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
recommend 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:
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 appliances. 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.
Before operating, pull all panels back into place.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the ice maker.
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 the ice maker. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.
Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such as a closed cabinet. 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 50°F (10°C) and
below 100°F (38°C). 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 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 A),
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
4
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 amperes.
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water
may not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less
than normal. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Make certain that hoses are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.
Check for leaks after water line is connected.
Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and
storage, the first 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 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
cleaning products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the safety
instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
Do not use the apparatus other than for 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.

ICE MAKER INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Remove packaging materials.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on
your ice maker.
Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or
glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners
to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your ice maker.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your ice maker before
using it. See the "Interior cleaning" in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
