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.
IMPORTANT:
THROW AWAY 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.
• This appliance 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 Outdoor 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
• Minimize door opening time
