OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STARTUP STARTUP
All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety, performance,
component life, and warranty coverage.
• If the ice machine is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the ice machine to
prevent damage to the compressor.
• At startup, confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks.
1. Open the water supply shut-off valve.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or plug with
damp hands. If you have to slide the unit back for a built-in installation, make sure you do not
damage or pinch the water supply line, drain line, or power cord.
3. If required by sanitation code in your area, seal the perimeter where the machine touches the
floor with approved caulk compound in a smooth and easily cleanable manner.
4. Move the control switch to the "ICE" position and allow the ice machine to operate for
2 minutes. This allows the water tank to fill.
5. Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
6. Inside the storage bin, disconnect the suction tube by squeezing the tabs and pulling the tube
clear. See Fig. 31. Allow the water tank to drain.
7. Reconnect the suction tube as illustrated. See Fig. 32. Make sure the tabs lock into place; a loose
fitting may cause a water leak.

8. Clean the storage bin liner, door liner, and door
gasket using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after
cleaning.
9. Move the control switch to the "ICE" position to
start the automatic icemaking process.
10. To confirm bin control operation, hold ice in contact
with the bin control thermostat bulb. NOTICE! If the
ice machine does not stop within 10 seconds, the bin
control thermostat must be adjusted. Installation at
higher altitude locations are more likely to require
adjustment. See Fig. 33.
