WIRING DIAGRAM
Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the
new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets 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. You
will hear a swooshing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water tank
for each cycle. Rattling 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 water tank to the
evaporator plate may make a splashing sound. Water running from the evaporator
to the water tank may make a splashing sound. As each cycle ends, you may hear
a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your icemaker. 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 storage bin. When you
first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice
maker is
programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
Preparing the Ice Maker for Long Storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to
another place, it will be necessary to drain out all of the water in the
system. 1. Allow all of the ice cubes have been ejected from the evaporator of

and beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but also it’s labels may slip off
and obstruct the drain pipe.
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water
solution such as 28g of dish washing liquid mixed with 7.5L 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.
Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and should be
cleaned. Clean stainless steel models with a mild detergent and warm water
solution and a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
NOTICE: Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as
in areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discoloration of stainless
steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
Interior Cleaning
For Ice Storage Bin
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the bin before the
