OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING ICE MAKER TO

WATER SUPPLY

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe

personal injury, disconnect the Ice Maker from an

electrical power outlet before connecting a water supply

line to the Ice Maker.

CAUTION

Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line.

Water supply tubing made of 1/4” plastic is not recom-

mended since it greatly increases the potential for water

leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any

damange if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.

DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

- Connect the ice maker to a drinkable water source

that is not tied into a water softening system.

Chemicals from the softener may damage the ice

maker, causing it to malfunction.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply

with all local plumbing codes.

Before installing The Water Supply Line, You

Will Need

1. Basic tools: adjustable wrench and standard, flat blade

screwdriver.

2. Access to a household cold water line with water

pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

3. A water supply line made of 1/4 inch(6.4mm)OD,copper

tubing, To determine the length of copper tubing needed,

you will need to measure the distance form the ice

maker inlet valve at the back of the Ice Maker to your

cold water pipe.Then add approximadtely 7 feet(2.1

meters),so the Ice Maker can be moved out for cleaning.

4. A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your

household water sytem. (DO NOT use a self-piercing

type shutoff valve.)

5. A compression nut and ferrule(sleeve) for connecting the

water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To lce Maker

Inlet Valve

1. disconnect Ice Maker from electric power supply.

2. place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn

ON water supply and flush supply line until water is

clear, turn OFF water supply at shut off valve.Unscrewh

plastic cap from water valve inlet and save them

3. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule(sleeve),onto

water supply line, as shown in Fig.A.

4. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it

will go(1/4 inch). Slide ferrule(sleeve) into valve inlet

and finger tighten compression nut onto valve.Tighten

another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.

5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to

rear panel of Ice Maker at location shown in Fig.A.

6. Coil excess water supply line(about 2 1/2 turns)behind

Ice Maker as shown in Fig.A and arrange coils so they

do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

7. Turn ON water supply at shut off valve and tighten any

connections that leak.

8. Reconnect Ice Maker to electric power supply.

NOTE:

It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin

producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may cause ice

maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray

of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored or

have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24

hours.

Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the

factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first

batch of cubes must be discarded.

· Never turn the water supply tap of

f when the ice

maker is working.

· Never touch evaporator when unit is running!

· Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed

to reduce melting and insure proper ice formation.
