WARNING

•  Use two or more people to move and install the 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. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 45°F (7°C) and below 

110°F (43°C).

•  Placing the ice maker at least 24′′ from high heat sources (fireplaces, grills, ovens, etc.) will ensure 

minimal energy consumption.

•  The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with 

state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 A), 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.

•  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.

•  Make certain that hoses are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.

•  Check for leaks after water line is connected.

•  Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, 

the first batch of cubes must be discarded.

•  Remove the packing materials and clean the ice maker before using.

•  Turn on the water supply tap before switching on the ice maker. Never turn the water supply tap off 

when the ice maker is working. Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed in order to 

reduce ice melting and to promote proper ice formation.

•  If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, before the next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. 

Follow carefully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution. Do not leave any 

solution inside the ice maker after cleaning.

•  DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may 

transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.

•  The ice machine cleaner contains acids. Do not use or mix with any other solvent-based cleaning 

products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the safety instructions on the container 

of the ice machine cleaner.

•  Do not use the apparatus other than for its intended purpose.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

EXTENSION CORD

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal 

safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 

3-prong grounding plug that mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility 

of electric shock hazard from the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician 

to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your 

responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The ice maker 

should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the 

rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring 

circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the 

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Repair or replace immediately all 

power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion 

damage along its length or at either end. When moving the ice maker, be careful not to damage the power cord.

The technical data and performance index listed above should be used for reference only.

They are subject to change.

*The actual quantity of ice produced per day can vary with environment and water conditions.
