WARNING
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 50°F (10°C) to 99°F
(37°C).
Normal operating water temperature should be between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Operation of the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal temperature
ranges may affect production capacity.
• It is strongly recommended that a water filter be used. A filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste and
odors as well as particles. Some water is very hard, and softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that
stick together. Deionized water is not recommended.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with all state and local codes.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to
work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by revolving the caster. See the “Leveling
the Ice Maker” section.
• A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the icemaker and wall or cabinet.
Electrical Requirements
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazzard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Never remove the ground prong from the plug. Never use
an adapter. Never use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock or death.
It is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:
A standard electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances, is required. The ice maker should always be plugged into its own dedicated electrical outlet. It is
recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned
off by a switch or pull chain. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
Recommended Grounding Method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having
a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and
grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a
properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Leveling The Ice Maker
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water
will not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less
than normal, and may be noisy. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the casters
until the ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the ice maker.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the unit to see if the ice maker is level from
front to back and side to side.
2. Adjust the height of the casters as follows:
Turn the leveling casters clockwise to lower that side of the ice maker.
Turn the leveling casters counterclockwise to raise that side of the ice
maker.
You will find that the casters make it easy for one person to move the ice maker. This is useful for cleaning and
sanitizing the surface on which the ice maker is installed because it allows you to move the unit and have easy access
to the surface to be cleaned.
