Space requirements

• To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front

side must be completely unobstructed. The unit may be

closed-in on the top and three sides, but the installation

should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing

if necessary.

• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply

inlet of

⁄4" (6 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shut-off

valve and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump

to carry the water to an existing drain.

• Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F

(13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained

between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). This unit MUST be

installed in an area protected from the elements, such as

wind, rain, water spray, or drip.

• When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the

recommended opening dimensions shown.

Unit wiring diagrams

This model operates at 115 Volts, except for the cutter grid

circuit which operates at 8.5 Volts at 1 Amp. Maximum fuse

size used should be 15 amps.

The compressor runs at all times except when the bin

thermostat is satisfied. This de-energizes the system except

for the transformer and cutter grid.

Under normal operating conditions, when the evaporator

reaches the preset temperature (10°F [-12°C] to -3°F

[-19°C], depending on ice thickness), the evaporator

thermostat opens, terminating operation of the fan motor

and pump motor. The hot gas solenoid and the water valve

solenoid are energized at this time and remain energized

until the evaporator reaches 38°F (3°C).

securing the grille at the bottom and the one screw from

the center of the front panel support and lift it free of the

cabinet.

2. Turn the fan by hand to make certain it moves freely.

3. Loosen the thumb screws holding the cutter grid and

water pan to “thumb tight,” to make water system cleaning

and sanitizing easier. See the “Removing and cleaning

the interior components” section.

wWARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

ice maker.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

ENGLISH

Connect to the drain

(observe local codes)

1. The unit is provided with a gravity-drain system.

2. The ideal installation has a standpipe (1

⁄4" [32 cm]

minimum) installed directly below the outlet of the drain

tube.

3. It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up

to the drain inlet.

4. Replace the lower access panel and the screws.

5. Plug into 3 prong grounded outlet.

Alternate method:

If a drain connection directly below the drain tube outlet is not

available, install a UL listed drain pump in the rear compart-

ment of the ice maker.

Drain pump specifications:

• UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire,

grounded service cord.

• Overall outside dimensions (maximum): 15" (38 cm) wide x

6" (15 cm) deep x 9

⁄2" (24 cm) high.

• Pump flow rate (minimum): 0.4 gpm @ 12 ft. lift.

• Operating temperature range: 55°F to 110°F.

Checking operation

• Start the unit by turning the Cycle Control to ON and

opening the water line valve.

NOTE: Left is OFF – Middle is ON – Right is CLEAN. In the

CLEAN position, only the water pump operates.

• Use a flashlight to look through the space between the

cutter grid and liner to check for even water flow over the

freezing plate. Unit must be level for proper operation.

Connect to water

(observe local codes)

1. Use

⁄4" (6 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water

supply.

2. Provide a convenient manual shut-off valve in the

water line. Do not use a piercing-type or

⁄16-inch saddle

valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE: Always purge the water line before making the final

connection to the inlet of the water valve to prevent

possible water valve malfunction.

3. Position the tubing so it can enter the access hole

located at the right hand rear of the cabinet. The tubing

should extend beyond the cabinet front when the

cabinet is pushed back into position.

NOTE: After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing to

meet the connection at the water valve. The garden hose-

threaded compression fitting is found in the parts bag

which is shipped under the ice scoop. This joint

provides a convenient disconnect for servicing. Be sure

the tubing is clear of compressor to prevent rattle.

Leveling the ice maker

1. After placing unit in position, check to make certain the

unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Accurate

leveling is important for proper operation.

2. Unit should be shimmed so that it is solid as well as level.

The shims should be of hard, permanent-type material.

3. If required by sanitation code, seal the cabinet to the floor

with an approved caulking compound after all water and

electrical connections have been made.

ENGLISH

• Water will not enter the pump pan until the freezing plate

gets cold. Then the machine goes into a harvest cycle.

• Check for desired cube thickness. Adjust after 24 hours if

necessary. Best operation is obtained with ice thickness at

⁄2" (13 mm) to

⁄8" (16 mm).

Changing the door panels

Both Kenmore models 86485 and 86482 are equipped with

a double-sided decorator panel for both the bin door and the

lower access panel. The decorator panel is white on one side

and black on the other. The Kenmore model 86485 is also

equipped with a single-sided wood grain panel. You can

make custom panels to match your existing cabinet.

CYCLE

How the ice maker

makes ice

1. Water constantly circulates over a freezing plate. As the

water freezes into ice, minerals in the water are rejected.

This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low mineral content.

2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is

released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the

sheet into individual cubes.

3. The water containing the rejected minerals is drained

after each freezing cycle.

4. Fresh water enters the unit for the next ice making

cycle.

5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the

ice maker shuts off automatically and restarts when

more ice is needed.

NOTE: A normal harvest cycle takes 1 to 2 minutes.

Things to remember

• Water enters only during the defrost cycle. Therefore, the

first cycle will be completed without water in the system.

• As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the

amount of ice produced. This means that higher operating

temperatures result in reduced ice production.

• The unit shuts off when ice in the storage bin touches the

bin thermostat. The unit will automatically cycle to keep the

storage bin full.

• The storage bin is not refrigerated and some melting will

occur. This varies with the room temperature.

• The unit needs good air circulation to perform efficiently.

Periodically clean the condenser and grille. If the ice maker

is located on a hard floor surface or there are pets in the

home the condensor should be cleaned every 4-6 weeks for

optimum performance.

• The water system needs to be cleaned periodically for good

circulation. See “Cleaning and sanitizing the ice making

system” section.

Setting the controls

1. Select ice thickness. The ice maker has been preset to

produce ice approximately

⁄2" (13 mm) thick, while operat-

ing in a room temperature of 70°F (21°C).

NOTE: Operation in different room temperatures may

require readjusting the Ice Thickness Control toward

THICK or THIN. Best performance is obtained with ice

⁄2"

(13 mm) to

⁄8" (16 mm) thick. If operating in a warm room

(above 90°F [32°C]), DO NOT set Ice Thickness Control to

the maximum thickness or the unit may malfunction.

2. To start normal ice making cycle, turn Cycle Control to ON.

3. To stop ice making cycle, turn Cycle Control to OFF.

4. The CLEAN setting is used whenever solutions are

circulated through the ice maker for cleaning. Only the

water pump operates at this setting. See “Cleaning and

sanitizing the ice making system” section.

Operating Instructions

Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it

operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature failure

of system components.

Both the ice making system and the air-cooled condenser

need to be cleaned regularly. If the ice maker is located on a

hard floor surface or there are pets in the home the

condenser may require cleaning every 4-6 weeks for optimum

performance.

A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces

ice making capacity, and causes higher than recommended

operating temperatures which may lead to component failure.

All components of the ice maker are permanently lubricated

at the factory. They should not require any additional oiling

throughout the normal life of the machine.

Cleaning exterior surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel cabinet surfaces and gaskets with

warm water and mild soap or detergent. Rinse and dry.

Regular use of a good household-appliance cleaner and

wax will help protect the finish. Treat wood grain panels as

furniture.

NOTE: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on the enamel

surfaces – they may scratch the finish.

Cleaning and sanitizing

the ice making system

The minerals rejected from the circulating water in the freez-

ing cycle will eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the

water system which prevents the rapid release of ice.

Clean ice making system periodically to remove mineral scale

buildup. Frequency of cleaning depends on water hardness.

With soft water, cleaning may not be required for several

years. With hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal.), cleaning may be

required as often as every 6 months.

1. Turn Cycle Control to OFF.

2. Open bin door, remove the two thumb screws and slide

the ice cutter grid out of the two slots near the water pan.

3. Unplug the electrical harness. Any ice on the cutter grid

should be melted under running warm water. Attempting

to pick the ice slab from the grid may stretch and

damage the grid wires.

ENGLISH

General Cleaning and Care

4. Remove all ice from the storage bin and the freezing

plate.

5. Drain the water pan by removing the drain plug and then

replacing it.

6. Pour

⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) of hot tap water into the water pan

and turn the Cycle Control to CLEAN. This warms up the

system to make the cleaning solution more effective. Let

circulate for 5 minutes.

While tap water is circulating, prepare the cleaning

solution. Mix:

6 oz. (170 g) powdered citric or phosphoric acid

⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) hot water

(Citric and phosphoric acid crystals are available from

many pharmacies or scientific supply houses.)

NOTE: Commercial Ice Machine cleaners (liquid) are

also available from refrigeration parts supply stores.

Mix according to instructions on label (total quantity =

⁄2 gallon [1.9 L]).

7. Turn Cycle Control to OFF and drain tap water. (See

Step 5.)

8. Turn Cycle Control to CLEAN and slowly pour hot

cleaning solution into the water pan. If the solution

foams while pouring, wait until foaming stops. Then

add balance of solution.

Allow solution to circulate until the scale has dissolved

(15 to 30 minutes). Severe scale buildup may require

repeated cleaning with fresh cleaning solution.

NOTE: To clean scale off the freezing plate flanges of

the freezing plate, use rubber gloves and scrub with a

plastic scrubbing pad or non-soapfilled stainless steel

pad dipped in the cleaning solution.

9. Turn Cycle Control to OFF and drain the cleaning solu-

tion. Use rubber gloves when removing the drain plug.

10. Replace the drain plug and add

⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) of fresh

water into the water pan. Turn Cycle Control to CLEAN,

let circulate for 5 minutes, and drain. Repeat rinsing

process.

Filtering and treating

water

In most areas, it will be beneficial to filter or treat the water

being supplied to the ice machine. It can improve the

reliability of the machine, reduce water maintenance, and

produce the best quality of ice.

The installation of a polyphosphate feeder will generally

reduce scale buildup and the ice machine will require less

frequent cleaning.

Municipal water systems are generally treated with chlorine

to maintain a safe, potable water supply. Activated carbon

filters will sufficiently remove the residual chlorine from the

water and reduce surface staining of stainless steel materi-

als in the ice machine.

Before Calling for Service

Self-service checklist

Performance problems often result from little things you can

find and fix yourself. Check the list below. It could save you

the cost of a service call.

Unit does not run:

• Cycle Control must be in the ON position.

• Check to see that the power cord is plugged in.

• Check for blown household fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

• Room temperatures must be above 55°F (13°C).

Otherwise, the bin thermostat may sense a cold room

temperature and shut off even though bin is not full of

ice. Also, unit may not restart once it does shut down.

Unit runs but produces no ice:

• Cycle Control must be in the ON position.

• Check water supply to make sure it is open.

• If ice maker is to be operated at an elevation of 2,000 feet

(600 m) or more above sea level, both the Bin Thermostat

and the Ice Thickness Thermostat will need to be

recalibrated. Call your dealer or an authorized service

group to have the necessary changes made.

Unit runs but produces very little ice:

• Room temperature may be extremely high – over 90°F

(32°C). In this case, it is normal for ice production to

be low.

• Dirt or lint may be blocking the airflow through the finned

condenser. Condenser needs to be cleaned.

• Check to see if the unit has a scale buildup in the water

and freezing system. Clean, if necessary.

Cutter grid is not cutting ice sheets:

• Check the grid harness plug to make sure the connection

is secure.

Off-taste in ice cubes:

• There may be an unusually high mineral content in your

water supply. Water may need to be filtered.

• Do not store any foods in the storage bin.

• Make sure all packaging materials have been removed.

wADVERTENCIA

Peligro de Choque Eléctrico

Conecte a un contacto de pared de conexión a

tierra de 3 terminales.

No quite el terminal de conexión a tierra.

No use un adaptador.

No use un cable eléctrico de extensión.

No seguir estas instrucciones puede ocasionar

la muerte, incendio o choque eléctrico.

Diagramas del cableado de

la unidad

Este modelo funciona con 115V, exceptuando el circuito de la

rejilla de corte que funciona con 8,5V y 1 Amp. El amperaje

máximo del fusible usado debe ser 15 Amp.

El compresor funciona en todo momento exceptuando el

momento en que el termostato lo interrumpe. Esto desactiva

todo el sistema excepto el transformador y la rejilla de corte.

Bajo condiciones normales de funcionamiento, cuando el

evaporador alcanza la temperatura preestablecida (de 10°F

[-12°C] a -3°F [-19°C], dependiendo del espesor del hielo), el

termostato evaporador se abre apagando el motor del

ventilador y el de la bomba. El solenoide de gas caliente y el

solenoide de la válvula de agua permanecen activados en

este momento y permanecen así hasta que el evaporador

alcance los 38°F (3°C).

Conexión con el desagüe

(cumpla con los códigos locales)

1. La unidad tiene un sistema de desagüe por gravedad.

2. La instalación ideal tiene un tubo de circulación (de 1

⁄4

pulgs. [32 cm] como mínimo) puesto directamente por

debajo de la salida del tubo de desagüe.

3. Quizás sea preferible aislar bien la tubería de desagüe

hasta la entrada del drenaje.

4. Vuelva a colocar el panel de acceso inferior y los

tornillos.

5. Enchufe la unidad en un contacto de pared de conexión a

tierra de 3 terminales.

Método alternativo:

Si no se dispone de una conexión de desagüe directamente

ubicada debajo de la salida de la tubería de desagüe,

instale en el compartimiento posterior de la fábrica de hielo

una bomba de desagüe listada en la UL.

Especificaciones para la bomba de desagüe:

• Debe estar listada en la UL y tener un cable de 120 VCA,

de 3 alambres y con conexión a tierra.

•

Las dimensiones exteriores totales (máximas) son: 15 pulgs.

(38 cm) de ancho x 6 pulgs. (15 cm) de profundidad x 9

⁄2

pulgs. (24 cm) de altura.

• Gasto de la bomba (mínimo): 0,4 gpm a 12 pies de altura.

• Escala de temperaturas de funcionamiento: 55° F a 110° F.

Control del funcionamiento

• Haga funcionar la unidad poniendo el Control del Ciclo en la

posición “ON” y abriendo la válvula de la tubería de agua.

NOTA: La izquierda es “OFF” (apagado) – la mitad es “ON”

(encendido) y la derecha es “CLEAN” (limpieza). En la posi-

ción “CLEAN” solamente funciona la bomba de agua.

2. Haga girar a mano el ventilador para asegurarse de que se

mueva libremente.

3. Afloje algo los tornillos de mariposa que sostienen la rejilla

de corte y la bandeja de agua para facilitar la limpieza e

higienización del sistema de agua. Vea la sección

“Desmontaje y limpieza de las piezas interiores”

Conexión del agua

(cumpla con los códigos locales)

1. Utilice tuberías de cobre blando de

⁄4 de pulg. (6 mm) de

diámetro exterior para el suministro de agua fría.

2. Ponga en la tubería de agua una válvula de cierre manual

adecuada. No use válvulas perforadoras ni las de tipo de

montura de

⁄16 de pulg. porque reducen la corriente de

agua y se atascan con más facilidad.

NOTA: Siempre purgue las tuberías de agua antes de

hacer la conexión final con la válvula de entrada de agua

para prevenir el posible mal funcionamiento de la válvula

de agua.

3. Coloque la tubería de manera que entre en el orificio de

acceso localizado en el lado derecho de la parte trasera

del aparato. Cuando se empuja el aparato hacia atrás para

dejarlo en su posición, la tubería debe sobresalir del frente

del mismo.

NOTA: Luego de poner el aparato en su lugar doble la

tubería para unirla con la conexión en la válvula de agua.

El accesorio de manguera de compresión con rosca se

encuentra en la bolsa de accesorios debajo de la pala de

hielo. Este acoplamiento ofrece un medio conveniente de

desconexión cuando se hace el servicio. Asegúrese de que

la tubería no toque al compresor para evitar ruidos

molestos.

Nivelación de la fábrica de hielo

1. Luego de colocar la unidad en la posición deseada, com-

pruebe que el lado derecho y el izquierdo, el frente y la

parte de atrás estén nivelados. La nivelación precisa es

muy importante para que funcione adecuadamente.

2. La unidad debe estar calzada de manera de que esté firme

y nivelada. Las calzas deben ser de un material duro y

resistente.

3. Si el código de higiene lo requiere, selle el aparato al piso

con un compuesto de enmasillado aprobado, luego de

haber hecho todas las conexiones eléctricas y las de agua.
