Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and 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. 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. 

 

Make certain that hoses are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.   

 

Check for leaks after water line is connected. 

 

Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and 
storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded. 

 

Remove the packing materials and clean the ice maker before using. 

 

Turn on the water supply tap before switching on the ice maker. Never turn the water 
supply tap off when the ice maker is working. 

 

Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed in order to reduce ice melting and 
to promote proper ice formation.   

 

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 easily damaged. 

 

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 
cleaners products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the safety 
instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner. 

 

Do not use the apparatus other than for 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 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.
