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. It is strongly recommended 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 ﬁ re, electrical shock or injury when using the ice maker, follow basic precautions, including the following:

DANGER

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use 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 ﬁ rmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

• Never clean ice maker parts with ﬂ ammable ﬂ uids. Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a ﬁ re 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 ICE-MAKING SYSTEM CLEANING section).

• Before operating, put all panels back into place.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the ice maker.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)

WARNING

• 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 45˚F (7˚C) and below 110˚F (43˚C).

• The ice maker is designed to be installed in an outdoor kitchen, but must not be placed directly adjacent to a grill or other source of high heat. A minimum clearance of 6" from all sources of high heat must be maintained at all times.

• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz, 15A), 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 must be 15 amperes or higher.

• 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.

• Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the ﬁ rst batch of cubes must be discarded.

• 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.

• 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 ﬁ ns. The condenser ﬁ ns 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 hand. 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 qualiﬁ ed 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 ﬁ re hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug ﬁ rmly 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.
