INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using your Ice Maker

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the ice maker to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface using a soft cloth and a lukewarm mixture of 2 tablespoons of baking soda for each quart of lukewarm water..
• This appliance is intended to be used for residential applications.
• When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorized disposal site.

Installation of your ice maker

• This appliance is designed to be for free standing or built-in installation .

• Place your ice maker on a level surface that is strong enough to support the weight when fully loaded.

• This appliance is using flammable refrigerant. Be careful not to damage the cooling pipe during the transportation.

• Place the ice maker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).

• Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
  Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.

• Avoid locating the unit in humid areas.

• Plug the ice maker into a properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding please contact a certified electrician or an authorized product service center.

CAUTION

• To store the ice maker cooler for an extended period of time; the unit should have a thorough cleaning and the door should be left ajar to allow air to circulate. This will avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or odors.

Ambient Room Temperature Limits
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures specified by its temperature class marked on the rating plate.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To build in the ice maker, we suggest keeping the distance of at least 1 inch from every left, right and topside of the wall and at least 4 inches to the back side of the wall in order to properly vent out the hot air. Please see below detailed drawing.

Connecting ice maker to water supply

WARNING: When connecting water supply line to the ice maker, make sure to disconnect the ice maker from electrical power. This will avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage:

• Copper tubing or braided stainless supply line is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4 inch plastic is not recommended since these increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused by locally supplied line to unit
• Do not install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Connect the ice maker to potable water source that is not tied into a water softening system. Chemicals from the softener may damage the ice maker, causing it to malfunction.

WARNING!
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local and state plumbing codes. All connections must be made by a licensed plumbing contractor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage and/or harm.
Before installing the water supply line, you will need:

• Adjustable wrench and a standard flat blade screwdriver.

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa).

• A water supply line made of 1/4 inch OD copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the ice maker to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet, so the ice maker can be moved out for cleaning.

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. Do not use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
  NOTE: The following accessories are needed but not provided.

• 10 feet of 1/4 inch OD copper tubing or braided stainless supply line

• Saddle type shutoff valve (non-piercing)

• (2) 1/4 inch brass compression nuts

• (2) ferrules /sleeves

CAUTION
Do not use any plastic water supply line. Plastic may crack and could cause damage to your home.
Do not reuse an old hose set. Use a new hose set.
To connect water supply line to ice maker inlet valve:

1. Disconnect ice maker from electric power supply.

2. Place the end of water supply line into sink or bucket.

3. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
   Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and save it for use later.

4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto the water supply line, as shown in Fig. A.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (approximately 1/4 inch).

6. Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; do not over tighten.

7. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of ice maker at location as shown in Fig.A.

8. Coil excess water supply line (about 2 ½ turns) behind ice maker as shown in Fig.A and arrange coils so theyb do not vibrate or rub against any other surface.

9. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.

10. Reconnect ice maker to electric power supply.

Although the unit has been tested and cleaned, due to transit and storage, the first batch of ice cubes should be discarded.
It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.
IMPORTANT: Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working. Never touch the evaporator when the unit is running. Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and insure proper ice formation.

Drain-pipe Connection

• Direct drainage or force drainage mode, the external drain connection instructions are below:
• Connect one side of the external drain pipe linker to the outlet pipe of ice maker, the other side is put into the drain hole.(see Fig B.)

A- Pump assisted drain
B- Gravity fed continuous drain
NOTE: When using pump assisted drain “A” the switch (on back) must be turned to “ON” position.
