Connecting the Drain
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these 
steps to properly place the ice maker:
1. Plug ice maker into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Style 1 - For gravity drain system, push the ice maker into 
position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over 
the PVC drain reducer. See “Gravity Drain System” earlier in 
this section. Style 2 - For drain pump system connect the 
drain pump outlet hose to the drain. See “Drain Pump 
System” earlier in this section.
3. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See  
“Leveling.”
4. If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet 
to the floor with an approved caulking compound after all 
water and electrical connections have been made.
Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to 
you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be 
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard 
surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds 
seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the 
kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be 
making them.
You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to 
fill the water reservoir for each cycle.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or 
the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also 
make noises.
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high 
pitched sound.
Water running over the evaporator plate may make a 
splashing sound.
Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir 
may make a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to 
the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the 
condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear a “thud” when the ice 
sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.
When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water 
running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a 
rinse cycle before it begins to make ice. 
ICE MAKER USE
How Your Ice Maker Works
When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill and the 
system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing 
process takes about 5 minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will cycle at 
preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located in the ice 
storage bin will monitor the ice levels. 
IMPORTANT:
If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be sure to 
set the ice maker control to OFF.
The ice maker 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.
The Ice Making Process
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the 
water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected. 
This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low mineral content. 
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is 
released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the 
sheet into individual cubes.
3. The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after 
each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
