heres’s ten steps for a quick & easy install
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT!
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children.
Remove door gaskets, latches, lids, lock and/or doors from unused or discarded appliances,
or take other actions to guarantee them harmless.
Always dispose of old appliances in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Inspect cabinet opening for water, drain and electrical connections.
The 1/4” O.D. water supply line must include isolation valve and should include an inline water
filter (consult manual). Do NOT use a self-piecing valve for the supply connection. Water
supply must have a minimum pressure of 20 psi and a maximum of 80 psi. Cold water
should be between 50 F and 90 F - NOTE: warmer water will slow ice production.
is strongly recommended.
Drain tubing will be 5/8” ID gravity fed or 3/8” ID for a pump model. All horizontal drain
runs must drop 1/4” per foot. The drain should include an air gap d
evice to prevent
siphoning and a sanitary trap. A restricted or inadequite drain can result in poor ice
production and possible flooding.
Electrical requirement is 15a dedicated, grounded circuit - outdoor installs must use a GFI.
Route water supply tubing to the water inlet located at the rear of the unit.
Connect the drain tubing to either the pump discharge or the barbed gravity fed elbow.
Be sure nothing is kinked, and excess slack is removed.
Be sure the electrical connection is secure into the wall outlet.
Slide the machine into location or cavity being careful not to allow for any kinks to occur
in the water inlet and drain tubing.
Adjust the Ice Maker to level using the leg levelers.
Add approximately 2-3 quarts of water to the bin and make certain it is draining properly
and check for leaks. If water does not drain, stop and verify tubing is not restricted.
Wash down the interior of the machine with a mild detergent solution (consult manual)
Turn the machine on and allow it to make ice for approximately 30-35 minutes to verify
ice is being produced and water is draining freely. Be sure to check the cube size, shape
and clarity. Discard the first batch of ice.
adjust if needed.
Always do one last check to be sure all water and drain connections are leak free.

INDOOR / OUTDOOR
Please read through completely before using your XO Unit
Periodic maintenance is essential for safe operation - the unit must be easily pulled out for full access.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug and water shutoff are readily accessible.
Empty your XO unit before attempting to move the appliance. Moving while loaded may damage or
distort the frame.
The compressor will get HOT during operation / touching it may cause injury.
During installation follow all safety tips provided in this manual / appropriate safety equipment such as
safety glasses and work gloves should be worn.
Two people should move or lift your XO unit to prevent injury or damage.
Remov
e all interior and exterior packing materials prior to installation and dispose of properly.
Always use only approved cleaning and descaling products to maintain your XO Ice Maker.
For maximum efficiency, keep the door tightly shut unless removing ice.
Before installing, allow your XO unit to sit upright for 2 hours at the install site. This will allow the cooling
system to stabilize after transportation. Failure to follow this step may cause problems.
Location
Your XO unit should be located away from direct sunlight and heat sources (stove, heaters, etc.) which may
increase electrical consumption. High or low ambient temperature may cause units to work improperly.
Optimal operation occurs in the ambient temperatures of 50 - 68 F and water temperature below 50 .
The floor must be strong enough to support your XO unit fully loaded.
Your XO unit must not be installed in areas of where water or e
xcessive moisture are present.
Your XO unit’s final installation must observe the correct minimum air clearances around and behind the
unit to ensure adequate ventilation. In addition, all ventilation openings must be kept clear and free of
obstructions, failure to do so will result in damage to the unit.
WARNING
NEVER use external heat sources to accelerate defrosting
NEVER permit unauthorized service or modifications to your XO unit
NEVER tamper with the sealed refrigerant system - this unit uses R134a Refrigerant.
It should never be used in the vicinity of any flammable or explosive ignition sources.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL.
6
your safety matters
Never store bottles, cans or perishable food products such as meat or cheese in your XO Ice Maker.
Your XO unit must not be installed near
where flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials are present.
Failure To Follow All Electrical Safety Measures May Result in Serious Injury,
Fire Or Death
All electrical work should only be performed by an
experienced, licensed electrician.
All XO units MUST be grounded for safe operation and
come equipped with a
3 Prong molded cord/plug for that
purpose.
NEVER remove or disable the 3rd prong with an adapter.
NEVER use an extension cord to operate your XO unit.
Your XO unit is built to operate on 115V 60Hz and
should be plugged directly into a dedicated 15 amp
3 prong outlet. If you are uncertain as to the
vol
tage, amperage capacity or if the 3rd prong is
properly grounded - consult a licensed electrician.
To maximize the depth of the installation recess -
your outlet should be mounted flush with the wall.
Your XO unit should not share the circuit with any other
electrical devices as this may cause overloading,
overheating, blown fuses or tripping circuit breakers.
In a worst case this can pose a fire hazard.
NEVER handle your XO unit in wet conditions as this
can pose a severe danger of electric shock.
Exercise care when moving your XO unit to avoid
damage to the electrical cord. If the electrical cord of
your XO unit becomes worn or damaged it must be
replaced immediately by a qualified technician.
NEVER unplug your unit by pulling on the cord.
Unplug by gripping the plug firmly and pull out
straight from the outlet.
FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE:
XO Ice Makers shown in this manual are rated for
Indoor and Outdoor use.
These units are designed to operate in ambient
temperatures between 50 and 90 F.
Avoid installing the unit where it may be exposed to
heat or direct sun, dusty or damp conditions or in a
location where it may be rained on or splashed by
water.
Never install the unit where flammable or corrosive
chemicals (such as pool chemicals) are present.
Installation in seaside environments where high
concentrations of salt are present will require more
frequent cleaning to avoid corrosion.
Use in any uncontrolled area or otherwise exposed
to the elements is hazardous and voids the warranty.
In regions where high humidity exists (greater than 70%)
condensation may appear on the door and/or door
gaskets. This is normal and will disappear as humidity
drops.

Is the installation location COOL, DRY, LEVEL and away from direct sun.
The water supply valve must provide positive shut off capability and be readily accessible.
Does the unit have a dedicated 115V three prong grounded outlet? (use GFI outdoors)
The Cold Water supply is 1/4” O.D. tube, it should be 50 to 90 F and be between 20 and 80 psi.
(NOTE: as the inlet water temperature increases - production efficiency goes down.)
YOU WILL NEED -
A few simple hand tools:
Pump pliers, adjustable wrench, #2 Phillips head screwdriver, level, razor knife
AND a few hardware items:
Teflon tape or Pipe dope
5/8” I.D. drain hose and hose clamps (if installing a gravity drain model)
1/4” O.D. water supply hose
Air Gap Device and/or Sanitary Trap (depending on your installation).

All water contains some impurities and minerals.
Your XO Ice Maker is designed to produce crystal clear, gourmet ice. It does this by
reducing the mineral content in the water as the ice is forming.
PURER WATER YIELDS PURER ICE.
Cubes are formed by cold water spraying against a chilled mold. Pure water freezes faster
than water containing impurities. The spraying action causes the cubes to be built up in layers
as the pure water freezes more quickly and the water containing impurities is washed away by
the spray and falls into the water bin to be diluted and drained away.
When the ice maker senses the cubes are fully formed and ready, the ice cube molds are
heated slightly causing them to drop out of the mold and into the ice holding bin.
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure that your ice maker is performing at its best.
See the maintenance section of this book and the Maintenance Schedule.
FILTERS AND WATER TREAMENT
The correct filter is always recommended. It has the ability to remove odors as well as
particulate from water prior to reaching the ice maker.
(consult www.xoappliance.com for more information on which filter is right for you)
Water softeners exchange one mineral for another (salt) which can cause inferior ice quality
such as soft, mushy ice that clumps together. If you are using a water softener, you should
install a bypass to supply untreated water to the ice maker.
Water produced by Reverse Osmosis and deionized water are not recommended. It is more
corrosive than tap water and can cause harm to the equipment over time.
water quality
12
Plan the arrangement of the water supply pipes. You will need both a water supply line and
a drain (see section on installing a gravity drain unit or pump drain unit)
If the tap water has a high level of minerals, an inline filter will be required.
Attach the water supply line to the rear of the unit
with flexible tube to the fitting indicated here.
The tubing must be long enough to permit the
unit to be pulled out for service.
Water supply should be between 20psi and 80psi.
Attach the drain to the connection indicated here
If you are installing an XOUIM1565S unit with a
gravity drain, the line must be pitched down
1/4” per ft to ensure correct drainage.
If the drain is positioned at a higher elevation than
the connection on the rear of the unit, a pump
will be required. Use model XOUIM1565GP.
This unit comes with a pre-installed drain pump
capable on discharging to a drain up to 8’ above
the unit.
IMPORTANT: The keep drains as short and straight
as possible for optimal performance.
The electric power, water supply pipeline and drain pipeline must be in compliance with all
provisions under the local laws and building regulations.
IMPORTANT: The product is designed for use in a fixed condition but it may be required to
pull the product out for service. Therefore, do not install any material at the front, upper or
lower end of the product which may be an obstacle when pulling the product out.
Once the unit is in place, use the leveling legs to ensure the unit is level.
Each side should have at least 1/16" of space for projection of the screw head near the bottom.

When using your XO Ice Maker outdoors - follow these additional steps.
In outdoor installations care must be taken to protect the unit from excessive heat or direct
sun, dusty or damp conditions or in a location where it may be rained on or splashed by water.
The unit must be connected to a grounded circuit. If the installation is outdoor it must be
protected by a Ground Fault Interupter (GFI). If you are uncertain if the circuit is correctly
grounded and protected, consult a licensed electrician.
These units are designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 50 and 90 F.
As the ambient temperature approaches either extreme the production capacity of the ice
maker will be reduced. This is normal and expected.
Never install the unit where flammable or corrosive chemicals (such as pool chemicals)
are present.
Installation in seaside environments where high concentrations of salt, or in pool areas where
high concentrations of chlorine are present will require more frequent cleaning to avoid
corrosion.
Use in any uncontrolled area or otherwise exposed to the elements is hazardous and voids the
warranty.
In regions where high humidity exists condensation may appear on the door and/or gasket
seals.
CAUTION: Exposing the Ice Maker to freezing ambient temperatures can cause water
throughout the installation to freeze where it is not supposed to and may result in
damage to the unit.
Seasonally, once temperatures at the coldest part of the day begin to approach 40 F
you should take steps to winterize your ice maker following the steps in this manual.

operating
Initial operation
Open the water supply valve connect ed with the ice maker.
Insert the plug of the ice maker into the electric outlet.
Open the door and turn the switch to the “ICE” position.”
Discard the first batch of ice.
Good-quality ice is produced 1-2 hour s later.
Using the ice maker
Use of the ice maker is very simple. Simply turn the switch at
the lower end of the product to the “ICE” position.
The product automatically starts ice production, which continues
until the ice container has been filled with ice. Remove the ice
using an ice scoop and insert the scoop into the holder on the
inside of the container (If you place the container in the ice,
it may be covered over by ice).
The ice maker produces 24 pieces of ice every 30 minutes.
Also, the produced ice drops down into the ice container;
water is supplied to the ice maker and the water is also drained.
Important Information : Do not put anything other than
ice in the ice container. Wine or beer bottles are unsanitary
and a detached label may block the drain pipe.
Ice
The ice has a rectangular bell shape (refer to the figure).
Newly produced ice is clear and transparent. The inside of the ice
is sometimes cracked; however, such cracks commonly occur in
the production process and disappear with time.
Ice stored in the container for a long time may gather frost on
the outside and look cloudy. This is normal ice and, once water
is poured on the ice, such frosting disappears.
Ice container
The product continues making ice until the level of ice reaches
the temperature sensing tube(right side). It then ceases operation.
The model with a drain pump drains away melted ice when the
ice maker is turned off. The pump works for only several seconds.

operating cont.
Operation time
It takes about 20-35 minutes to produce a set of 24 ice pieces. The length of one cycle
of the ice maker (ice production and ice removal) differs depending upon the cleanness
of the ice maker, the surrounding temperature, and the temperature of the water supplied
to the ice maker. It takes about 10-12 hours to fill the empty ice container with ice.
Ice production
The ice production process largely consists of two cycles-ice production and ice removal.
24 pieces of ice are produced with each cycle of ice production and ice removal.
When water is sprayed on to the surface of the frozen ice forming mold, the ice production
cycle is started. When ice is removed and water is supplied to ice maker, the ice removal
cycle is started. The time taken for both cycles together is about 20-35 minutes.
Ice production cycle
Ice is produced on the surface of the ice -forming mold located at the top of the ice maker.
Water is sprayed against the chilled surface of the mold where it begins to freeze. Water
containing mineral impurities freezes more slowly and it falls back into the water container
where it will be diluted and drained off during the Ice Removal Cycle. This process of
spraying water allows ice to form in crystal clear layers.
As the ice-forming mold is filled with ice the temperature drops, the ice maker senses this
and the ice production cycle stops and ice removal is started automatically.
Ice removal cycle
The compressor works during the the ice removal cycle, but the pump motor and fan motor
are stopped. The hot gas valve and water supply valve are opened and the frozen surfaces
are heated, causing ice to drop into the container. The ice removal cycle is stopped and
the ice production cycle is started again automatically.

stainless steel
cleaning the exterior
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or
corrosion proof. Stainless steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained properly.
Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount metals such as chromium and
nickel used in the alloy. It is the chromium which provides an invisible protective film on the
surface called chromium oxide. If the protective chromium oxide film on the surface is damaged
or contaminated, it can result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the iron in the steel.
Care & Cleaning:
Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your
product by removing contaminants.
This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants
such as halide salts, (sodium chloride) and also in pool areas where high concentrations of chlorine
are present.
.
It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean crevices, weld points,
under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of moisture could collect,
become stagnant, and concentrate contaminates.
Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the installation location, environmental factors, and use.
Cleaning Products:
Ultimately, the choice of a proper cleaning product belongs to the consumer, and there are many
products to choose from. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination,
some products are better than others.
Typically the most effective means of routine cleaning for most stainless steel products is to give
the surfaces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water with a gentle detergent, or mild
mixture of ammonia.
Rubbing should follow the polish lines of the steel, folllowed by a thorough rinsing after cleaning.
CAUTION: There are products on the market Called "stainless steel cleaners," which may contain
abrasives that could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective chromium oxide coating)
and other products which contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish or discolor the surface if
not completely removed. Such cleaners should be avoided.
