WARNING
• Use two or more people to move and install ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Never install or operate the unit behind closed doors. To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the
front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with an ambient
temperature range of between 50°F (10°C) to 99°F (37°C). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected
from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with state and local
codes. A standard electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet.
• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size is rated at 15 amperes.
• It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water may not flow properly
through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less than normal. You may need to make several
adjustments to level it.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
• Make certain that hoses are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.
• Check for leaks after water line is connected.
• Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first
batch of cubes must be discarded.
• Remove the packing materials and clean the ice maker before using.
• Turn on the water supply tap before switching on the ice maker. Never turn the water supply tap off when the
ice maker is working.
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed in order to reduce ice melting and to promote proper ice
formation.
• If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, before the next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow
carefully, instructions provided for cleaning. Do not leave any sanitizing solution inside the ice maker after
cleaning. DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may transmit
taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior. The ice machine cleaner contains acids. Do not use
or mix with any other solvent-based cleaners products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the
safety instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
• Do not use the apparatus other than for its intended purpose.
• Do not touch the condenser fins, they are sharp and can be easily damaged.
Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug that
mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When
a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The ice maker should always be plugged into its own dedicated electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your
ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Repair or
replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the ice maker, be careful not to damage the
power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an
extension cord with this ice maker.
