III. IceMaker (if equipped)
The icemaker is located in the freezer compartment.
The appliance must be level for the icemaker to function
properly.
If you have hard water, we recommend you install a
water softener. Also, a filter must be installed if the water
contains solids such as sand. All equipment and devices
used to supply the water to the appliance must comply
with the current regulations for your geographical area.
Safety Instructions and Warnings
• Do not attach the water source while the appliance is
connected to an electrical outlet.
• The water quality must comply with the drinking water
regulations for the geographical area where the appli-
ance is located.
• The icemaker is designed exclusively to make ice
cubes in quantities needed by a household and may
only be operated with water appropriate for this pur-
pose.
• All repairs and work on the icemaker may only be done
by customer service personnel or other trained person-
nel.
Appliances with water connection:
• The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0 psi (1.5-6
bar). Use a 1/4" OD copper line (not supplied) to con-
nect the water supply to the solenoid valve.
• A shut-off valve, must be installed between the hose
line and the main water supply so that the water sup-
ply can be stopped if necessary. Do not install the
shut-off valve behind the refrigeration unit.
• The connection to the water supply may only be made
by a trained and licensed plumber.
• The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage
caused by equipment or water lines between the sole-
noid valve and the water supply.
Appliances with water tank:
• Fill the water tank with cold potable water only. Never
use fluids containing sugar such as soft drinks, fruit-
juices etc..
• Through the use of filtered, decarbonized water, drink-
ing water with the best possible flavor is achieved,
and this can be used for problem-free production of
ice cubes. This water quality can be achieved using
a table water filter of the kind available in trade retail
outlets.
II. Electrical Requirements & Safety
Circuit has to be grounded and protected by a circuit
breaker or fuse.
Single installation: Side-by-side installation:
• 115 volt • 115 volt
• 60 hz • 60 hz
• 15 amp • 20 amp
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for each
appliance to prevent circuit overload and the chance of
interruption to the appliance.
The appliances are equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) polarized plug for protection against possible
shock hazards.
Comply with the National Electrical Code as well as local
codes and ordinances when installing the receptacle.
Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are not sure the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not have
a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.
Electrocution hazard.
Electrical Grounding Required.
• Do not remove the round grounding prong
from the plug.
• Do not use a two-prong
grounding adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect
power to the unit.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or
damged.
• Do not use a power strip.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire, electrical shock or death.
