Important safety instructions
WARNING
• Read all instructions before using the ice maker.
• Danger or warning: risk of child entrapment.
child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned appliances are still dangerous. . . Even if they will “just sit
in the garage a few days.”
• Before you throw away your ice maker: take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other ice maker. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
injury when using your ice mak er, follow these
Installation instructions
Before using your ice maker
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
• 1 ice bucket
• 1 plastic scoop
• 25 ft. Hose
• 1 Safety Latch Assembly
• 1 instruction manual
• Before connecting the ice maker to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installation of your ice maker
• This appliance is designed to be recessed or built-in (fully recessed).
• Place your ice maker on a f loor that is strong enough to support the ice maker when it is f ully
loaded. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded. To level your ice
maker, adjust the leg at the front of the ice maker.
• Locate the ice mak er away from direct sunlight an d sources of heat (stove, heater , radiator, etc .).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extrem e cold ambient temperatures m ay also cause the ice maker not to perform
properly.
• Avoid locating the ice m aker in mois t areas. Too m uch moisture in th e air will cause f rost to form
quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the ice maker.
• Plug the ice maker into an exclusive properl y installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized Avanti Products service center.
