IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described
in this manual, so read the manual carefully. The manufacturer strongly recom-
mends that you have a professional install your new machine. The warranty may be
affected or voided by an incorrect installation. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury
when using the ice maker, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet; do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and
do not use an extension cord.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only for your ice maker, be provided. Use re
-
ceptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug 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.
• Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. Do not store or use gasoline or other flam
-
mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliances. The fumes can create a
fire hazard or explosion.
• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off.
• Before operating, pull all panels back into place.
• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the ice maker.
• Do not touch the evaporator with your hand when the machine is operating.
• Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do
so can
result in electrical shock or death.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your ice maker unless it is specifically recom
-
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Use two or more people to move and install 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 installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance
with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet.
•
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes for 115V and 10 amperes for 230V.
• It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water
may not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less than
normal. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
