ice will fill the storage bin until it is near to or on that tube and then the machine will shut off.
The machine can be shut off anytime by just pushing and releasing the On/Off button. The machine will shut off at the end
of the next cycle. To shut off immediately, push and hold the On/Off button in until the machine stops.
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.
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.
Note: The Time to Clean light will switch ON after 6 months of use. It will remain ON until the ice making system is cleaned
using the process in the “How to clean the condenser and winterize” section.
Noise
The ice machine is designed for quiet operation, but will make some noise during the ice making cycle. During a freezing
cycle, it is normal to hear the fan moving air and the water pump circulating water. Ice hitting the bin or ice in the bin can
be heard during harvest. If ice making noise is objectionable, an appliance grade timer can be added to the power supply.
Set the timer to turn the machine off at the time(s) of day when the noise is most objectionable.
Normal cubes are tapered cylinders. If the cubes are ragged and mis-shaped, mineral scale must be removed from the ice
making system.
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.
