INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
¾
BEFORE USING YOUR ICE MAKER  
REMOVE THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR PACKAGING MATERIAL.  
CHECK TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PARTS:  
1 ICE BUCKET  
1 PLASTIC SCOOP  
25 FT. HOSE  
1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL  
BEFORE CONNECTING THE ICE MAKER TO THE POWER SOURCE, LET IT STAND UPRIGHT  
FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 HOURS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A MALFUNCTION  
IN THE COOLING SYSTEM FROM HANDLING DURING TRANSPORTATION.  
CLEAN THE INTERIOR SURFACE WITH LUKEWARM WATER USING A SOFT CLOTH.  
¾
INSTALLATION OF YOUR ICE MAKER  
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BE RECESSED OR BUILT-IN (FULLY RECESSED).  
PLACE YOUR ICE MAKER ON A HARD AND LEVEL FLOOR THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO  
SUPPORT THE ICE MAKER WHEN IT IS FULLY LOADED. REMEMBER THAT THE UNIT WILL  
BE SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER ONCE IT IS FULLY LOADED. TO LEVEL YOUR ICE MAKER,  
ADJUST THE LEG AT THE FRONT OF THE ICE MAKER.  
PLACE THE ICE MAKER AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SOURCES OF HEAT (STOVE,  
HEATER, RADIATOR, ETC.). DIRECT SUNLIGHT MAY AFFECT THE ACRYLIC COATING AND  
HEAT SOURCES MAY INCREASE ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION. EXTREME COLD AMBIENT  
TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ICE MAKER NOT TO PERFORM PROPERLY.  
AVOID LOCATING THE ICE MAKER IN DAMP AND HUMID AREAS. TOO MUCH HUMIDITY IN  
THE AIR WILL CAUSE FROST TO FORM QUICKLY ON THE EVAPORATOR REQUIRING MORE  
FREQUENT DEFROSTING OF THE ICE MAKER.  
PLUG THE ICE MAKER INTO AN EXCLUSIVE PROPERLY INSTALLED-GROUNDED WALL  
OUTLET. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)  
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING POWER AND OR  
GROUNDING SHOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARD A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.  
¾
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
aWARNINGa  
IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL  
SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. ORDER A  
REPLACEMENT FROM YOUR WHYNTER RETAILER AND HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN  
REPLACE THE POWER CORD  
THIS ICE MAKER SHOULD BE PROPERLY GROUNDED FOR YOUR SAFETY. THE POWER  
CORD OF THIS ICE MAKER IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG PLUG WHICH IS USED  
WITH STANDARD THREE PRONG WALL OUTLETS TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF  
ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION.  
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUND PRONG  
FROM THE POWER CORD SUPPLIED.  
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT POWER TO THE UNIT.  
NEVER USE A TWO-PRONG GROUNDING ADAPTER.  
WHERE A TWO-PRONG WALL RECEPTACLE IS ENCOUNTERED, CONTACT A QUALIFIED  
ELECTRICIAN TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A 3-PRONG RECEPTACLE IN ACCORDANCE  
WITH APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES.  
THIS ICE MAKER REQUIRES A STANDARD 115/120 VOLTS A.C.~/60HZ ELECTRICAL OUTLET  
WITH THREE-PRONG GROUND.  
THE CORD SHOULD BE SECURED BEHIND THE ICE MAKER AND NOT LEFT EXPOSED OR  
DANGLING TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY.

EXTENSION CORD  
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS  
APPLIANCE. HOWEVER, IF YOU MUST USE AN EXTENSION CORD IT IS ABSOLUTELY  
NECESSARY THAT IT BE A UL/CUL-LISTED, 3-WIRE GROUNDING TYPE APPLIANCE  
EXTENSION CORD HAVING A GROUNDING TYPE PLUG AND OUTLET AND THAT THE  
ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE CORD BE 115 VOLTS AND AT LEAST 10 AMPERES.  
¾
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY  
aWARNINGa  
IMPROPER WATER LINE CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN FLOODING  
YOU MUST USE A LICENSED PLUMBER AND  
REVIEW STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION  
ALL THE REQUIRED OR CUSTOMIZED HARDWARE IS NOT PROVIDED FOR INSTALLATION  
SO IT IS NECESSARY TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL LICENSED PLUMBER TO COMPLETE THE  
INSTALLATION.  
CONNECT TUBING (SUPPLIED WITH UNIT) TO THE NEAREST COLD WATER SOURCE.  
CONNECT SUFFICIENT TUBING TO THE UNIT TO ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO BE MOVED  
FREELY FOR CLEANING AND SERVICE. ALSO, MAKE SURE THAT THE TUBING IS NOT  
CRIMPED OR DAMAGED DURING TRANSPORTATION.  
POSITION UNIT TO ALLOW FREE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE FRONT GRILL (SEE SKETCH 1).  
WIPE INSIDE OF UNIT AND ICE BUCKET WITH A DAMP CLOTH.  
SKETCH 1  
OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER  
¾
INITIAL START-UP OPERATION  
1. PLUG THE APPLIANCE INTO A 115/120V POLARIZED AND GROUNDED WALL ELECTRICAL  
OUTLET.  
2. PLACE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION.  
3. MAKE SURE THE WATER SUPPLY IS ON. AS SOON AS THE INNER MECHANISM REACHES  
THE PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE ICEMAKER MECHANISM WILL FILL THE MOLD WITH  
WATER.  
4. THE FIRST CUBES MAY BE SMALL BECAUSE OF AIR IN THE WATER LINE. LATER CUBES  
WILL BE OF STANDARD CRESCENT TYPE SIZE.  
5. APPROXIMATE TIME FOR THE FIRST CYCLE IS BETWEEN 30-40 MINUTES.  
6. EACH CYCLE APPROXIMATELY WILL TAKE 5 OZS OF WATER SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULL  
TRAY, AFTER 11 HOURS.  
IMPORTANT: THROW AWAY ALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF  
OPERATION.  
WHEN THE ICE BUCKET IS FULL, THE ICE MAKING MECHANISM WILL  
AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WHEN ICE CUBES ARE MELTED, THE ICE  
MAKING MECHANISM WILL START AGAIN .  
ICE DELIVERY MAY BE INTERRUPTED BY RAISING THE METAL ARM INTO  
AN UPRIGHT POSITION (SEE SKETCH 2)  
IF THE ICEMAKER IS NOT USED REGULARLY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT  
THE ICE BUCKET BE EMPTIED PERIODICALLY TO INSURE FRESH ICE.  
SKETCH 2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
SOMETIMES THE CUBES MAY APPEAR CLOUDY. THIS IS DUE TO THE RAPID FREEZING OF  
THE ICE CUBE. THIS IS TRAPPED AIR IN THE WATER AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE TASTE  
AND QUALITY OF THE ICE.  
THE FRONT GRILL SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF DUST AND LINT TO ALLOW FREE AIRFLOW.  
THIS UNIT SHOULD BE DEFROSTED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 4-6 WEEKS OR WHEN FROST  
ON THE ICE MAKER WALLS IS EXCESSIVE OR ¼” THICK. TO DEFROST, TURN THE UNIT OFF,  
REMOVE CUBES AND KEEP DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO INCHES.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
¾
CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER  
TURN THE SWITCH CONTROL TO "OFF", UNPLUG THE ICE MAKER AND REMOVE ICE  
BUCKET.  
WASH THE INSIDE WITH A WARM WATER AND BAKING SODA SOLUTION. THE SOLUTION  
SHOULD BE ABOUT 2 TABLESPOONS OF BAKING SODA TO A QUART OF WATER.  
WASH THE BUCKET WITH A MILD DETERGENT SOLUTION.  
THE OUTSIDE OF THE ICE MAKER SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH MILD DETERGENT AND  
WARM WATER.
