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 use, installation, and

care of the appliance.

WARNING

The appliance 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
appliance 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 the appliance.

• The appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and
local codes and regulations.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the icemaker power switch or plug
with damp hands. Make sure the icemaker power switch is in the "OFF" position
before plugging in or unplugging the icemaker.

• Before Servicing: FS: Move the icemaker's power switch to the "OFF" position.
Unplug the icemaker from the electrical outlet. SRC: Turn off the power supply to
the remote condensing unit. Place the disconnect (if applicable) in the off position.
Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power supply from being turned back on inadvertently.

• Do not make any alterations to the icemaker or condensing unit. Alterations could
result in electric shock, injury, re, or damage to the appliance.

FS

• The icemaker 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.

• THE ICEMAKER MUST BE GROUNDED. The icemaker 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. Failure
to properly ground the icemaker could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING, continued

FS continued

altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions could result

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Do not use an icemaker with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not be

in electric shock or re. To unplug the icemaker, be sure to pull the plug, not the cord,
and do not jerk the cord.

• Do not place ngers or any other objects into the ice discharge opening.

SRC

• Electrical connection must be hard-wired to the remote condensing unit and must
meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these
code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, re, or damage.

• The remote condensing unit 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.

• THE REMOTE CONDENSING UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED. Failure to properly
ground the remote condensing unit could result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

• Follow the instructions in this manual 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 icemaker in a location that stays above freezing. Normal operating ambient
temperature must be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C).

• Do not leave the icemaker on during extended periods of non-use, extended
absences, or in sub-freezing temperatures. To properly prepare the icemaker for
these occasions, follow the instructions in "IV. Preparing the Appliance 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 appliance.

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

I. Specications

A. Electrical and Refrigerant Data

IMPORTANT

Icemaker and remote condensing unit power supplies are separate.

The rating label (FS) and nameplate (FS and SRC) provide electrical and refrigerant
data. The rating label can be seen by removing the front panel of the FS. The nameplate
is located on the rear panel of the FS and on the side panel of the SRC. For certication
marks, see the nameplate.
We reserve the right to make changes in specications and design without prior notice.

II. Installation and Operating Instructions

WARNING

• The icemaker and remote condensing unit must be installed in accordance with
applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations.

• Failure to install, operate, and maintain the icemaker and remote condensing
unit in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance,
component life, and warranty coverage and may result in costly water damage.

• CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews
are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the
dispenser unit/ice storage bin.

A. Location

1. Icemaker

NOTICE

• The icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient
temperature must be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C); Normal operating
water temperature must be within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C). Operation of the
icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may
affect icemaker performance.

• The icemaker will not work at sub-freezing temperatures. To prevent damage
to the water supply line, drain the icemaker if the air temperature is going to go
below 32°F (0°C). See "IV. Preparing the Appliance for Periods of Non-Use."

• The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat producing
equipment.

• Allow 6" (15 cm) clearance at rear and sides for proper air circulation and ease of
maintenance and/or service should they be required. Allow 24" (61 cm) clearance at top to
allow for removal of the auger.

• The location must provide a rm and level foundation for the appliance.
