CAUTION

All electrical parts and wiring must be shielded from torch flame. DO NOT allow torch

to touch insulation; it will char at 200°F and flash ignite (burn) at 500°F. Excessive

heat will distort the plastic liner.

FREEZER ICE MAKER INFORMATION

(Where Applicable)

Test Cycling:

Remove cover by inserting screwdriver in notch at bot-

tom and prying cover from housing. Use screwdriver to rotate motor

gear counterclockwise until holding switch circuit is completed. All

components of ice maker should function to complete the cycle.

Water Fill Volume:

The water fill adjustment screw will change

the fill time. One full turn is equal to 20cc (.68 oz.). The correct fill is

102 to 130cc (3.4 to 4.3 oz.). When a water valve is replaced, the fill

volume must be checked.
