it properly.

l is used only for the job it was designed to

perform.

l is properly maintained.

Using your ice maker

How the ice maker works...

1. Water is constantly circulated over a freez-

ing plate. As the water freezes into ice the min-

erals in the water are rejected. This produces a

clear sheet of ice with a low mineral content

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.

bin is full the ice maker shuts off automatically

and restarts when more ice is needed.

2. When the desired thickness is reached, the

ice sheet is released and slides on to a cutter

grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual

cubes.

Setting the controls...

Select ice thickness. The ice maker has

been pre-set to produce ice approximately Yz”

thick, while operating in a room ambient of

70°F (21°C).

Operation in different ambient temperatures

may require readjusting the control toward

“THICK” or “THIN;’

Best operation will be obtained with ice Yz”to

5/s”thick.

If operating in a warm room ambient (above

90°F [32”C]) DO NOT set control to maximum

thickness or the unit may malfunction.

2. To start the normal ice making cycle, turn

the Cycle Control Knob to “ON:’

3. To stop ice maker operation, turn Cycle

Control Knob to “OFF.”

The “CLEAN” setting is used whenever solutions

are circulated through the ice maker for clean-

ing. Only the water pump operates at this

setting.

Changing the bin door panel

You can easily change the color of the front

panel on the storage bin door. Six colors are

available: Black, Almond, Harvest Gold, White,

Toast and Platinum.

To change panel:

_ -

Open the storage bin door. Remove the

two screws on the top of the door, which

hold the handle.

2. Loosen the screws in both of the side trim

pieces.

3. Remove the handle and the handle

insert.

4. Carefully slide the panels out. You will find

three panels with six colors.

5. Choose the color you want to show and

carefully slide the panels back into the

door. NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the

panels as they are inserted.

6. Replace the handle insert and tighten

the screws in both side trim pieces. Replace

the handle and the screws.

Note: You can make a decorative wood front to match existing cabinets. The panel should

be Y4”(6 mm) thick and 17” x ll%” (433 mm x 286 mm). Remove the color panels and break off

the ribs on the door insulation to allow for wood thickness.

Cleaning and caring for your ice maker

Periodically inspect and clean the ice

maker to keep it operating at peak efficiency

and to prevent premature failure of system

components.

Both the ice making system and the air cooled

condenser need to be cleaned regularly.

The minerals rejected from the circulating

water during the freezing cycle will eventually

form a hard scaly deposit in the water system

which prevents a rapid release of the ice from

the freezing plate.

Cleaning exterior surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and

gaskets with warm water and mild soap or

detergent. Rinse and dry. Regular use of

a good household appliance cleaner and

wax will help protect the finish.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on

enamel surfaces as they may scratch the

finish.

Cleaning the condenser

Clean the ice and water system periodically

to remove mineral scale build-up. Frequency

of cleaning depends on water hardness.

With sofi water, cleaning may not be required

for several years. With hard water (15to 20

grains/gal.), cleaning may be required as

frequently as every six months.

A dirty or clogged condenser:

0 prevents proper air flow.

l reduces ice making capacity.

l causes higher than recommended

operating temperatures which may lead

to component failure.

Disconnect electrical power supply to the 1 III III

macnlne and place the Cycle Control Knob in

the “OFF” position.

4. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser fins

\ and the unit compartment with a brush attach-

CREW ment attached to a vacuum cleaner.

2. Remove the two screws from the bottom of

the grilled front panel.

3. Pull forward and down to remove the panel.

CAUTION:

Condenser fins can bend

easily. Use care when vacuuming the con -

denser to keep from bendlng the fins.

5. Replace the grilled front panel and screws.

6. Plug unit in and place the Cycle Control

Knob in the “ON” position.

1. Place the Cycle Control Knob in the “OFF”

position.

2. Remove the two thumb screws and slide the

ice cutter grid forward, out of the two slots near

the water pan.

3. Unplug the electrical harness.

CAUTION:

Any ice on the grid should

be melted under running warm water.

grid may stretch and damage grid wires.

4. Remove all ice from the storage bin and the

freezing plate.

5. Drain the water pan by removing the drain

plug and then replace the plug.

*Accepted by the National Sanltatlon Foundation

6. Pour YZgallon (1.9 L) of hot tap water into the

water pan and turn the Cycle Control Knob to

“CLEAN:’ This warms up the system to mal

cleaning solution more effective. Let circulate

for five minutes. While tap water is circulating,

prepare cleaning solution. Mix:

6 oz. (170 g) powdered citric,

or phosphoric acid into

Yzgallon (1.9 L) hot water

(Citric and phosphoric acid crystals are

available from many pharmacies or scientific

supply houses.)

Commercial ice machine cleaners (liquid) are

also available from your dealer or refrigeration

parts supply stores. Mix according to instruc-

tions on label (total quantity YZgallon [I.9 L]).

7. Turn Cycle Control Knob to “OFF” and drain

the water pan. (See step 5.)

8. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “CLEAN” and

slowly pour the hot cleaning solution into the

water pan. (If solution foams while pouring. wait

until foaming stops.] Then add the balance of

the solution.

Allow solution to circulate until the scale has

dissolved (15 to 20 minutes). Severe scale build-

up may require repeated cleaning with a fresh

quantity of cleaning solution.

To clean scale off the side flanges of the freez-

ing plate, use rubber gloves and scrub with a

plastic scrubber or non-soap filled stainless

steel pad dipped in cleaning solution.

9. Keep rubber gloves on to drain the cleaning

solution. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF”

and drain the water pan. (See step 5.)

10. Replace the plug and add YZgallon (1.9 L)

of fresh water, Set Cycle Control Knob on

“CLEAN:’ circulate five minutes and drain.

Repeat rinsing process.

Cleaning the interior components

1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF” and

disconnect the electrical power supply to the

machine. Open the storage bin door and

remove any ice that is in the bin,

2. Remove ice retainer baffle by flexing it and

then slide it off the studs.

3. Remove the ice cutter grid by unscrewing

the two thumb screws, slidino the arid forward

and unplugging the electrical wire harness

DISTRIBUTOR

6. Remove the water distributor from the

freezing plate. It is held in place by rubber end

caps. Remove the inlet hose and clean all

water distributor holes and the small orifice in

the inlet side of the distributor. When replacing

the distributor, make sure the end caps are

located in the evaporator flange detents and

that the water distributor holes face down.

7. Wash the interior components (ice

retainer baffle, cutter grid, water pan, inlet

hose and water distributor] and the storage

bin, door gasket and ice scoop with mild

soap or detergent and warm water. Rinse in

clean water. These components should also

be cleaned in a solution of ‘/4oz. (8 ml] of

chlorine bleach with 1gallon (3.8 L)warm

water.

DO NOT WASH PLASTIC PARTS IN

DISHWASHER.

They cannot withstand temperatures above

145°F (63°C).

8. Replace the interior components: water

distributor, inlet hose, water pan, cutter grid

and ice retainer baffle.

9. Check the following:

Hose from water valve is in water pan.

Rubber drain plug is in water pan.

Water distributor is seated and holes are

facing down.

Hose is reconnected to pump and water

distributor.

Hose from water pan is inserted into

storage bin drain opening.

10. Reconnect electrical harness, slide cutter

grid into place and tighten the thumb screws.

5. Remove the hose from the water pump.

Filtering and treating water

In most areas it will be beneficial to filter or

treat the water being supplied to the ice

machine. It can improve the reliability of the

machine, reduce water system maintenance

and produce the best quality of ice.

The installation of a polyphosphate feeder will

generally reduce scale build-up and the ice

machine will require less frequent cleaning.

Municipal water systems are generally treated

with chlorine to maintain a safe potable water

supply. Activated carbon filters will sufficiently

remove the residual chlorine from the water to

reduce surface staining of stainless steel mate-

rials in the ice machine

For information on filtering and treating the

water, see the dealer from whom you pur-

chased your ice maker or your WHIRLPOOL

Franchised TECH-CARE” service company.

To shut down the ice maker:

Vacation and moving care

1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF.”

2. Remove all ice from storage bin.

3. Shut off the water supply.

4. Remove two screws from base of front grille,

then remove front grille.

OUTLE;\I! 1 INLET

5. Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines to wate

valve. Allow these lines to drain and then

reconnect to the valve.

6. Replace front grille and screws.

7. Remove water from drain lines and

drain water pan if the unit will be subjected

to freezing temperatures during shut down.

8. Before using again, clean the ice maker

and storage bin.

Note: All components of the ice maker are permanently lubricated at the factory. They shou!d

not require any additional oiling throughout the normal life of the machine.

If you need service or assistance, we suggest

you follow these four steps:

1. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little

things you can find and fix yourself without

tools of any kind.

Unit does not run:

Cycle Control Knob must be in the “ON”

position.

Check to see that power cord is plugged in.

Check for blown fuse or tripped circuit

breaker in electrical supply to machine.

Room temperature must be above 55°F.

(13°C). Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense

cold room temperature and shut off even

though bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not

restart once it does shut off.

Unit runs but produces no ice:

Cycle Control Knob must be in the “ON”

position.

Check water supply to make sure it is open

If ice machine is operated at an elevation of

2,000 feet or more above sea level, both the

bin thermostat and ice thickness thermostat

need to be recalibrated. See Installation

Instructions.

Unit runs but produces very little ice:

Room temperature may be extremely high,

over 90°F.(32°C). In this case, it is normal for

ice production to be low.

. Dirt or lint may be blocking the air flow

through the finned condenser. Condenser

needs to be cleaned.

Check to see if the unit has a scale build-up

in water and freezing system. Clean, if

necessa rv

Grid is not cutting ice sheets:

Check the grid harness plug to make sure the

connection is secure.

Taste in ice cubes:

There may be an unusually high mineral

content in water supply. Water may need to

be filtered or treated.

Do not store any foods In the ice bin.

Packaging material not all removed.
