Site Preparation
Preparing the Site
IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that the unit is
level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not
fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice
rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling
into the storage area which will cause
the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely.
Remember that floors near drains have a
tendency to slope towards the drain.
1
2
3
Position the unit on a flat, level
surface, capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Remember
that the unit will be significantly
heavier once it is fully loaded.
The surrounding air temperature must
be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not
exceed 110°F (43°C).
The unit must not be located near
heat-generating equipment or in
direct sunlight.
5
Connect the unit to a grounded and
polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A
circuit (normal household current).
6 Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI). GFIs are prone
to nuisance tripping which will cause
the unit to shut down. GFIs are
generally not used on circuits which
power equipment that must run
unattended for long periods of time.
7 The unit must be installed according
to your local codes and ordinances.
NOTE
The door of this unit is not reversible
but a separate model is available with a
door that swings open in the opposite
direction. Electrolux stainless steel
models require a minimum 2-3/4 inch
handle clearance when installed against
a wall or cabinet that extends beyond
the front edge of the unit (Figure 1).

Installation
Select Location
Installing the Drain
The proper location will ensure peak
performance of your appliance. We
recommend a location where the ice
machine will be out of direct sunlight
and away from heat sources. To ensure
your product performs to specifications,
the recommended installation location
temperature range is from 55 to 90°F (13
to 32°C) for built in ice machines and 55
to 100°F (13 to 38°C) for freestanding ice
machines. Ice machines will not perform
correctly in ambient temperatures less
than 55°F (13°C). This unit is not intended
to be installed outdoors.
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom
front of the appliance. Keep this area open
and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent
cabinets and counter top can be installed
around the appliance as long as the front
grille remains unobstructed.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct the front grille. The
openings within the front grille allow
air to flow through the condenser
heat exchanger. Restrictions to this
air flow will result in increased energy
usage and loss of cooling capacity.
For this reason it is important this
area not be obstructed and the grille
openings kept clean. Electrolux does
not recommend the use of a custom
made grille as air flow may be
restricted (Figure 1).
Front Grille,
keep this area
open
CAUTION
PLEASE READ all instructions
completely before attempting to
install or operate the unit. Plumbing
installation must observe all state and
local codes. All ice makers require
a connection to the water supply
and improper hook-up can result
in substantial property damage! All
water and drain connections MUST
BE made by a licensed/qualified
plumbing contractor. Failure to follow
recommendations and instructions
may result in damage and/or harm.
Drain Plumbing
Your ice machine requires drain plumbing.
Follow these guidelines when installing
drain lines to prevent water from flowing
back into the ice maker storage bin and/
or potentially flowing onto the floor causing
water damage.

Factory Installed Drain Pump
This pump is designed to remove drain water from ice machines installed in areas without
direct drainage access. The sealed reservoir pump collects the melted ice water and pumps
it to a maximum lift of eight feet (2.44 meters) through 3⁄8” I.D. vinyl tubing to a drain.
The discharge tubing is coiled up and attached to the back of the ice machine. The 3⁄8
inch I.D. tubing needs to be plumbed and connected to a sanitary sewer (Figure 4).
CAUTION
This drain pump is designed to be
installed in Electrolux ice machines
only and has been evaluated for use
with water only. Drain line vertical rise
is not to exceed 8 feet and total drain
line length is not to exceed 20 feet;
otherwise, the ice machine may not
operate correctly.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Risk of electrical shock or personal injury
could occur due to moving components,
if the machine compartment access
cover is removed before unplugging the
ice machine power cord.
Drain line coiled and
secured to the back of the

Installation
Connecting the Water
Supply
CAUTION
Observe and follow all local plumbing
codes when installing this appliance.
After completing the installation, turn
on the water and recheck the drain
and water connections for leaks.
This ice machine must be connected to a
potable cold water supply line delivering
water pressure between a minimum of 20
psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water
supply which is available at any local
hardware or plumbing supply store.
Route the 1⁄4" copper tubing to suit your
installation being sure not to kink the
tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing
length to allow a coil to be formed behind
the unit for a "service loop" which will allow
the appliance to be pulled out from the
installation for servicing or cleaning (Figure
5). Connect the copper tubing to the "top
side" of a cold water pipe to prevent the
ice-maker from plugging with sediment.
A shutoff valve is recommended on the
water supply line to ease servicing the
appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING
TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as
they are prone to clogging with sediment
which will create pressure drop reducing
the water supply to the unit.
Connect the copper tubing water supply to
the water valve inlet with the compression
nut fitting provided. Secure the water
supply line to the back of the cabinet with
the screw and strain relief clamp provided
in the corner of the back panel (Figure 5).
Make certain all connections are watertight
after installation. Form the tubing so that it
will not vibrate against the cabinet body or
kink when your appliance is moved in and
out of position.
This ice machine is designed to make
clear ice from the majority of water
sources on a daily basis. If your results are
unsatisfactory, your water may need to be
filtered or treated. A water specialist can
recommend proper water treatment.

of the appliance should be set so the unit is
firmly positioned on the floor and level from
side-to-side and front-to-back. The overall
height of your appliance may be adjusted
to higher (by turning the leveling leg out,
counter clockwise) and lower (by turning
the leveling leg in, clockwise) dimensions as
shown in Table "A".

Door Adjustment 11
Adjusting the Door
Your door is aligned at the factory before
shipment. Occasional re-adjustment may
be necessary, especially if an overlay panel
is installed. The following procedure will
correct for up to 1/4” alignment.
The door should never be flush with the
top of the cabinet. Even when level, the
top edge of the door will be 1/8” below the
top of the cabinet (Figure 1).

If door edge opposite the hinges
needs to move up, move plate
toward outside of door. If door edge
needs to move down, move plate
toward inside of door. Repeat until
top edge of door is parallel with
top of cabinet and tighten screws
securely.
After adjustment is complete, remove
the door closers from the bottom
hinge, clean thoroughly and apply
petroleum jelly to the mating surfaces
of the closers (Figure 3). Be sure that
bosses on closers align with holes in
hinge and hinge plate. Mount door
and install top hinge pivot pin.

12 Operation of Ice Machine
Ice Making Process
Your ice machine is unique in how it forms
ice with fractional freezing to form a slab
of ice that is clear and has less mineral
content than the water it is produced from.
This is accomplished by running water over
the cold evaporator plate (Figure 1) which
gradually freezes the water to produce the
ice slab. Pure water freezes first, leaving the
dissolved minerals in the residual reservoir
water to provide clear ice.
The ice machine will keep producing ice
until the ice machine's bin is full and will
restart automatically when ice needs to
be replenished in the bin. The ice bin is
not refrigerated, and some melting will
occur. Allow your ice machine to run for
24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice
machine's bin.
The bin level sensor is located in the ice
bin, it senses when the ice supply is low
or full and starts or stops the ice making
process accordingly.
NOTE
If the water supply is turned off to the
ice machine be sure to set the electronic
control to the "OFF" position.
Figure 1
When the ice slab reaches the correct
thickness, the ice sheet is released and
slides onto the grid cutter (Figure 2). Here,
the ice slab is cut into squares by the
grid cutter's heated wires (Figure 3). The
water containing the dissolved minerals
is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh
water enters the machine for the next ice
making cycle.
Ice Production
In normal mode the ice machine will
produce about 35 pounds (15.9 kg) of clear
ice in a 24 hour period when installed in
a 70°F ambient temperature with a 70°F
water supply. In "ECO" mode (Controls
section) the energy consumption and
the amount of ice produced in a 24 hour
period will be reduced by approximately 23
percent.
NOTE
Figure 2
Figure 3
"Initial" ice production and ice
accumulated in the storage bin will vary
significantly. This is normal. During the
first 24 hours of operation the unit will
produce about 30 lbs. of ice at the above
temperature conditions, but when starting
with an empty ice storage bin, the storage
bin may only accumulate about 18 lbs.
of ice. By design, the ice storage bin is
maintained at a temperature slightly above
freezing to allow the stored ice to slowly
melt, to preserve the clarity and assure
a constant supply of fresh ice. As ice is
accumulated in the bin, the ice production
rate will overcome the ice melt and the
storage bin will fill to capacity.
Operation of Ice Machine 13
New Sounds
The ice machine will make sounds that are different than your household refrigerator.
Because these sounds are new to you they may be of concern but are most likely
normal. The ice production process will make noises that are not typical in a refrigeration
product, ice falling onto hard surfaces, water cascading across the evaporator plate, and
valves opening and closing. Following are some of the sounds that you may hear:
• A rattling noise which could be water flowing through the water line.
• A splashing sound when water is flowing over the evaporator plate and into the
water reservoir.
• A "thud" when the ice slab is released from the evaporator plate and slides onto the
grid cutter.
• A gurgling sound which is refrigerant flowing in the ice machine.
• An air noise from the condenser fan.

Special Considerations
•
•
•
•
For best performance, keep the unit
out of direct sunlight.
Turn the unit OFF and dispose of any
ice cubes if the unit will not be used
for 5 days or more. Prop door open
to allow for air circulation and prevent
mold and mildew.
If the ambient temperature is expected
to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all
water from the unit to prevent freezing
damage not covered by the warranty.
High ambient temperatures, 100°F
(38°C) or higher, will reduce the unit’s
ability to reach low temperatures and
may also reduce the ice production rate.

Remedy
This is a normal sound as water
is added once every ice making
cycle.
Make sure water is getting to
the ice machine. Also check to
make sure the drain plug is fully
seated in the water reservoir.
First check to see if the ice
machine is level. If the ice
machine is level run a cleaning
cycle.
Check the control to be sure it
is in the “ICE” position.
Make sure nothing is restricting
the water supply such as a
closed water valve or a blown
fuse or tripped circuit breaker,
or a kinked supply line, or low
water pressure.
A typical ice production cycle
can take up to 1½ hours. Initial
start up cycles can take longer.
Check the ice machine after 24
hours for ice accumulation in
the bin.
Check that the reservoir drain
plug is properly seated.
Run a cleaning cycle to clean
the ice machine. Also check
any filters to make sure they are
not restricted.
Make sure the grille in the front
of the ice machine is open for
proper air circulation.
Move the ice machine to
an area where the ambient
temperature is below 90°F
(32°C). The ice machine should
not be placed next to a heat
source such as an oven. Check
the cold water connection.
If there is scale build up on the
evaporator, the ice machine
needs to be cleaned. See

Plumbing Problems
Possible Cause
Are there clumps of ice
in the bin?
•
•
•
•
Remedy
If the ice isn’t used on a regular
basis it will melt and form
into clumps. Break up the ice
clumps with the ice scoop.
Ice is slowly melting in the ice
bin which will affect the size
of the cubes. This is normal.
When the ice bin needs to be
replenished, cubes will return to
the regular size.
Clean the evaporator. See
“Cleaning the Ice Machine”.
Check the water line to the ice
machine to make sure there are
no restrictions or kinks in the
line. Check all filters to make
sure they are not restricted.
Check that the water flows
evenly out of the distributor
tube, if not, clean the ice
machine. See “Cleaning the Ice
Machine”.
Move the ice machine to align
the drain.
Check that there are no kinks
or restrictions in the drain lines;
this can cause water to back
up in the ice bin. Check that
foreign material is not blocking
the ice bin drain located at
the right rear corner of the ice
bin. Check the drain pump
discharge and vent line or any
restrictions or kinks. Check that
the drain pump is level.
28 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting the Drain Pump
If the drain pump reservoir (not the ice machine bin) reaches overfill condition, the power
to the ice machine will be shut off.
If the ice machine is not working, check the following:
•
•
•
•
Make sure there is power at the receptacle.
Make sure the ice machine is turned on.
Make sure the ice bin is not full.
Then check the drain pump.
The pump does not run:
•
•
•
•
Make sure the pump is plugged in and there is power to the receptacle.
Check the inlet to the drain pump for debris and clean as needed. Remove clamps
and inlet tube from drain pump to check for and remove debris.
Make certain the vent line is free of kinks/sharp bends or restrictions.
Make certain there is enough water to activate the drain pump. It will take at least
one (1) quart (.95 liters)of water to activate the drain pump.
The pump runs, but no water is pumped out:
•
•
•
Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.
Check the discharge line to make certain there are no restrictions.
Make sure that the discharge tubing has not exceeded the maximum lift of eight
(8) feet (2.44 meters) and the horizontal run is not greater than twenty (20) feet (6.1
meters).
The pump runs and then quickly turns off repeatedly:
•
•
Check to make certain the drain pump is level.
Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.
The ice machine is running but not producing ice:
•
Check to make sure water is not backing up in the ice bin.
