IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and
installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To
reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the ice
maker, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet; do not remove grounding prong, do not use
an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, 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.
Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion. And 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.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the the
unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off. (EXCEPTION: ice maker is
in cleaning mode).
Replace all panels before operating after servicing or maintenance.
Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to
do so can result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your ice maker unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
When you disassemble the front cover, don’t overexert, or the leads connected
with the power switch can be torn from the switch.
Use two or more people to move and install ice maker. Failure to do so can result
in back or other serious injury.
To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above
55°F (13°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit MUST be installed in an area
protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high
heat.
The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in
accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only,
60 Hz, 15 A), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code
4
and local codes and ordinances is required.
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet.
The circuit breaker rating should be 15 amperes.
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. You may
need to make several adjustments to level it.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during
installation.
Check for leaks after water line and drain line connection.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the ice maker.
Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and
storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, before the next use it must be
thoroughly cleaned. Carefully follow instructions as provided for cleaning or use
of sanitizing solution. Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after
cleaning.
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser fins are sharp and can be easily
damaged.
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These
cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.
The ice machine cleaner contains acids. DO NOT use or mix with any other
solvent-based cleaner products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands and protective
eye wear. Carefully read the material safety instructions on the container of the
ice machine cleaner.
Do not use this apparatus for anything other than its intended purpose.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The
power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong ( N E M A 5-15P) grounding
plug that mates with a standard 3-prong (NEMA 5 -15R) grounded wall receptical to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance. Have the wall
receptical and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the it is
properly grounded. When a old style 2-prong wall receptical is encountered, it is
your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong receptical. The ice maker should always be plugged into its dedicated
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This
provides the best performance and also prevents overloading wiring circuits which
can be a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
5
receptical. Rep air or replace i mmediately all po wer cords that have become fr ayed
or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. When moving the ice maker, be careful not to
damage the power cord.
Extension Cord DO NOT use an extention cord with this appliance.

Location Re quirements
4”
To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed. Allow at least 4” (101mm) clearance at rear, and 0.6”
(15mm) at the top and sides for proper air circulation. The installation should
allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing
dimensions shown. Place electrical and water supplies and drain fixtures in the
recommended locations as shown.
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F (13°C) and below
90°F (32°C). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements,
such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 6.35mm (¼ in.)
soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve. A gravity-drain system provided with the
unit can be used.
NOTE: Runoff water can also be drained into a sink via a pump – not included – when a gravity
drain is not available.
The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with pressure between 14.5psi
and 72.5psi (0.1 MPa and 0.5 MPa). The temperature of the water feeding into the
ice maker should be between 41°F (5°C) and 77°F (25°C) for proper operation.
