Important Safety Information
Improper handling can cause serious damage to the EdgeStar ice maker and / or injury to the user. This ice maker is designed for domestic use only. All units besides the IB250SSOD should only be used indoors. Do not use the unit for industrial or commercial use. Any other use or incorrect installation may invalidate the warranty. Please review the rating label located on the rear panel of the unit for electrical and other technical data related to this unit. The unit must be used in a properly grounded wall outlet. Please read and follow the safety information listed below to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury. Installation should only be done by a licensed plumber.
Electrical Safety
Do not exceed the power outlet ratings.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove the grounding prong, use an adapter, or use an extension cord.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
Do not plug or unplug the unit 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.
Before proceeding with cleaning, maintenance, or service, make sure the unit’s power line is disconnected and the water line is shut off. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
Unplug the unit if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
Do not operate the unit with a power plug missing the ground plug, a damaged cord, or a loose socket.
Do not bypass, cut, or remove the grounding plug.
All electrical and water connections for the unit must be installed in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115V, 60 Hz), 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 should be 15 amps.
Do not use extension cords or power strips with this unit. You may need to contact your electrician if it is necessary to use a longer cord or if you do not have a grounded outlet. Do not modify the power cord’s length or share the outlet with other appliances.
Do not start or stop the unit by switching the circuit’s power on and off.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified technician.
Immediately unplug the unit if it makes strange sounds, emits smells, or smoke comes out of it, and contact customer service.
Do not remove any part of the casing unless instructed to do so by an authorized technician.
You should never attempt to repair the unit yourself. Contact a customer service specialist for service options if the unit needs service.
Important: Be sure the unit is standing upright for 24 hours before plugging it in.

This unit must be protected from any type of moisture or precipitation.
Replace all of the unit’s panels before operation.
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the ice maker.
Do not touch the ice maker mold while the machine is in use.
This appliance should not be used by children eight (8) years of age and younger, or people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children should not play with this appliance.
Use two or more people to move and install the 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.
The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other sources of high heat.
The ice maker must be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water may not flow properly through the ice maker mold and ice production will be below the normal capacity. You may need to make several adjustments to level the unit.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Ensure that hoses are not pinched, kinked, or damaged during installation.
Do not pinch or kink the water or power supply lines between the unit and cabinet.
Check for leaks after the water line is connected.
Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, the first batch of ice cubes must be discarded because of long term transit and storage.
Remove the packing materials and clean the ice maker before use.
Turn on the water supply tap before turning the ice maker on. Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
Only open the door to take ice from the unit. Keep the door closed as much as possible in order to reduce ice melting and to promote proper ice formation.
If the ice maker has not been used for a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned before its next use. Follow the cleaning instructions provided in this manual carefully. Do not leave any cleaning solutions inside the ice maker.
Do not touch the condenser fins. They are sharp and can be easily damaged.
Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaning agents on the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.
Only connect a potable water supply.
