INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Ice Maker
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
1 removable ice bin
1 plastic scoop
25 ft. hose
1 instruction manual
• Before connecting the ice maker to the power source, let it stand upright for app roximately 2 hours. This
will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm wat er using a soft cloth.
Installation of Your Ice Maker
• This appliance is designed to be either free-standing or built-in (fully recessed). If free standing, the unit
should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top and at the back to allow for adequate
ventilation. If it is built-in, leave at least 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top and 2” at the rear. Be sure
that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
• Place your ice maker on a floor that is strong enough to support the ice maker when it is fully loaded.
(Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.) To level your ice maker,
adjust the leg at the front of the unit.
• Locate the ice maker away from direct sunlight and sou rces of heat (stove, heater, radiato r, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the ice m aker not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the ice maker in moist areas. Too much moist ure in the air will cause frost to form quickly
on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the ice maker.
• Plug the ice maker into an exclusive, properly-installed grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized SUMMIT
products service center.

IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER
CORD IS DAMAGED
, HAVE IT REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED SUMMIT PRODUCTS SERVICE CENTER.
• This ice maker should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this ice maker is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the

• Never use an extension cord to connect power to t he unit.
• Never use a two-prong grounding adapter.
• When a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced
with a 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
• This ice maker requires a standard 115/120 vol ts AC, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
