Electrical Safety
•
Do not exceed the power outlet ratings.
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove the grounding prong, use an adapter, or use an
extension cord.
•
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use outlets that
cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•
Do not plug or unplug the unit when your hands are wet.
•
Never unplug the ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
•
Before proceeding with cleaning, maintenance, or service, make sure the unit’s power line is
disconnected and the water line is shut off. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

Unplug the unit if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
•
Do not operate the unit with a power plug missing the ground plug, a damaged cord, or a loose
socket.

the unit by switching the circuit’s power on and off.
