  • Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
  • In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized water is not recommended.

Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug that mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading boat wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the ice maker, be careful not to damage the power cord. If the supply card is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacture, its service agent or similarly qualified per-sons in order to avoid a hazard.

Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this ice maker.

ICE MAKING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Turn the unit on by pressing the Power button.
  2. Water will be pumped from the water valve to the ice maker tray for freezing. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard crescent type size.
  3. Once the freezing process is complete, the ice shovel will turn and push the ice cubes down to the ice basket.Whynter-MIM-14231SS-Undercounter-Automatic-Stainless-Steel-Marine-Ice-Maker-FIG- \(7\)
    • NOTE: Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, discard all ice cubes made during the first 3 hours of operation.
    • When the ice bucket is full, the ice maker tray will automatically shut off. When ice cubes are melted or removed, the ice maker will resume its operation.
    • Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position.
    • If the ice maker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bucket be emptied periodically to ensure ice freshness.
    • Sometimes the ice cubes may appear cloudy. This is due to the rapid freezing of the ice cube. This is trapped air in the water and does not affect the taste and quality of the ice.
    • The air intake and exhaust should be kept free of dust and lint to allow free airflow.
    • This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker wall is excessive or 1/4” thick. To defrost, turn the unit off, remove the ice cubes and keep the ice maker door open at least two inches.
    • Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment because they will freeze.
    • Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
    • Never touch evaporator when unit is running
    • Keep the ice maker door closed to reduce melting and to ensure proper ice formation.

NORMAL SOUNDS
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.

  • Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, items stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises.
  • The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
  • Water running from the evaporator to the water reservoir may make a splashing sound.
  • As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
  • You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
  • During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice basket

POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your ice maker if you minimize the number of times the ice maker cover is opened. If the power is going to be OFF for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to disconnect your appliance. Failure to unplug the ice maker could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION : Failure to unplug the ice maker could result in electrical shock or personal injury

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or there are other special considerations.

  • Periodically vacuum dust and dirt from the condenser, locate behind the grille at the bottom front of the unit.
  • Regularly inspect plumbing connections to insure that no leaks are present.
  • Disconnect the water supply hose if the ice maker will not be used for a long period of time.
  • Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not sanitary.

IMPORTANT:

  • Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
  • Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug and pull out firmly.

Exterior cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz.(28g) of dish-washing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting.
Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.

Interior cleaning
When necessary, defrost and thoroughly clean the inside of the unit with mild soap and water. Do not use electrical heating devices, sharp or pointed tools when defrosting.
When defrosting or leaving open the unit turned off, leave the door open.
This allows air to dry the inside of the cabinet, reducing the chance for mildew and damage to the mold mechanism’s components.

Winterizing
WARNING: Disconnect power at source before working on the unit. Do not winterize this unit with ANY type of anti-freeze; damage to the mold coating will occur, invalidating product’s Limited Warranty and creating potential health hazard.

  1. Shut off the water supply to the unit.
  2. Remove the front grille and disconnect water supply connector. Remove white plastic tubing and nut from bottom of solenoid valve.
  3. Turn power on. Allow unit to run for an hour. Remove any cubes that may have been ejected during this period. Turn off power and open the door to allow the inside to defrost. After it has defrosted, wipe it dry and leave door open.

Recommissioning
Connect water supply lines, turn on water, check for leaks, then restore power to the unit. After initial cool down of 45-60 minutes, the unit will cycle approximately every 40 minutes.

Start-up
Turn on water, check for leaks and then turn on power. Turn on the unit by pressing the Power button. Fan and compressor will normally turn on immediately, resulting in air circulation through the grille and a faint hum from the compressor. If machine was shut off while in ice harvesting cycle, it will have to complete the cycle before compressor and fan turn on (approximately 5 minutes). Interior temperature will drop below freezing. First harvest of ice should occur within 60 minutes of start-up. After lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and refilling occur every 40 minutes or less, under normal conditions.

Condenser cleaning
WARNING: DO not touch the condenser surface. The surface is sharp and can be easily damaged.

A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every six months.

  1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
  2. Remove the 2 screws on the front cover and gently pull it off.
  3. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the unit compartment with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
  4. Reassemble the front cover.
  5. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power.
