SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS
As with any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed in
order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or injury to
persons or property. Be sure to read all instructions before using
this appliance and observe the following safety tips:
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord.
• Only connect the ice maker to a properly polarized outlet. No other
appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Make sure the plug is
fully inserted into the receptacle.
• An extension cord is not recommended, as it may overheat and become a
fire risk. If necessary, use an extension cord with a minimum size of No. 14
AWG and rated for no less than 1875 watts.
• Do not place hands or objects on or near the ice maker’s evaporator when
it is in operation.
• Do not run the power cord over carpeting or heat insulators. Do not cover
the cord. Keep the cord away from high traffic areas and never submerge it
in water.
• Always turn off and unplug the ice maker from the power supply before
cleaning and servicing.
• Do not use your ice maker outdoors.
• Do not use liquids other than water to make ice cubes.
• Exercise caution and make sure there is supervision when this appliance is
being used near children.
• If the ice maker is brought in from the outside in the winter, allow the ice
maker to warm up to your room’s temperature for a few hours before
plugging it in.
• Do not clean your ice maker with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a
fire hazard or cause an explosion.
