CHANGING THE BIN DOOR AND LOWER PANEL
The storage bin door and lower panel are designed to
accept an optional decorative wood panel of your
choice.
The wood panel should be no more than VI inch (6 mm)
thick. Cut it to the same size as the production metal
panel. See Figure 1.
To change the bin door panel:
1. Open the bin door.

THERMOSTAT
CALIBRATIONS
If ice maker is installed above two thousand feet of
altitude, the bin and evaporator thermostats must be
adjusted to a warmer setting. Disconnect electricity,
remove thermostat and follow the directions for turning
the altitude adjustment screw as shown in the label on
each thermostat.
SHIPBOARD
OPERATION
When this ice cube maker is installed aboard a ship,
it will be necessary to purchase and install a water
deflector. This deflector hangs between the lower edge
of the evaporator and the cutter grid. It keeps the water
flowing over the evaporator from spilling into the storage
bin area. Order the necessary parts from your local ice
maker dealer.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 Amp fused electrical supply is required (time delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended).
It is recommended that a separate
circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided. DO
NOT use an extension cord.

REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord
having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible
shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating
3-prong grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in
accordance with all governing codes and ordinances.
If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 6.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
If changing and properly grounding the wall receptacle
is impossible and where local codes permit (consult your

inspector), a temporary adaptor may be
plugged into the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate
with the Bprong power supply cord. See Figure 7. THIS,
HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
eleCtriCal
NOTE: If this is done, you must connect the grounding
eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate
screw and from this same screw, you must connect a
separate copper ground wire (No. 4 minimum) to a
grounded cold water pipe*. See Figure 7. Do not ground
to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply
until appliance is permanently grounded.
*Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical
ground and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other
electrically insulating connectors (including water meter
or pump) without adding a jumper wire at these
connections.

UNIT WIRING DIAGRAM
THINGS TO
REMEMBER
This model operates at 115 volts except for the cutter
grid circuit which operates at 8.5 volts at 1 amp.
0 Water enters only during the defrost cycle. Therefore
the first cycle will be completed without water in the
system.
0 As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the
amount of ice produced. This means that higher
operating temperatures will result in reduced ice
production.
0 The unit will shut off when ice in the storage bin
touches the bin thermostat well and will automatically cycle to keep the bin full.
0 The storage bin is not refrigerated and some
meltage will occur. This, too, varies with the room
temperature.
0 The unit needs good air circulation to perform efficiently. Keep the front grill and the condenser clean.
0 The water system, including filter screen in the water
inlet solenoid valve, needs to be cleaned periodically
for good circulation. Instruction are located on the
inner door panel.
The compressor runs at all times except when the bin
thermostat becomes satisfied and opens up. This deenergizes the system except for the transformer, cutter
grid and bin light.
Under normal operating conditions, when the evaporator
reaches the preset temperature (+ loOF, -12.2OCto -3OF,
-19.4%, depending on thickness of ice) the evaporator
thermostat opens, terminating operation of the fan motor
and pump motor. The hot gas solenoid and the water
valve solenoid are energized at this time and remain so
until the evaporator reaches 380 + 2OF (3.30 + 1%).
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
0 For complete operating information, refer to the Use
and Care Guide.
0 Before starting, wash out interior of cabinet with a
Baking Soda solution (2 tablespoons soda to a quart
of warm water). Rinse thoroughly.
0 Make certain the water is turned on.
0 Turn switch to the “ON” position.
IMPORTANT:
Allow unit to run for 3 hours before expecting ice
and for 24 hours before trying to set the thickness
control.
If installed above 2,000 feet altitude,
thermostat adjustments.

CHECK OPERATION
CUBELET CUTTER GRIDS
Start the unit by turning the service switch to
“ON” and opening the line water valve.
NOTE: Left is “OFF”-Middle
is “ON”--Right
is
“CLEAN.” In “CLEAN” position, only the pump
operates.
19mmx19mm
Check condenser
fan to make sure it is revolving.
Water will not enter pump pan until freezing plate
gets cold and machine goes into a harvest cycle.
Check for even water flow over freezing plate. Unit
must be level for proper operation.
b
Check for desired cube thickness and after 24
hours adjust if necessary. Maximum ice yield
will be obtained with ice thickness at l/2” (12 mm)
to 518” (16 mm).
