How to Operate Your Ice Maker
•Make sure water is turned on.
Note: Due to differing water pressures the ice maker
water input may require adjustment. For this purpose
an adjustment screw is on the right side of the ice
maker behind the white front ice maker cover. Care
will be needed to make this adjustment. Read the fol-
lowing paragraph carefully.
To remove the cover simply pull it forward. Turn the
screw clockwise to increase fill or counterclockwise to
decrease fill. Only one revolution is to be made.
Further adjustment could damage the control module
of the ice maker.
•Check to be sure the shut-off arm is down to its lowest
position to allow the ice making unit to produce ice.
•When the air temperature is cooled sufficiently
(approximately -12.2° C), the ice maker thermostat
will start operation automatically.
•When the storage bin is filled with ice pieces, the shut-
off arm will automatically stop ice production.
•You may manually stop the ice maker by raising the
shut-off arm to lock in the uppermost position.
•The first few batches of ice pieces may be discoloured
or have an off flavour because of new plumbing.
Throw away these first ice pieces.
•When operation of the appliance is to be discontinued
for any length of time, the ice cube cavity in the ice
making device should be emptied and dried. The ice
bucket should be emptied and dried also.
•If the ice is not used regularly, it will clump together
with time. For best ice results discard ice in the bin on
monthly basis and allow the ice maker to make a new
batch of ice.
Care of the Unit
Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mop-
ping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grille
and/or rocker switch can occur.
For all cleaning of the ice maker, mix 2 tablespoons bak-
ing soda with 1 quart of warm water or use mild soap.
Do not use strong cleaners or scouring powder pads.
Door Gasket:
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with
mild soap and water or the above baking soda solution.
Temperature Control:
The ice maker comes from
the factory with a pre-set con-
trol. When you first use your
unit allow it to run for 24
hours for the interior tempera-
ture to stabilize. If you wish to
adjust the interior tempera-
ture use a small blade screw-
driver pushed through the
right hand side of the grille to
turn the temperature control
shaft. Turning it clockwise will make the unit cooler.
Turning it counterclockwise until it stops will make it
warmer. Turning it counterclockwise until it stops will
shut off the compressor and fan motor.
Caution: Should
you turn off the control, allow at least five minutes
before restarting in order to give the motor control time
to automatically reset so that it
can restart the motor.
Electrical
power to your unit is controlled
by the “ON/OFF” rocker switch
located in the front grille.
