WARNING
This appliance must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, ground-
ing reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
For best operation, plug this
appliance into its own electri-
cal outlet to prevent flickering
of lights, blowing of fuse or
tripping of circuit breaker.
Improper use of the
grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped
with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a ground-
ing plug..
The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician
or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly ground-
ed.
If the outlet is a standard 2-
prong wall outlet, it is your per-
sonal responsibility and obliga-
tion to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
Do not under any circum-
stances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug
with this appliance
Do not use an extension
cord with this appliance. If the
power cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or serv-
ice technician install an outlet
near the appliance.

partment of this appliance
for both stored ice cubes
and stored water is NOT a
refrigerated compartment.
We recommend changing
(replacing) any stored
water that has not been
used within a t2 hour time
period of the machine
being operational.
In order to maintain a hygien-
ic environment within your ice
maker and prevent the poten-
tial formation of bacteria, it is
highly recommended that you
completely drain the ice
maker after each use (daily)
or if any water has been
stored within the internal
reservoir for in excess of
twelve (12) Hours.
To drain your ice maker;
• Place a drip tray beneath
the right rear portion of the
cabinet, Depending on the
amount of water contained in
the internal reservoir, the
water may exit the drain rap-
idly, Tilt the drain pan slightly
towards the drain spout to
prevent water from projecting
away from the intended water
collection area,
• Remove the drain cap
(as shown in fig., 9 1 )
• When the exitingwater flow
decreases to a 'trickle' slightly
tilt your ice maker backwards
to ensure all the water that
may have been stored inter-
nally is thoroughly drained
Once the water has been
removed from the appliance,
wipe the internal reservoir
and ice bucket dry and leave
the ice maker lid in the open
position to expedite the drying
process,,
