Features

Starting the ice machine

This machine takes in room temperature air at the lower right front and forces warm air out the lower left front. Restricting the airflow or operating the machine in a hot or cold environment will adversely affect the ability of the ice machine to make ice.
When the door is opened, the control panel, ice-making area and ice storage bin are visible. The scoop is located in a holder along the right side wall.
This is a gravity drain model that must have a building drain connection below the level of the drain tube at the back of the cabinet. A pump can be installed, which can to be located where a gravity drain isn’t available. See Accessories drain pump.

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 white.
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 as the first ice-making cycle begins. No adjustments are needed.

In approximately 30 minutes, ice will fall into the ice storage bin. The machine makes 24 gourmet cubes at a time. It is normal for the first batches of ice to melt as the bin cools. It will take 8-10 hours of continuous run time to fill the ice bin. When the ice bin is full, the ice machine will shut off. It will automatically restart when the ice level falls, either from use or normal meltage. Discard the first bin full of ice.

ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND
PREPARATION
This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in a controlled environment or outdoors within certain limits.
It is made up of two major systems: the ice making system and the ice storage system. The ice-making system is a continuous flow that makes ice when the ice level becomes low and stops when it is full. The ice storage system is an insulated chest with a drain at the bottom for melting ice. It is not refrigerated, ensuring that the bin contains fresh ice.
IMPORTANT: 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Specifications

The ice machine will operate adequately within the limits, but functions best in temperatures between
Electrical voltage limits: See the Rating Plate inside the ice machine.
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.
Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral content than the water it was made from. This is due first in the ice-making molds. The reason for this is the temperature. This concentrates most of the impurities of the ice machine water reservoir where they may form hard deposits known as scale. The machine dilutes the concentration of minerals by over-filling the reservoir temperatures. Between 2 and 4 pints of water flow into the unit each cycle. Between 1 and 3.5 pints of that rinses the reservoir and goes down the drain. Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick to the parts in the machine. This will cause malformed ice cubes. Eventually, built-up mineral scale can shorten machine life. To keep the machine operating properly, these impurities or minerals will have to be regularly dissolved by an acid cleaner. Directions for this may be found in the Care and Cleaning section.
Filters and Treatment
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A proper water filter can remove taste and odors as well as particles. We recommend using a GE go to GEAppliances.com to review the installation instructions and determine which filter will suit your application. In Canada visit GEAppliances.ca. Some other methods of water treatment for dissolved solids include reverse osmosis and polyphosphate feeders.
RO Water
This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no less than should include post-treatment to satisfy the R.O. water recommended. Because water softeners exchange one mineral for another, softened water may not improve water conditions when used with ice machines. Where water
is very hard, softened water could result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of use water specialist for recommendations on water treatment.
Installation Overview
The ice machine must:
– be connected to cold, potable water
– be connected to a drain
– be connected to the proper power supply
– be able to circulate air through the vents at the front
NOTE: Do not build in so that the door is recessed.

ADVANCE PLANNING
CAUTION Due to excessive weight, TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO MOVE AND INSTALL THIS Ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Cutout & Product Dimensions 

Installation Notes
Built-In Installation: If a finished floor is to be installed in the area after the ice machine has been built in, shims the expected thickness of the floor should be installed under the unit to keep the machine level with the planned floor level.
NOTE: The water connection is at the back and adds a few inches to the cabinet depth.
Installation on a slab: You will need to install a drain pump to the appliance and pump the water to the point of drainage. See Accessories. Pump models will pump Installation over a crawl space or basement: Either Accessories. If there is not enough room behind the machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will have to be below the floor.
NOTE: When installed in a corner, the door swing may be limited due to handling contact with the wall or cabinet face.
A water supply is required. Water supplies vary in the degree of mineral content. High mineral content water will require more frequent maintenance. Water filtration may improve the taste of the ice as well as cut down on some of the mineral buildups.
