GROUND ING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2- 2-prong wall outlet, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. For best operation, plug this appliance into its electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse, or tripping of the circuit breaker.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Ice Making

1. Add water to the ‘fill line’.
2. Press the power button.
3. Change the ice size if you don’t want medium cubes.

To immediately begin the ice-making process;

• Remove the ice bucket and add water to the Fill line. (approx. 3.5 L)
• Reinsert the ice bucket and press the Power button.
• Select the desired ice cube size (See “Ice Size” below).
• The ice maker will automatically begin approximately 15 seconds after the last button is pressed.

Please note: The length of the ice-making process is directly proportionate to the current ice size setting and batch completion time ranges between 9 minutes and 15 minutes per cycle, depending upon your ice size selection. For optimal results, please keep the ice maker door closed during the ice-making process

Ice Size Selection

1. Press Power or enter Delayed Start mode (see below).
2. Depress the ice size selection button on the control pad.

The ice size selection button allows you to choose from small, medium, or large ice cubes. By default your ice maker is configured to produce medium size ice cubes. However if you would like a different size of the cube, you need only depress the ice size selection button to cycle between the three (3) available sizes (small, medium and large.) Ice size change is possible during the running ice-making cycle, however, it is recommended to wait until the current cycle is complete before defining a new ice size.

NOTE:
Unless there is a power failure or power interruption to the unit. The ice size selection you have made will be retained as the default ice size.

Self-Clean Mode

1. Add water & vinegar (1:1)
2. With the power off, simultaneously depress the increase & decrease arrows twice.
3. Drain after the program is complete.
4. Add fresh water to fill the line.
5. Repeat Step 2 6 Drain after the program is complete.

The self-clean mode should be put into operation before you use your ice maker for the first time and/or if there has been a long period without use.

Stage 1

• Add equal parts of water and vinegar (1:1) to the ice maker’s reservoir.
• With the power off, press the increase and decrease arrows simultaneously two times to activate the self-clean mode. Please note, the self-clean mode will automatically initiate approximately 10 seconds after the last button depression.
• During the self-clean mode, the upper ice bucket is filled and dumped multiple times and the pump will remain in continuous operation as it feeds water to the bucket and evaporator coils. This cycle continues for approximately five and a half minutes. Upon completion, the unit automatically powers down and is now ready for stage 2.

Stage 2 

• Drain the cleaning solution from the internal reservoir by removing the rear drain cap and plug (see pg. 9).
• Add fresh water to the ‘Fill line’ in the internal reservoir.
• With the power off, press the increase and decrease arrows simultaneously two times to activate the self-clean mode which will now act as a rinse. Upon completion of this final stage of the self-clean process, the unit automatically powers down once again. Proceed to drain the water from the internal reservoir and leave the lid on the ice maker open to allow it to air dry.

Helpful Information

Draining Your Ice Maker
WARNING:
The internal holding compartment of this appliance for both stored ice cubes and stored water is NOT refrigerated. We recommend changing (replacing) any stored water that has not been used within 12 hours of the machine being operational.

To maintain a hygienic environment within your ice maker and prevent the potential formation of bacteria, it is highly recommended that you completely drain the ice maker after each use (daily) or if any water has been stored within the internal reservoir for more than twelve (12) Hours.

To drain your ice maker;

• Place a drip tray beneath the right rear portion of the cabinet. Depending on the amount of water contained in the internal reservoir, the water may exit the drain rapidly. Tilt the drain pan slightly towards the drain spout to prevent water from projecting away from the intended water collection area
• Remove the drain cap (as shown in Fig. 9.1 ).
• When the exiting water flow decreases to a ‘trickle’ slightly tilt your ice maker backwards to ensure all the water that may have been stored internally is thoroughly drained. Once the water has been removed from the appliance, wipe the internal reservoir and ice bucket dry and leave the ice maker lid in the open position to expedite the drying process.

Care and Cleaning

Helpful Hints
Allow the ice maker door to remain open for a few minutes after the ice-making process is complete, running the self-clean mode or manual cleaning, to air out and dry the inside of the ice maker cabinet.

NOTE:
Be certain the power is off before cleaning any part of this appliance.

How to clean the inside

Ice Bucket
To prevent breakage, do not place the ice bucket into hot water just after ice making. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water. The ice bucket can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the ice maker without the ice bucket in place. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on any part of your ice maker
