  To prevent back and other types of injuries, use at least two people to move and install the ice maker.  

  Install the ice maker in a well ventilated area where the ambient temperature is above 50° F and 

below 100° F. 

  This unit is designed to be installed indoors, and protected from rain, sleet, snow, etc. 

  This unit is not intended to be used by children. 

  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this product. 

  Never allow children to crawl inside the ice maker. 

  Do not use this appliance near flammable gas or combustibles, such as gasoline, benzene, thinner, 

etc.  

  Do not place the unit near heat sources such as ovens and grills. 

  Only use in an upright position on a flat, level surface and provide proper ventilation.  

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

  Unit installation must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. 

  Make sure that the water supply lines and pipes are not pinched or kinked.
