PREPARING THE SITE
1
Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it
is fully loaded.
2
The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not
exceed 110°F (43°C).
3
The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in direct
sunlight.
4
The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and electrical
connections in the rear of the ice maker.
5
Connect the unit to a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A circuit
(normal household current).
6
Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI). GFIs are prone to
nuisance tripping which will cause the unit to shut down. GFIs are generally not
used on circuits which power equipment that must run unattended for long
periods of time.
7
The unit must be installed according to your local codes and ordinances.

It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill
evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into
the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely. Remember that
floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.
