For your safety

Child Safety

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. Read product
labels for flammability and other warnings.

.

• Do not operate the unit in the presence of
explosive fumes.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to
secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.

Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the
unit is unpacked. Children should never use
these items for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers and
can quickly cause suffocation.

• An empty, discarded icebox, refrigerator,
or freezer is a very dangerous attraction
to children.
• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that
is not in use, even if it is being discarded.

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water
supply tubing made of 1/4inch plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly
increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any
damage

if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is
w ate

......................................

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before

Installing

The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,

and Phillips TM screwdriver.

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the
back of the freezer to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so
the freezer can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use
a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice
maker inlet valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet

Valve:

1.Disconnect appliance from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply
line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water
supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4 inch / 6.4
mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure A.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and ferrule are already assembled on the
tubing. Slide compression nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto
valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure B.

Turning Your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been
completed, the water supply valve must be
opened. Place the ice container under the
ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible.
Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or
ON position. New plumbing connections may
cause the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These first
cubes should be discarded until the cubes
produced are free of discoloration and taste.

Turning

Leveling Bracket

Your Ice Maker Off

To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal
arm until it clicks and locks in the "up" or
OFF position. The ice maker also turns off
automatically when the ice container is full.
]:f your model has an adjustable freezer shelf,
place the shelf in the lower position, so that
the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the
container is full.

Ice Maker Tips
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a
long period of time, turn the water supply
valve to the closed position.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
odd flavor. Empty the ice container and
ensure that the wire signal arm is in its
"down" or ON position. The ice maker will
then produce more ice.
Occasionally shake the ice container to
keep ice separated.

Your ice maker is shipped with the wire
signal arm in the ON position. To ensure
proper function of your ice maker, hook up
water supply immediately or turn ice maker
OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it
clicks and locks in the UP position.
Check the leveling bracket on the ice maker
to ensure the ice maker is level. If the gap
between the freezer wall and the ice maker
is the same at top and bottom, then ice
maker is level. If the ice maker is not level,
loosen the screw and slide the bracket
to the correct position to make it level.
Retighten the screw. You will need a 1/4 inch
socket wrench for this task.

Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or
OFF position until the freezer is connected
to the water supply or whenever the
water supply is turned off.
The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:

DO NOT place the ice container in dishwasher.
• Wash the ice container in warm water

Motor running
• Ice loosening from tray
• Ice dropping into ice container
, Running water
, Water valve opening or closing

with mild detergent.

Rinse well and dry.

• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.
