Optional Ice Maker Kit - Electrolux BEVERAGE CENTER II Service Manual

If the beverage center has anoptional automatic ice maker installed , it
will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. However, during
the initial startup of your beverage center, no ice will be produced
during the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers are also
optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time.
Call your local dealer for information.
The ice maker produces 2 to 5 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.
TURNING THE ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water
supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice
maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to
its "down" or ON position. New plumbing connections may cause the
first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor.
These first cubes should be discarded until the cubes produced are free
of discoloration and odd flavor.
