PROPER DISPOSAL OF
THE OLD ICE MACHINE

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned ice machines are
still dangerous, even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of your old ice machine,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD ICE MACHINE, TAKE
OFF THE DOORS.

WARNING & SAFETY LABELS

CAUTION:

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old ice machine may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away
your old ice machines, make sure the CFC refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a qualified service.
If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of the environment legislation.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED. 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 electrical outlet must be within three feet of
the center of the back wall of the ice maker’s final
location. Outlet must be flush with wall and comply
with local electrical codes.

Before your new unit is connected to a power supply,
check the incoming voltage with a volt meter. If
anything less than 100% of the rated voltage for
operation is noted, correct immediately.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with
a standard three-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance. A 115V AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit
breaker and electrical supply are required.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.

If the outlet is a standard
two-prong outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with the properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Do not use an extension cord or
two-prong adaptor. Electrical ground
is required on this appliance.

The unit should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate. 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 machine 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 ice
machine away from the wall, be careful not to roll over
or damage the power cord.

The unit is approved by UL for outdoor installation
inside a cabinet enclosure with a minimum clearance
of ¼” at the top.
