Rating specification of EWBH6 compact ice makers:

BEFORE USING YOUR ICE MAKERS

• REMOVE THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR PACKING.
• VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PARTS:
• 1 ICE BUCKET
• 1 PLASTIC SCOOP
• 1 HOSE, 25 FT.
• 1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
• BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING YOUR NEW ICE MAKERS, LET IT STAND UPRIGHT FOR A MINIMUM OF 4 HOURS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A COOLING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION FROM IMPROPER HANDLING DURING TRANSPORTATION.
• CLEAN THE INTERIOR SURFACE WITH LUKEWARM WATER USING A SOFT CLOTH.

INSTALLING YOUR ICE MAKERS

THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO EXHAUST HOT AIR THROUGH THE FRONT VENT. THIS ALLOWS FOR INSTALLATION IN A RECESSED OR BUILT-IN APPLICATION, IF DESIRED.

THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BE EITHER FREE-STANDING OR BUILT-IN (FULLY RECESSED). IF FREE STANDING, THE UNIT SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 4” OF CLEARANCE AT BOTH SIDES, AT THE TOP AND AT THE BACK TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE VENTILATION. IF IT IS BUILT-IN, LEAVE AT LEAST 3/16" AT BOTH SIDES, 1/16" AT THE TOP AND 2" AT THE REAR. BE SURE THAT AIRFLOW UNDER THE APPLIANCE IS NOT BLOCKED.

PLACE YOUR ICE MAKERS ON A LEVEL SURFACE THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE ICE MAKERS WHEN IT IS FULLY LOADED. REMEMBER THAT THE UNIT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER ONCE IT IS OPERATIONAL AND FULLY LOADED. LEVEL YOUR ICE MAKERS BY ADJUSTING THE LEGS AT THE FRONT OF THE ICE MAKERS.

LOCATE THE ICE MAKERS AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND OTHER HEAT SOURCES (STOVE, HEATER, RADIATOR, ETC.). DIRECT SUNLIGHT MAY AFFECT THE FINISH. HEAT SOURCES MAY INCREASE ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION. EXTREMELY COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE THE ICE MAKERS TO MALFUNCTION. THIS ICE MAKERS IS DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION AND USE INDOORS IN CONTROLLED AMBIENT CONDITIONS.

AVOID LOCATING THE ICE MAKERS IN MOIST/HUMID AREAS. EXCESS MOISTURE IN THE AIR MAY CAUSE FROST TO FORM QUICKLY ON THE EVAPORATOR AND CABINET, REQUIRING FREQUENT DEFROSTING. THE ICE MAY ALSO STICK TOGETHER.

PLUG THE ICE MAKERS INTO A DEDICATED, PROPERLY INSTALLED GROUNDED WALL OUTLET. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER PLUG. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING POWER AND/OR GROUNDING SHOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARD A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN.

• THIS ICE MAKERS SHOULD BE PROPERLY GROUNDED FOR YOUR SAFETY. THE POWER CORD OF THIS ICE MAKERS IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG PLUG WHICH MATES WITH STANDARD THREE-PRONG WALL OUTLETS TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE SUPPLIED POWER CORD.
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT POWER TO THE UNIT.
• DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG GROUNDING ADAPTER.
• IF YOU ONLY HAVE A TWO-PRONG WALL RECEPTACLE, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A GROUNDED 3-PRONG RECEPTACLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES.
• THIS ICE MAKERS REQUIRES A STANDARD 220-240 VOLTS A.C. 50HZ GROUNDED THREE-PRONG ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
• THE CORD SHOULD BE SECURED BEHIND THE ICE MAKERS AND NOT LEFT EXPOSED OR LOOSE.

WARNING: IMPROPER WATER LINE CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN FLOODING. YOU MUST USE A LICENSED PLUMBER.

ALL THE NECESSARY HARDWARE IS NOT PROVIDED (AS THE PLUMBING FIXTURES AT THE INSTALLATION POINT MAY DIFFER) 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. HAVE SUFFICIENT TUBING TO ALLOW UNIT TO BE MOVED FREELY FOR CLEANING AND SERVICE. ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THE TUBING IS NOT PINCHED OR DAMAGED DURING TRANSPORTATION AND/OR INSTALLATION.

POSITION UNIT TO ALLOW AIRFLOW THROUGH THE FRONT GRILL (SEE FIGURE 1).

WIPE THE INSIDE OF UNIT AND ICE BUCKET WITH A DAMP CLOTH.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING OF YOUR ICE MAKERS

THIS ICE MAKERS IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE DOOR TO BE OPENED FROM EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE. THE UNIT IS DELIVERED TO YOU WITH THE DOOR OPENING FROM THE LEFT SIDE (HINGED ON THE RIGHT). PLEASE CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON REVERSING THE DOOR SWING.

OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKERS

INITIAL START-UP OPERATION

1. A LICENCED PLUMBER MUST PROPERLY INSTALL THE UNIT.
2. MAKE SURE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION.
3. PLUG THE APPLIANCE INTO A 115V POLARIZED AND GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
4. TURN THE ON-OFF SWITCH TO THE “ON” POSITION.
5. MAKE SURE THE METAL LEVER INSIDE IS PUSHED DOWN INTO THE ON POSITION.
6. MAKE SURE THE WATER SUPPLY IS ON. AS SOON AS THE INNER MECHANISM REACHES THE PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE ICEMAKER WILL BEGIN TO FILL WITH WATER.
7. THE FIRST CUBES MAY BE SMALL DUE TO AIR IN THE WATER LINE. LATER CUBES WILL BE OF STANDARD CRESCENT MOON SHAPE AND SIZE.
8. THE APPROXIMATE TIME FOR THE FIRST CYCLE IS BETWEEN 50-60 MINUTES.
9. EACH CYCLE WILL CONSUME ABOUT 4 FL. OZ. OF WATER SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULL TRAY AFTER 8 HOURS.

IMPORTANT: DISCARD 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. THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO COOL AND MAINTAIN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE UNIT.
• THE ICE MAKING FUNCTION MAY BE TEMPORARILY STOPPED BY RAISING THE METAL ARM TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION. (SEE FIGURE 2)
• IF THE ICEMAKER IS NOT USED REGULARLY, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE ICE BUCKET BE EMPTIED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE FRESH ICE.
• THE CUBES MAY APPEAR WHITE OR CLOUDY. THIS IS NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN. THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE TASTE OR SMELL OF THE ICE.
• THE FRONT GRILL SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF DUST AND LINT TO PERMIT UNRESTRICTED AIRFLOW.
• THIS UNIT SHOULD BE DEFROSTED ABOUT EVERY 4-6 WEEKS OR WHEN FROST ON THE ICE MAKERS WALLS IS EXCESSIVE (1/4" OR THICKER). TO DEFROST, TURN THE UNIT OFF, REMOVE/DISCARD THE EXISTING CUBES AND KEEP DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO INCHES. YOU MAY WANT TO PLACE A TOWEL UNDERNEATH THE OPEN DOOR TO SOAK UP ANY WATER.
• DO NOT SCRAPE OFF THE FROST WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT A PLASTIC SCRAPER.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: FAILURE TO UNPLUG THE ICE MAKERS PRIOR TO CLEANING, MOVING, OR SERVICING COULD RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY.

CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKERS

• TURN THE SWITCH CONTROL TO THE "OFF" POSITION, UNPLUG THE ICE MAKERS AND REMOVE THE BUCKET.
• WASH THE INSIDE WITH A WARM WATER AND BAKING SODA SOLUTION. THE SOLUTION SHOULD CONSIST OF ABOUT 2 TABLESPOONS OF BAKING SODA TO A QUART OF WATER.
• WASH THE BUCKET WITH A MILD DETERGENT SOLUTION.
• THE OUTSIDE OF THE ICE MAKERS SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH MILD DETERGENT AND WARM WATER.
• THE STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH STAINLESS STEEL CLEANER.
• THE CONDENSER COILS SHOULD BE VACUUMED WHEN THEY ARE DUSTY OR DIRTY.
• NOTE: PLACING THE ICE BUCKET IN THE DISHWASHER MAY CAUSE DISTORTION OF THE ICE BUCKET.

POWER FAILURE

MOST POWER FAILURES ARE CORRECTED WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR ICE MAKERS IF YOU MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE DOOR IS OPENED. IF THE POWER IS GOING TO BE OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, YOU SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONARY STEPS TO ENSURE WATER FROM THE DEFROSTING DOES NOT LEAK OUT.

VACATION TIME/STORAGE

1. SHUT OFF THE WATER SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WATER VALVE.
2. DISCONNECT THE WATER SUPPLY LINE FROM THE VALVE.
3. ALLOW THE UNIT TO RUN FOR AN HOUR OR TWO UNTIL ALL REMAINING ICE CUBES HAVE BEEN EJECTED AND ALL WATER HAS CYCLED THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND HAS BEEN MADE INTO ICE CUBES.
4. DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE MAIN POWER SOURCE.
5. DRY OUT EXCESS WATER FROM THE ICE MAKERS ASSEMBLY.
6. LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO INCHES.

MOVING YOUR ICE MAKERS

• SECURELY TAPE DOWN ALL LOOSE ITEMS INSIDE YOUR ICE MAKERS.
• TURN THE LEVELING SCREWS UP TO THE BASE TO AVOID DAMAGE.
• TAPE THE DOOR SHUT.
• MAKE SURE THE ICE MAKERS STAYS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION DURING TRANSPORTATION.

ENERGY SAVING TIP

THE ICE MAKERS SHOULD BE LOCATED IN THE COOLEST AREA OF THE ROOM, AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES AND OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

ICE CUBE QUANTITY AND CYCLE TIME

PLEASE USE THE INFORMATION BELOW TO DETERMINE THE CYCLE TIMES FOR YOUR ICE MAKERS PRIOR TO CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Your ICE MAKERS will make the first batch of ice in approximately 2 hours from the time you first turn in on. It will start consistently making ice every 40~50 minutes after first batch. The water pump delay is to allow the machine to reach a low enough temperature to maintain ice structure.
