OPERATION, CARE, AND CLEANING OF YOUR ICE MACHINE
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.
If the water supply is turned off to the ice machine be sure to set
the selector switch to the “OFF” position.
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 a concern but are most likely normal. Ice falling
onto hard surfaces and water cascading across the evaporator
will make sounds seem louder than they actually are. Following
are some of the sounds that you may hear:
A buzzing sound will be heard when the water valve opens to
fill the water reservoir.
You may hear a rattling noise which could be water flowing
through the water line.
A splashing sound may be heard when water is flowing over
the evaporator plate and into the water reservoir.
When the ice slab is released from the evaporator plate you
may hear a “thud” as it slides onto the grid cutter.
At the end of an ice making cycle you may hear a gurgling
sound which is refrigerant flowing in the ice machine.
When the condenser fan turns on you might hear the air circu-
lating over the condenser.
Ice Production
Care of the Ice Machine
1. Avoid leaning on the cabinet door. You may bend the door
hinge or tip the ice machine.
2. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming or mopping
near the front of the ice machine. Damage to the grille and/
or switch can occur.
3. Periodically clean the inside of the ice machine components
and inside of the ice machine.
4. If your ice machine has either a stainless steel door and/or
cabinet, to keep it looking its best, we recommend periodi-
cally applying a stainless steel cleaner and a non-abrasive
stainless steel polish. This is especially important for outdoor
applications and locations near salt-water environments.
Cleaning the Ice Machine
This build-up will need to be removed in the ice machine and
stick to the ice machine’s parts over time. This build-up must be
removed for proper ice production, ice quality, and ice machine
life. Your ice machine is equipped with a cleaning mode that will
help in cleaning out these impurities.
The impurities will need to be cleaned of this build-up regularly
(at the very least, annually), depending on use and water hard-
ness. Use a nickel safe ice machine cleaner, including but not lim-
ited to the following brands. Ice machine cleaners are available
at most appliance retailers or through the cleaner manufacturers
web site.
Kirby’s Certified ice machine cleaner, 100% nickel safe
Nu-Calgon nickel safe ice machine cleaner
Franklin Machine Products nickel safe ice machine cleaner
To clean the ice machine:
1. Switch the selector switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove all the ice from the bin.
3. Remove the front panel by removing the 2 screws. (See
Figure 19).

Your unit will produce ~ 30lbs of ice in a 24-hour period when
installed in a 70°F ambient with a 55°F water supply.
“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 ~30lbs of ice at the above tem-
perature conditions, but when starting with an empty ice storage
bin, the storage bin may only accumulate ~ 18lbs of ice. By de-
sign, 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 ac-
cumulated in the bin, the ice production rate will overcome the
ice melt and the storage bin will fill to capacity.
