appliance or property.

Indicates important information about the installation, use, 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 fi re, follow basic
precautions including the following:

• Only qualifi 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.

• The appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specifi 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 fi re.

• THE APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED: The appliance 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 qualifi 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 appliance could result in death or serious injury.

• Do not use an extension cord.

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

• Do not use an appliance 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 fi re. To unplug the appliance, be sure to pull the plug, not
the cord, and do not jerk the cord.

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

WARNING, continued

• The 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.

• Young children should be properly supervised around the appliance.

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

• Be careful not to pinch fi 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 fl ammable substances near the
appliance. They might catch fi re.

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

NOTICE

• Protect the fl oor when moving the appliance to prevent damage to the fl 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 fl oor
drain.

• Install the appliance 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, test its operation every time the appliance is cleaned
and sanitized. See the instructions included with the pump for details. If the optional
drain pump is not operating properly, water could back up and overfl ow, leading to
costly water damage.

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

• Do not leave the appliance on during extended periods of non-use, extended
absences, or in sub-freezing temperatures. To properly prepare the appliance for
these occasions, follow the instructions in “V. 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 storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the storage bin.
