Important Safety Information

Throughout this manual, notices appear to bring your attention to situations which could
result in death, serious injury, damage to the appliance, or damage to property.

WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or

serious injury.

NOTICE Indicates a situation which could result in damage to the

appliance or property.

IMPORTANT Indicates important information about the installation, use, and

care of the appliance.

WARNING

This ice machine should be destined only to the use for which it has been expressly
conceived. Any other use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting from
improper, incorrect, and unreasonable use. Failure to install, operate, and maintain the
ice machine in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance,
component life, and warranty coverage and may result in costly water damage.

To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re, follow basic
precautions including the following:

• Only qualied service technicians should install and service this ice machine.

• This ice machine must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and
local codes and regulations.

• This ice machine requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specications. Failure to use an independent power supply of
proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing wiring,
or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or re.

• THIS ICE MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED: This ice machine is equipped with
a NEMA5-15 three-prong grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock
hazards. It must be plugged into a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet.
If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a qualied
electrician replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not
remove the ground prong from the power cord and do not use an adapter plug.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure the control switch is in the "OFF"
position before plugging in or unplugging the ice machine.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or plug with damp
hands.

• Do not use an ice machine with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not be
altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions could result
in electric shock or re. To unplug the ice machine, be sure to pull the plug, not the
cord, and do not jerk the cord.

• Do not make any alterations to the ice machine. Alterations could result in electric
shock, injury, re, or damage to the ice machine.

WARNING, continued

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be properly supervised around this appliance.

• Do not climb, stand, or hang on the ice machine door or allow children or animals to do
so. Serious injury could occur or the ice machine could be damaged.

• Be careful not to pinch ngers when opening and closing the door. Be careful when
opening and closing the door when children are in the area.

• Do not use combustible spray or place volatile or ammable substances near the ice
machine. They might catch re.

• Keep the area around the ice machine clean. Dirt, dust, or insects in the ice machine
could cause harm to individuals or damage to the ice machine.

NOTICE

• Protect the oor when moving the ice machine to prevent damage to the oor.

• Follow the water supply, drain connection, and maintenance instructions carefully to
reduce the risk of costly water damage.

• In areas where water damage is a concern, install in a contained area with a oor drain.

• Install the ice machine in a location that stays above freezing. Normal operating
ambient temperature must be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C).

• If using the optional drain pump (AGDP), test its operation every time the ice machine
is cleaned and sanitized. See "IV.E. Optional Drain Pump AGDP" for details. If the
optional drain pump is not operating properly, water could back up and overow,
leading to costly water damage.

• To help ensure that the storage bin drain remains clear, follow the instructions in "IV.C.
Storage Bin Drain" once every 3 months or as often as necessary for conditions. If
the storage bin drain becomes clogged, water could build up in the bin and overow,
leading to costly water damage.

• If water collects in the bin and will not drain, turn off the ice machine and close the
water supply line shut-off valve. Call for service.

• Do not leave the ice machine on during extended periods of non-use, extended
absences, or in sub-freezing temperatures. To properly prepare the ice machine for
these occasions, follow the instructions in "V. Preparing the ice machine for Periods of
Non-Use."

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear
of obstruction.

• Do not place objects on top of the ice machine.

• The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the storage bin.
