CHILD ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION ARE NOT PROBLEMS OF THE PAST. JUNKED OR ABANDONED
APPLIANCES ARE STILL DANGEROUS.

• BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR ICE MAKER: TAKE OFF THE DOOR.

• 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 APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN USING YOUR
ICE MAKER.

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

• 1 HOSE, 25 FT.

• 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 VENT HOT AIR THROUGH THE FRONT VENT. THIS

ALLOWS FOR INSTALLATION IN A RECESSED OR BUILT-IN APPLICATION, IF DESIRED.

• PLACE YOUR ICE MAKER ON A LEVEL SURFACE THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO

SUPPORT THE ICE MAKER WHEN IT IS FULLY LOADED. REMEMBER THAT THE UNIT WILL
BE SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER ONCE IT IS OPERATIONAL AND FULLY LOADED. LEVEL
YOUR ICE MAKER BY ADJUSTING THE LEGS AT THE FRONT OF THE ICE MAKER.

• LOCATE THE ICE MAKER AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SOURCES OF HEAT

(STOVE, HEATER, RADIATOR, ETC.). DIRECT SUNLIGHT MAY AFFECT THE FINISH AND
HEAT SOURCES MAY INCREASE ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION. EXTREME COLD AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ICE MAKER TO MALFUNCTION. THIS ICE MAKER
IS DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION INDOORS IN “ROOM TEMPERATURE” AMBIENT
CONDITIONS.

• AVOID LOCATING THE ICE MAKER IN MOIST/HUMID AREAS. TOO MUCH MOISTURE IN

THE AIR WILL CAUSE FROST TO FORM QUICKLY ON THE EVAPORATOR REQUIRING
FREQUENT DEFROSTING.

• PLUG THE ICE MAKER INTO A DEDICATED, PROPERLY 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.
