ICE FULL The ice full light will turn on if the ice basket is full. POWER The power light will be solid green when the unit is powered on. S The S indicates the unit will produce small ice. L The L indicates the unit will produce large ice. Ice Full Indicator Add Water Indicator IMPORTANT: Do not power on the unit without any water. KoldFront Portable Ice Maker 6 How the Portable Ice Maker Produces Ice After the unit is powered on, the ice maker begins with rotating the ice case into a horizontal water fill position under the evaporator. The water pump is engaged and fills the ice case with water. Water overflows for a few seconds before the compressor turns on. The compressor then pumps refrigerant and the fan will turn on automatically after the condenser heats up. The unit will be producing bullet shaped ice around the stainless steel evaporator. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the freeze cycle and begins the harvest cycle. A valve opens diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The gas heats the evaporator causing the ice cube bullets to slide off the evaporator. The ice shovel will automatically push the newly formed ice into the ice basket, and will move the ice case back into the water fill position for the next batch of ice. The ice maker will produce ice until ice reaches the ice full sensor, or until the unit is out of water. The ice bin compartment is insulated, but not refrigerated and the ice in the bin will slowly melt and the water will be reused. Once enough of the ice has melted, the ice maker will automatically start making more ice. Draining the unit Follow the steps below to drain the unit. 1. Carefully move the unit towards a sink or other suitable location for draining. 2. Remove the rubber drain plug from the bottom of the water reservoir to drain all the water. 3. Firmly install the rubber drain plug into the drain port. Normal Sounds Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them. . The ice case motor will make a whirling noise when the ice case and shovel are moving. . Rattling noises may be produced from the flow of the refrigerant. . The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. . The compressor may also produce a low tone humming sound. . Water that is being pumped into the ice case will make trickling, dripping or splashing sounds. . As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing. . You may hear fan noise and air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. . During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice basket. . If the ice maker is run without water, the water pump will make a screeching noise. Note: Do not run the unit without water! WARNING! Do not tip the unit over while there is water in the reservoir. 7 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. Never use a solvent-based cleaning agent. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage and discolor the interior. Unplug the unit before cleaning the exterior and interior. Before using your ice maker, you are strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly. (This process should clean the unit of any impurities that may have been left behind during the manufacturing process.) 1. Take out the ice basket. 2. Clean the interior with a diluted cleaning solution, warm water and a soft cloth. (DO NOT use any caustic or abrasive solutions) (Do not clean your ice maker with flammable fluids.) 3. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. 4. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth. If the ice has a strange taste If the ice has an unappealing taste, or the unit develops a musty odor, try running a few cycles of the ice maker with a mild white vinegar solution or lemon juice. Then empty out all the vinegar or lemon juice solution and run a few cycles with plain water to eliminate all traces of the vinegar or lemon juice. If you find the bad taste remains after this procedure, use a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a full water reservoir of water left in the unit overnight to absorb any remaining odors/tastes. Drain the solution, rinse the water reservoir, and dry the interior. Routine maintenance 1. Take out the ice basket. 2. Add a mild cleaning solution mixture to the water reservoir. Use a 10:1 ratio of water to either white vinegar or lemon juice. 3. Run the ice maker to make a couple of batches of ice (at least 2). Discard the ice. 4. Drain the cleaning solution from the water reservoir. 5. Add fresh water to the water reservoir up to the water level mark. 6. Run the ice maker to make a few batches of ice....
