ICE MAKER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the Safety Alert Symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can injure or kill you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the words
“DANGER”, “WARNING” OR “CAUTION”.
DANGER means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in death or severe personal injury.
WARNING means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or
death.
CAUTION means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in minor or moderate personal injury, or property or equipment damage.
All safety messages will alert you to what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, when using your ice maker, follow these basic precautions:
Plug into grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove grounding prong
Do not use an adapter
Do not use an extension cord
Disconnect power before cleaning
Disconnect power before servicing
Replace all panels before operating
Use 2 or more people to move and install ice maker
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. We strongly recommends that you have a professional install your new machine. The warranty may be affected or voided by an incorrect installation. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the ice maker, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
2
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
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.
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
Never unplug the ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off. (EXCEPTION: When cleaning the machine’s ice making and water systems, see pages 16 – 17)
Before operating, put all the enclosure panels back into their original places.
Do not touch the evaporator with your hand when the machine is operating.
Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your ice maker unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Use two or more people to move and install ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF (10ºC) and below 100ºF (38ºC). 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 (115 VAC only, 60 Hz, 15 A), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
Do not kink or pinch power supply cord or drain lines between ice maker and cabinet.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
Check for leaks after connection.
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.
Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage,
3
the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, before the next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution. Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after cleaning.
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser fins are sharp and can be easily damaged.
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 cleaner products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the material safety instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 individual 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.
