INTRODUCTION
Series 84 and 85 Icer-ettes are CFC-Free automatic
icemakers designed and manufactured especially for
the marine environment. They produce up to 22 lbs
(10kg) of crescent shaped ice per day and can store 11
lbs (5kg). Two cabinet configurations are offered,
allowing counter height installations and shorter
limited height installations. Installation and
maintenance are simple because no drain is required
and the thermostat is fixed; never needing adjustment.
OPERATION
The Icer-ette's on-off switch is just beneath the door.
A unit begins to produce ice within 60 minutes after
start-up. Ice production stops automatically when
the bucket is full enough to interfere with the wire
shut-off arm. The unit should not be turned "off" with
the door closed and ice or water inside.
NOTES:
1. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear
"cloudy". This is trapped air in the water and
does not affect the taste or quality of the ice.
2. "Hollow" ice cubes may result from fast-
freezing under certain climatic conditions such
as high humidity, etc. and is not an indication
of a problem with the icemaker.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically vacuum dust and dirt from the condenser,
located behind louvered grill at the bottom front of
the unit; taking care not to damage aluminum fins in
the process. Regularly inspect plumbing connections
to insure that no leaks are present.
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 the unit
turned off, prop and leave the door open using door
lock link. 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. Disconnect as follows:
Model 85: Disconnect water supply connector behind
front grille at solenoid valve (garden hose connector).
Remove white plastic tubing and nut from bottom of
solenoid valve.
Model 84: Disconnect the in-line water supply
connector behind the front grille.
3. Turn power on. Allow unit to run for an hour.
Remove any cubes that may have been ejected
