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. SUMMIT
Appliance strongly recommends that you have a professional install your
new machine. The warranty may be affected or voided by an improper
installation. 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. Their 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.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power
line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off. (EXCEPTION: When
cleaning the machine’s ice making system – see pages 22-23.)
Before operating, put all panels back into place.
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, do not use too much force, as the wire leads
connected to the power switch can be inadvertently disconnected.
Use two or more people to move and install the ice maker. Failure to do so can result
in back or other 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 55ºF
(13ºC) and below 80ºF (27ºC). 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 and local codes and ordinances is required.
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord or drain lines between the ice maker
and the cabinet.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size 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 hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during
installation.
Check for leaks after 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. Follow carefully any instructions 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. They are sharp and can be damaged easily.
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. Carefully read
the material safety instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
● Do not use this apparatus for 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 grounding plug that mates with a
standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall
outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The ice maker should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating
label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the
4
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
ice maker, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended
that you do not use an extension cord with this ice maker.

ICE MAKER INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the rating label on your
ice maker.
Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
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.
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 ice maker.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your ice maker before
using it. See “Interior Cleaning” in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
Location Requirements
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES:

• To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Allow at least 101 mm (4”) clearance at rear, and 15 mm (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.
• 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 55ºF (13ºC) and below 80ºF (27ºC).
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 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) soft
copper tubing with a shut-off valve and a gravity-drain system.
(NOTE: Run-off 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 a minimum pressure of 20psig and a
static pressure not to exceed 80psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice
maker should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC) for proper operation.
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 55ºF
(13ºC) to 80ºF (27ºC). Normal operating water temperature
should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC). Operation of
the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal
temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
• 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 recommended.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance
with state and local codes.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice maker to be
leveled in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by
revolving the feet. See the Leveling the Ice Maker section.
