IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

n HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

· A standard electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and Local codes and ordinances is required.

· Please make sure that the unit is properly grounded by a qualified technician.

· Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

outlet is properly grounded.

· Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord.

· It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your icemaker, 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.

· Unplug the icemaker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so

can result in electrical shock or death.

· Never unplug your icemaker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip 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 icemaker away from the wall, be careful not to roll over damage the power cord.

n PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE ICEMAKER

·Choose a well-ventilation area with temperatures above 50°F and below 110°F. This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

·To ensure proper ventilation for your icemaker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.

·The machine should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

·It is important for the icemaker to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to

make several adjustments to level it.

·Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the icemaker.

·Never clean icemaker parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard

or explosion.

·Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

·Do not put anything inside the icemaker cabinet and ice storage bin.

·Turn on the water supply tap before switch on the icemaker. Never turn the water supply

tap off when the icemaker is working.

·Never touch the evaporator surface by hand when the icemaker is working. Otherwise it may hurt your hands.

·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 person

responsible for their safety.

Unpacking

Remove packaging materials

IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on

your icemaker.

Remove tape and glue from your icemaker before using.

l 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.

l 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 icemaker.

Cleaning before use

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your icemaker before using it. See the "Interior cleaning" in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.

Location Requirements

l To ensure proper ventilation for your icemaker, the front of the unit must be

Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 50ºF to 100ºF. Normal operating water temperature should be between 41ºF and 90ºF. Operation of the icemaker for extended periods out side of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.

completely unobstructed. Allow more than 4” clearance at rear, 0.6” at top and sides

for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled

forward for servicing if necessary.

l Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF and below 100ºF. This

unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain,

water spray or drips.

l Icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources. l Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 1/4 in. soft copper

tubing with a shut-off valve and a gravity-drain system.

l The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of

15psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80psig. The temperature of the water

feeding into the ice maker should be between 41ºF and 90ºF for proper operation.

l In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the

proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very

hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized

water is not recommend.

l The icemaker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in

accordance with all state and local codes.

l The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the

icemaker to be leveled in order to work properly.

l The plug must be accessible after installation. l A standard electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance

with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, required.

l IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the icemaker

and wall.

Leveling the Ice Maker

It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the four rolling casters on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the casters until the ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We
