PREPARING YOUR ICE MAKER FOR USE
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons or property. Read all instructions before
using any appliance.
z
Do not operate this or any other appliance with a damaged cord.
Connect to properly polarized outlets only. No other appliance should be plugged into the
same outlet. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the receptacle.
z
Do not run cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the cord. Keep cord
away from traffic areas, and do not submerge in water.

We do not recommend the use of an extension cord, as it may overheat and become a
fire risk. If you must use an extension cord, use a cord of No.14 AWG minimum size and
rated for no less than 1875 watts.

Unplug the ice maker before cleaning it or making repairs.
z
Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when appliance is used near children.
