Setup
Unpacking
Carefully remove the ice machine from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Retain all packaging materials for inspection if damage is found.
Placement
Select a location that is level, stable, and capable of supporting the weight of the ice machine and its ice bin when full. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper ventilation. The unit features dual exhaust top/side air discharge, allowing flexibility in placement. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Dimensions: 22.25" W x 24.25" D x 21.25" H
- Allow sufficient space for air circulation around the condenser.

Electrical and Plumbing Connections
All electrical and plumbing connections must comply with local and national codes. It is recommended that a licensed electrician and plumber perform these connections. Ensure the power supply matches the machine's requirements (voltage, amperage) and that a dedicated circuit is used. Connect to a potable water supply with appropriate pressure and filtration.
Operating Instructions
Initial Startup
- After all connections are secure, open the water supply valve.
- Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet.
- The machine will initiate a self-check and begin the ice-making cycle.
Ice Production Cycle
The Ice-O-Matic CIM0320FA automatically produces full-size cube ice. Water flows over a cold evaporator plate, freezing into cubes. Once the cubes reach the desired thickness, they are harvested and drop into the ice bin (sold separately).

Troubleshooting
This section provides basic troubleshooting steps for common issues. For more complex problems, consult a qualified service technician.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No ice production | No power, water supply off, clogged filter, high ambient temperature. | Check power connection, ensure water supply is open, inspect/replace water filter, ensure proper ventilation. |
| Low ice production | Dirty condenser, restricted airflow, low water pressure, high water temperature. | Clean condenser, ensure adequate clearance, check water pressure, verify water temperature. |
| Unusual noise | Loose components, motor issue, fan obstruction. | Inspect for loose parts, clear any obstructions, contact service if noise persists. |
| LED status display error | Specific system fault. | Note the error code and consult the full service manual or contact customer support. |
