Tramontina Ice Maker Use & Care Instructions

Important Initial Setup Warning

STOP! BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!

Do not plug the Ice Maker into a power outlet until it has been resting in its upright position for at least two (2) hours. If the Ice Maker has been laid on its side, placed upside down or tilted more than 45° during moving or transport, it is extremely important to allow the refrigerant and compressor oil to separate and settle so the compressor operates properly. Failure to do so will cause severe mechanical problems with the appliance's motor/compressor, and will void the warranty.

This appliance will not preserve ice. Water from melted ice continuously recycles into new ice cubes. Performance varies pending conditions of use and ambient temperature. Maximum ice production is based on 24 hour operation.

Important Safeguards

Your safety and the safety of others is very important. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol: ⚠️

If you don't immediately follow the instructions for the DANGER or WARNING messages, you may be at risk for serious injury or death.

Technical Parameters

Operating Instructions

Before Using the Ice Maker

• Read this instruction guide, taking special note of the "Important Safeguards" & "Safety Instructions" sections.

Unpacking & Preparing the Ice Maker

• Open the Ice Maker cover, and carefully remove the tape securing the ice shovel, ice bin and scoop.
• Wipe the water reservoir with a soft damp cloth.
• Hand-wash the ice bin and scoop with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Ensure the water drain plug (located underneath the front of the Ice Maker) is closed.
• Place the Ice Maker on a level counter top away from direct sunlight or other heat sources (such as a stove, oven, furnace or radiator). Position the Ice Maker to allow a minimum of four inches between the appliance and the wall(s) while providing access to a power outlet.
• Once the Ice Maker is positioned, allow at least two (2) hours for the refrigerant fluid and compressor oil to separate and settle before plugging in the appliance.

IMPORTANT: This product features color tinted stainless steel suitable for indoor use only. Color may fade if exposed to direct sunlight. Color fading is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty (Model #80901/106 Red, 80901/107 Teal, 80901/108 Bronze).

Connecting & Using the Ice Maker

WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, PLEASE CALL TRAMONTINA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT (800-221-7809) FOR ASSISTANCE.

• The Ice Maker requires a standard 110-120 volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong grounded outlet. Do not use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet to connect the unit.
• The Ice Maker has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to work around this safety feature. No additional appliances should be plugged into the outlet while using the Ice Maker.
• Connect the power plug into a suitable outlet. The green power indicator light will blink (approximately every five seconds).
• Open the cover and remove the ice bin. Pour water into the water reservoir up to the maximum water line.
• The use of distilled or purified water is recommended, as regular tap water has a higher mineral content and may leave residues in the Ice Maker.
• Replace the ice bin and close the cover.
• Press the ON/OFF button to start the Ice Maker. The green indicator light remains illuminated.
• Press the CUBE SIZE button to select either the SMALL or LARGE ice cube size.
• Prior to beginning the first ice making cycle, water will circulate through the machine for approximately one minute. When this circulation is complete, the water tray will be filled with water.

The Ice Maker will remain idle for approximately two minutes, and then begin the ice making process.

NOTE: When using the Ice Maker for the first time, or after an extended storage period, discard the first few batches of ice.

Ice Production Chart

• To maximize productivity, promptly empty the filled ice bin to a freezer or cooler for storage. Also ensure there is adequate water during ice production.
• The Ice Maker will maintain the ice within the appliance for several hours (duration varies on ambient temperatures).

NOTE: If using the Ice Maker on a daily basis, change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure fresh water is available for ice production.

IMPORTANT: This appliance will not preserve ice. Water from melted ice continuously recycles into new ice cubes. Performance varies pending conditions of use and ambient temperature. Maximum ice production is based on 24 hour operation.

ICE BIN FULL INDICATOR

• When the ice bin is filled, the ICE BIN FULL red indicator light illuminates and ice production stops.
• Use the ice scoop to remove the ice cubes, or empty the ice bin to a freezer or cooler for storage.
• Once the ice bin is emptied, close the cover. The Ice Maker will begin another production cycle.

NOTE: Press the CUBE SIZE button for five seconds to force the Ice Maker to make 10 additional cycles, even if the ICE BIN FULL red indicator light is illuminated.

NOTE: Direct sunlight or sunlight reflection may cause the ice capacity sensors to malfunction, allowing the Ice Maker to continue producing ice, even when the ice bin is full. If these sensors malfunction, move the appliance to a darker location, away from direct sunlight or sunlight reflection.

ADD WATER INDICATOR

• The ADD WATER red indicator light illuminates when the water reservoir is out of water, and ice production stops.
• Open the cover, remove the ice bin and pour water into the water reservoir up to the maximum water level line.
• Replace the ice bin and close the cover. The Ice Maker will begin another production cycle.

Cleaning and Maintenance

NOTE: After emptying the ice bin or adding water, the next ice making cycle may leave some cubes under the water tray. The ice shovel will automatically move these cubes into the ice bin during subsequent cycles. Only use the ice from the ice bin, and do not attempt to manually move the cubes into the ice bin.

When Ice Production is Complete

• To stop ice production, press the ON/OFF button and wait for the appliance to stop running. Unplug the Ice Maker from the wall outlet. Allow the appliance to reach room temperature.
• To drain any remaining water from the water reservoir, move the front edge of the Ice Maker over a sink and open the water drain plug.
• Remove the ice bin and scoop, and thoroughly dry the water reservoir with a soft cloth. Leave the cover open to allow the interior to completely air dry.

Cleaning and Maintenance (General)

• When not in use, and prior to storing the Ice Maker, ensure the appliance is clean and the interior is completely dry.
• Drain any remaining water from the water reservoir by moving the front edge of the Ice Maker over a sink and opening the water drain plug.
• Remove the ice bin and scoop, and thoroughly dry the water reservoir with a soft cloth.
• Hand-wash the ice bin and scoop with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Wipe the exterior surface with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Leave the cover open to allow the interior to completely air dry prior to storage.

NOTE: DO NOT rinse the Ice Maker under running water or immerse the appliance in water.

IMPORTANT:

• DO NOT clean the Evaporator Fingers.
• DO NOT use harsh detergents or bleach to clean the Ice Maker.
• Leave the cover open to allow the interior to completely air dry prior to storage.
