Ice
ICE MAKER OPERATION When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will
shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain
the ice supply.
NOTICE Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment because they will
freeze. To turn off ice production: Raise the bin arm into an upright and
locked position. The unit will preserve temperature for ice storage.
! CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to separate cubes.
Shake the ice bucket instead.
During periods of limited use or high ambient temperatures, it is common for
cubes to fuse together. Gently shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If not
using the ice maker regularly, empty the ice bucket periodically to ensure
fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. The cause is air trapped in the water
because of fast freezing. It is not caused by the health, taste or chemical
make up of the water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you
drink.
Remove the ice bucket for emptying and cleaning. To remove the ice bucket,
raise the bin arm and remove the bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice
bucket for ice storage only.
NOTICE If not intending to use the ice maker, turn the water supply valve off.
It is also important to raise the bin arm of the ice maker (see above).
Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage to the water valve.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear the
compressor or fan motor, the water valve, or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
USER GUIDE
ICE MAKER ADJUSTMENT Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment Interval – As Required On
ice maker equipped models, adjust the cube size by changing water amount
injected into the ice maker assembly as follows:
Turn the adjusting screw toward the minus (-) sign (clockwise) for smaller
cubes or toward the plus (+) sign (counterclockwise) for larger cubes.
4. Install the ice maker assembly cover.
ADJUSTING ICE HARVEST 1. Remove the front grille (see GRILLE INSTALLATION). 2.
Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw
(3) a small increment clockwise for a COLDER setting (slower ice production)
or counterclockwise for a WARMER setting (faster ice production).1. Remove the
ice maker assembly cover (1). 2. Find the adjusting screw on the ice maker
assembly
control box (2). The adjusting screw is just below the minus (-) and plus (+)
signs on the control box.

within the interior of your product, most often placed on the ceiling.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal
efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components.
Despite this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s
environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood, vinyl or tiled floors and
paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Listed below are common refrigeration components with a brief description of
the normal operating sounds they make. NOTE: Your product may not contain all
the components listed.
· Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard
when it operates.
· Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling
liquid.
· Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
· Running Water: As your unit continues to produce ice you will hear water
flowing into the collection chambers and running through the evaporator.
! DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD. Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the
unit before disconnecting the main electrical power.
Troubleshooting – What to check when problems occur:
Problem Unit Does Not Operate.
Light Remains on When Door is Closed Unit Develops Condensation on External
Surfaces. Poor Ice Quality. No Ice Production.
Not Enough Ice.
Water in Ice Bin.
Possible Cause and Remedy
No electrical supply. Plug unit in or check circuit breaker.
Turn off light switch if equipped. Check reed switch.
The unit may be exposed to excessive humidity. Moisture will dissipate as
humidity levels decrease.
Ice maker system may be dirty. Clean the ice maker.
Ensure water is being supplied to the unit. Verify the bin arm on the ice
making device is not locked in the up position. If it is, gently push the bin
arm down. See Ice Maker Production in the ICE section of this manual.
Ensure the condenser coil is clean and free of any dirt or lint build-up.
Check ICE section of this manual for more information. Ensure unit is not
located in excessive ambient temperatures or in direct sunlight. Ensure the
door is closing and sealing properly. Ensure nothing is blocking the front
grille, found at the bottom of the unit. Ensure the condenser coil is clean
and free of any dirt or lint build-up.

These temperature controls are double throw, single pole controls. The sensing
tube is inserted into the ice maker mold and senses mold temperature. After
ice is sensed in the mold, the 2-3 contacts open (stopping the compressor) and
the 2-1 contacts are closed (starting the ice maker motor). The 2-3 contacts
close (2-1 contacts open) before the end of the ice harvest cycle.The hold
switch prevents power going back to the compressor. This prepares the control
for the next cycle.

Defrost
This unit requires manual defrost, periodically.
Inspect the interior walls for frost build up every 3 – 4 weeks. Defrost your
unit when 1/4″ of frost builds up on the interior walls. Frost will build up
faster in humid environments and when the door is opened frequently.
To defrost, remove ice bucket, turn off unit, leave door open, and allow
frost/ice to melt naturally. Do not use tools to chip or scrape the frost as
it may damage your unit. Use a towel to absorb melting frost/ice. Before
turning the unit back on, make sure all the frost is gone and the unit is dry.
