Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances (see figure below). If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the respon-sibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power supply. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed.
NOTE
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-sance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equip-ment that must run unattended for long periods of time, un-less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

“service loop” which will allow the appliance to be pulled out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. Connect the copper tubing to the “top side” of a cold water pipe to prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment. 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
IMPORTANT: 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.
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.

The water containing the dissolved minerals is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
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 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 when the ice supply is low or full and starts or stops the ice making process accordingly.
Ice Production
In normal mode the ice machine will produce up to 39 pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when installed in a 72°F ambient with a 55°F water supply. In
“ECO” mode (see page 16) the ice machine will produce up to 29 pounds (13.2 kg) of clear ice in the 24 hour period.
