OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER
Initial Start-Up Operation
1. Plug the appliance into a 115/120V AC polarized and grounded wall electrical outlet.
2. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the proper
temperature, the icemaker mechanism will fill the mold with water.
3. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard
crescent- moon shape.
4. Approximate time for the first cycle is between 30-40 minutes.
5. Each cycle will take approximately 0.15 quarts of water so the ice bin should be full after 11
hours.
NOTE: Discard all ice cubes made during the first 3 hours of operation.
• When the ice bin is full, the ice-making mechanism will automatically shut off.
However, the system will continue to cool and maintain the supply of cubes.
• Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position
(see illustration).
• If the ice maker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bin be
emptied periodically to insure fresh ice.
• Sometimes the cubes may appear cloudy. This should not be a cause for concern and has
nothing to do with the taste or chemical make-up of the water.
• This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker
walls is excessive or ¼” thick. To defrost, disconnect power to the unit, remove cubes and keep
door open at least two inches. There is a drain located in the rear.
• The BIM24OS is not designed to operate when exterior temperatures are below 45°F. If you
have seasons with temperatures routinely that low, the unit should be unplugged, cleaned and
stored for the winter. Always leave the door slightly ajar during storage so odors will not build up
inside the unit. Once a season, the stainless steel exterior can be lightly coated with WD-40 to
restore luster and protect the finish.
For Best Performance of your Ice Maker
• Keep appliance out of direct sunlight
• Allow for adequate air circulation
• Do not use an outlet operating on a switch
• Check GFCI cord regularly (for the outdoor BIM24OS)
• Minimize door opening time
Adjusting the Temperature
• For the BIM24OS: The temperature control is located in the rear of your icemaker. To make the
interior colder, use a screwdriver to turn the dial to the right. To turn the icemaker off, turn the
rear-mounted dial all the way to the left.
• For the BIM25H32 or BIM25H34: When you open the door of your appliance, you will see a
black dial thermostat located towards the lower righthand side. To turn your unit off, use a
flathead screwdriver to turn the dial counterclockwise until it stops. To turn back on, go in the
reverse direction.
Storage Compartment for a BIM25H32 or BIM25H34
This unit includes a small storage compartment located under the icemaker. Please note that this
compartment is not refrigerated.
