Operation

STARTING THE CLEANING PROGRAM

It is highly recommended to run the cleaning program before ﬁrst use (or when the unit has

been unused for an extended period). This cleaning process will take about 20 minutes.

1. Plug in the Power Cord. The “POWER” indicator will light up.

2. Check the Drainpipe behind the unit. Ensure the Water Drain Cap is inserted into the

Drainpipe or the appliance will not work properly.

3. Touch the “CLEAN” button. “CLEAN” indicator will light up and ﬂash after 5 seconds.

It will take at least 20 minutes to run the cleaning program. To stop the program, just

touch the “CLEAN” button again.

4. After the cleaning program is complete, move the unit to the edge of the surface while

making sure that the appliance is stable. Place a bowl or container under the appliance.

Release the Drainpipe from the back of the unit and pull out the plug from the Drainpipe.

This will cause the water in the tank under the Drawer and the evaporator to drain into

the water container. Reinsert the Drainpipe plug and replace the Drainpipe.

the “LIGHT” button again.

NOTE:

• Always use the scoop to remove the ice from the machine. Do not use your hands

to remove the ice to avoid contamination.

• To maintain a clean and sanitary unit, do not return ice into the Ice Maker once it

has been removed.

ATTENTION:

• Empty the Drawer and Water Tank before turning the unit off, otherwise the water

may overﬂow.

Operation

COMMON OPERATING NOISES

Your new Ice Maker may make unfamiliar sounds. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard

surfaces like the ﬂoor, walls, and countertops can amplify these sounds.

Here are the sounds you may hear and their potential source:

• WHIR – When the appliance is ﬁrst turned on, you may notice the condenser

fan spinning.

• BUZZ – When the water pump ﬁrst turns on, it may be dry and slightly noisy.

Once it is ﬁlled with water, the noise reduces signiﬁcantly.

• RATTLE – Rattling noises may be produced from the ﬂow of the refrigerant.

These noises should reduce signiﬁcantly once the refrigerant system has stabilized.

• GURGLE – When the refrigerant system shuts off, there may be a brief gurgle

as the refrigerant stops ﬂowing.

• HUM – The compressor is a motor. It produces a low hum when running.

• CLICK – As nugget ice is produced, it drops into the Ice Drawer. You will hear the

loudest sounds when the ﬁrst nuggets impact with the empty ice bin. As the bin ﬁlls,

this noise reduces signiﬁcantly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To keep your ice tasting fresh and your Ice Maker looking great, clean your Ice Maker regularly.

Unplug the unit before cleaning or maintenance.

Ice Drawer

Remove the Ice Drawer. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water,

and a soft cloth.

Ice Scoop

Clean regularly with warm, soapy water. Dry the scoop before use.

Exterior and Interior

Remove the Water Drain Cap on the back. Drain out any water in the Drainpipes.

Use room temperature water and mild detergent with a soft cloth to clean the interior

of the Ice Maker. Rinse with water. Run 3 cycles of ice with new water and discard the

ice each time.

Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

Cooling Fan

Regularly check the cooling fan for dirt or dust buildup. With the power OFF,

use a soft, dry brush to gently remove buildup from the outside of the fan cover.

Cooling Vents

Regularly check the Cooling Vents for dirt or dust buildup.

With the power OFF, use a soft, dry brush to gently remove buildup from the vents.

Collect Dirty Water

After clearing the Drainpipes, you can collect dirty water for other uses

(it is non-potable). (See visual in Parts Overview > Page 6)

1. Remove the Drain Cap from the Drainpipe on the back of the appliance.

2. To collect dirty water, empty the Water Tank under the Ice Drawer.

3. Reinsert the Drain Cap and then the Drainpipe.

4. Wash the Water Tank and reinsert it.

Storage Requirements

If the unit will remain unused for an extended period, dump any remaining ice, and drain all

the water from the Water Tank. Completely dry the Ice Drawer and Water Tank. Once dry,

reinsert them into the appliance.
