Important Safety Information

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

WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or

serious injury.

CAUTION Indicates a situation which could result in damage to the unit.

IMPORTANT Indicates important information about the use and care of the

unit.

WARNING

This icemaker 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.

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

• This unit requires an independent power supply. See the nameplate for proper
voltage and breaker/fuse size. Failure to use a proper breaker or fuse can
result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or damage to existing wiring. This
could lead to heat generation or re.

• THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED: This unit is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. It must
be plugged into a properly grounded, independent 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.

• Make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in or
unplugging the unit to reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Do not use a unit 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 unit, be sure to pull the
plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the cord.

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

• This unit should be disassembled or repaired only by qualied service
personnel to reduce the risk of electric shock, injury, or re.

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

See the nameplate for electrical and refrigeration specications. This nameplate is located
on the rear panel.
Since this nameplate is located on the rear panel of the icemaker, it cannot be read when
the back of the icemaker is against a wall or against another piece of kitchen equipment.
Therefore, the necessary electrical and refrigeration information is also on the rating label,
which can be easily seen by removing only the front panel of the icemaker.
