Before the ice/water dispenser is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described
in this manual, so read the manual carefully. Accucold® by Summit Appliance strongly recommends that
you have a professional install your new machine. The warranty may be affected or voided by an incorrect
installation. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the ice/water dispenser 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 unplug the dispenser by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
• Never clean dispenser parts with flammable fluids. 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.
• Before operating, put all panels back into place.
• Never allow children to operate, play with the ice dispenser.
• Do not touch the evaporator with your hand when the machine is operating.
• Unplug the ice dispenser 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 dispenser unless it is specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Use two or more people to move and install the ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such as a closed cabinet. 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 50°F (10°C) and below 100°F (38°C). The optimum supplied
water temperature would be below 50°F. This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the
elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The dispenser is for indoor use only.
• The dispenser should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• The dispenser must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with state and
local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC, 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 between the dispenser and cabinet.
• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
• It is important for the dispenser to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water may not flow
properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less than normal. You may need
to make several adjustments to level it.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
