IMPORTANT

PLEASE READ all instructions completely before 
attempting to install or operate the unit.
All ice makers require a connection to both a 
water supply and an electrical power source. 
Improper hook-up can result in substantial 
property damage!  Proper installation, in 
accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications 
and all local codes, is the sole responsibility of the 
consumer.  The manufacturer is not responsible 
for any installation expenses or damages incurred 
due to improper installation.  If you are unsure of 
your ability to safely make electric power, water 
supply, and water drain connections to the unit, 
consult licensed and insured professionals to 
perform all electrical and plumbing work.

Once you have your unit installed, we suggest 
you keep this manual in a safe place for future 
reference. Should any problems occur, refer to 
the Troubleshooting section of this manual. This 
information will help you quickly identify a problem 
and get it remedied. In the event you require 
assistance, please contact the dealer where you 
purchased your unit.

Whenever you call to request information or 
service, you will need to know your model number 
and serial number. You can find this information on 
the serial plate located on the inside wall of your 
unit and on the product registration card.
