      General Safety 

 

  Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. Do not store or use this appliance near flammable 

gas or combustibles, such as gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc. The fumes can create a fire hazard or 
an explosion. 

  This unit must be protected from any type of moisture or precipitation. 

 

Replace all of the unit’s panels before operation. 

  Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the ice maker. 

  Do not touch the ice maker mold while the machine is in use. 

  This appliance should not be used by children eight (8) years of age and younger, or people with 

reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they 
have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand 
the hazards involved. Children should not play with this appliance. 

  Use two or more people to move and install the ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other 

injury. 

  To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. 

  The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other sources of high heat. 

  The ice maker must be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water may not flow properly 

through the ice maker mold and ice production will be below the normal capacity. You may need to 
make several adjustments to level the unit. 

  All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. 

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

  Do not pinch or kink the water or power supply lines between the unit and cabinet. 

  Check for leaks after the water line is connected. 

  Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, the first batch of ice cubes must be 

discarded because of long term transit and storage. 

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

  Turn on the water supply tap before turning the ice maker on. Never turn the water supply tap off 

when the ice maker is working. 

  Only open the door to take ice from the unit. Keep the door closed as much as possible in order to 

reduce ice melting and to promote proper ice formation. 

  If the ice maker has not been used for a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned before its next use. 

Follow the cleaning instructions provided in this manual carefully. Do not leave any cleaning solutions 
inside the ice maker. 

  Do not touch the condenser fins. They are sharp and can be easily damaged. 

  Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaning agents on the interior. These cleaners may transmit 

taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior. 

  Only connect a potable water supply. 

  Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose. 

  Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
