CAUTION

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. 

Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent 

cabinets and counter top can be installed around the 

appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed. 

Overlay door models with articulated hinges are intended 

for built-in applications only. 

!

CAUTION

Outdoor Installation

Do not install in a location where the ice machine will 

be exposed to direct sun exposure as this may result in 

unsatisfactory performance.

CARE AND USE/INSTALLATION

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of 

your appliance. We recommend a location where the ice 

machine will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat 

sources. To ensure your product performs to specifications, 

the recommended installation location temperature range 

is from 55 to 90°F (13 to 32°C) for built in ice machines and 

55 to 100°F (13 to 38°C) for freestanding ice machines. 

Ice machines will not perform correctly in ambient 

temperatures less than 55°F (13°C).

Front Grille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the 

front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat 

exchanger. Restrictions to this air flow will result in 

increased energy usage, loss of cooling capacity and low 

ice production. For this reason it is important this area not 

be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. Lynx Grills 

does not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air 

flow may be restricted. (See Figure 2).

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the 

appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on 

the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The 

overall height of your Lynx appliance may be adjusted 

higher (by turning the leveling leg out) and lower (by turning 

the leveling leg in). Cabinet height adjustment dimensions 

are shown in Table "A".

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid 

surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid 

scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, 

lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs. 

Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning 

the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the 

appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check 

the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.

The front grille screws may be loosened to raise and 

lower the grille to the desired height. When adjustment is 

complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

WARNING

WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of 

the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still 

dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please 

follow the instructions below to help prevent 

accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or 

freezer:

•  Take off the doors or remove the drawers.

•  Leave the shelves in place so children may not 

easily climb inside.

If the appliance was shipped, handled, or stored in other 

than an upright position for any period of time, allow the 

appliance to sit upright for a period of at least 24 hours 

before plugging in. This will assure oil returns to the 

compressor. Plugging the appliance in immediately may 

cause damage to internal parts.
