IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
aWARNINGa  
FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO  
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL  
SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN USING YOUR ICE  
MAKER.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE ICE MAKER.  
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT.  
CHILD ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION ARE NOT PROBLEMS OF THE PAST. JUNKED  
OR ABANDONED APPLIANCES ARE STILL DANGEROUS.  
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR ICE MAKER: TAKE OFF THE DOOR.  
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE, PLAY WITH, OR CRAWL INSIDE THE  
APPLIANCE.  
NEVER CLEAN ICE MAKER PARTS WITH FLAMMABLE FLUIDS. THE FUMES CAN  
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.  
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS  
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE  
HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.  
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE USING YOUR ICE MAKER  
REMOVE THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR PACKING.  
CHECK TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PARTS:  
¾
1 ICE BUCKET  
1 PLASTIC SCOOP  
1 HOSE, 25 FT.  
1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL  
BEFORE CONNECTING THE ICE MAKER TO THE POWER SOURCE, LET IT STAND UPRIGHT  
FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A MALFUNCTION  
IN THE COOLING SYSTEM FROM HANDLING DURING TRANSPORTATION.  
CLEAN THE INTERIOR SURFACE WITH LUKEWARM WATER USING A SOFT CLOTH.  
¾
INSTALLATION OF YOUR ICE MAKER  
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO VENT HOT AIR THROUGH THE FRONT VENT. THIS  
ALLOWS FOR INSTALLATION IN A RECESSED OR BUILT-IN APPLICATION, IF DESIRED.  
PLACE YOUR ICE MAKER ON A LEVEL SURFACE THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT  
THE ICE MAKER WHEN IT IS FULLY LOADED. REMEMBER THAT THE UNIT WILL BE  
SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER ONCE IT IS OPERATIONAL AND FULLY LOADED. LEVEL YOUR ICE  
MAKER BY ADJUSTING THE LEGS AT THE FRONT OF THE ICE MAKER.  
LOCATE THE ICE MAKER AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SOURCES OF HEAT (STOVE,  
HEATER, RADIATOR, ETC.). DIRECT SUNLIGHT MAY AFFECT THE FINISH AND HEAT  
SOURCES MAY INCREASE ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION. EXTREME COLD AMBIENT  
TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ICE MAKER MALFUNCTION. THIS ICE MAKER IS  
DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION INDOORS IN “ROOM TEMPERATURE” AMBIENT  
CONDITIONS.  
AVOID LOCATING THE ICE MAKER IN MOIST/HUMID AREAS. TOO MUCH MOISTURE IN THE  
AIR WILL CAUSE FROST TO FORM QUICKLY ON THE EVAPORATOR REQUIRING FREQUENT  
DEFROSTING.  
PLUG THE ICE MAKER INTO AN EXCLUSIVE PROPERLY INSTALLED GROUNDED WALL  
OUTLET. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)  
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING POWER AND/OR  
GROUNDING SHOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARD A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
aWARNINGa  
IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL  
SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED  
SERVICER.  
THIS ICE MAKER SHOULD BE PROPERLY GROUNDED FOR YOUR SAFETY. THE POWER  
CORD OF THIS ICE MAKER IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG PLUG WHICH MATES WITH  
STANDARD THREE PRONG WALL OUTLETS TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRICAL  
SHOCK.  
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUND PRONG  
FROM THE POWER CORD SUPPLIED.  
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT POWER TO THE UNIT.  
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG GROUNDING ADAPTER.  
IF YOU ONLY HAVE A TWO-PRONG WALL RECEPTACLE, CONTACT A QUALIFIED  
ELECTRICIAN TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A 3-PRONG RECEPTACLE IN ACCORDANCE  
WITH APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES.  
THIS ICE MAKER REQUIRES A STANDARD 115 VOLTS A.C. 60HZ ELECTRICAL OUTLET WITH  
THREE-PRONG GROUND.  
THE CORD SHOULD BE SECURED BEHIND THE ICE MAKER AND NOT LEFT EXPOSED OR  
LOOSE.  
¾
EXTENSION CORD  
BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS, THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR  
USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD. HOWEVER, IF YOU MUST USE AN EXTENSION CORD, USE  
ONLY A UL/CUL-LISTED, 3-WIRE GROUNDING TYPE APPLIANCE EXTENSION CORD WITH A  
GROUNDING TYPE PLUG AND OUTLET. THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE CORD MUST BE 115  
VOLTS AND AT LEAST 10 AMPS.  
¾
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY  
aWARNINGa  
IMPROPER WATER LINE CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN FLOODING  
YOU MUST USE A LICENSED PLUMBER  
REVIEW STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION  
ALL THE NECESSARY HARDWARE IS NOT PROVIDED (AS THE PLUMBING FIXTURES AT  
THE INSTALLATION POINT MAY DIFFER) FOR INSTALLATION SO IT IS NECESSARY TO HIRE  
A PROFESSIONAL LICENSED PLUMBER TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.  
CONNECT TUBING (SUPPLIED WITH UNIT) TO THE NEAREST COLD WATER SOURCE.  
CONNECT SUFFICIENT TUBING TO THE UNIT TO ALLOW THE  
APPLIANCE TO BE MOVED FREELY FOR CLEANING AND SERVICE.  
ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THE TUBING IS NOT PINCHED OR DAMAGED  
DURING TRANSPORTATION/INSTALLATION.  
POSITION UNIT TO ALLOW FREE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE FRONT  
GRILL (SEE FIGURE 1).

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING OF YOUR ICE MAKER  
THIS APPLIANCE HAS THE CAPABILITY OF THE DOOR OPENING FROM EITHER THE LEFT OR  
RIGHT SIDE. THE UNIT IS DELIVERED TO YOU WITH THE DOOR OPENING FROM THE LEFT  
SIDE (HINGED ON THE RIGHT). TO REVERSE THE OPENING DIRECTION, PLEASE CALL  
CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR DIRECTIONS.  
OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER  
¾
INITIAL START-UP OPERATION  
1. MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED BY A LICENCED PLUMBER.  
2. MAKE SURE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION.  
3. PLUG THE APPLIANCE INTO AN 115V POLARIZED AND GROUNDED WALL ELECTRICAL  
OUTLET.  
4. PLACE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION.  
5. MAKE SURE THE WATER SUPPLY IS ON. AS SOON AS THE INNER MECHANISM REACHES  
THE PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE ICEMAKER COMPONENT WILL FILL THE MOLD WITH  
WATER.  
6. THE FIRST CUBES MAY BE SMALL BECAUSE OF AIR IN THE WATER LINE. LATER CUBES  
WILL BE OF STANDARD CRESCENT MOON TYPE SIZE AND SHAPE.  
7. THE APPROXIMATE TIME FOR THE FIRST CYCLE IS BETWEEN 30-40 MINUTES.  
8. EACH CYCLE WILL TAKE ABOUT 5 OUNCES OF WATER SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULL  
TRAY AFTER ABOUT 11 HOURS.  
IMPORTANT: THROW AWAY ALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF  
OPERATION.  
WHEN THE ICE BUCKET IS FULL, THE ICE MAKING MECHANISM WILL  
AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WILL  
CONTINUE TO COOL AND MAINTAIN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITHIN  
THE UNIT.  
THE ICE MAKING FUNCTION MAY BE TEMPORARILY STOPPED BY  
RAISING THE METAL ARM INTO AN UPRIGHT POSITION (SEE FIGURE 2)  
IF THE ICEMAKER IS NOT USED REGULARLY, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE  
ICE BUCKET BE EMPTIED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE 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.  
FIGURE 2  
THE FRONT GRILL SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF DUST AND LINT TO PERMIT FREE AIRFLOW.  
THIS UNIT SHOULD BE DEFROSTED ABOUT EVERY 4-6 WEEKS OR WHEN FROST ON THE  
ICE MAKER WALLS IS EXCESSIVE (¼” THICK OR THICKER). TO DEFROST, TURN THE UNIT  
OFF, REMOVE/DISCARD THE EXISTING CUBES AND KEEP DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO  
INCHES. YOU MAY WANT TO PUT A TOWEL DOWN TO SOAK UP ANY WATER DRAINAGE  
CAUSED BY DEFROSTING THE UNIT.  
DO NOT SCRAPE OFF THE FROST WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT A PLASTIC SCRAPER.
