accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. The 
ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet. 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. The fuse (or circuit breaker) 
size should be 20 amperes.

 

Recommended grounding method 

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. The power supply cord (not 
included) must have a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord 
must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in 
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating 
wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a 
properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
