Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your ice maker.
Before you begin
Preparing the Ice Maker for use before you plug the ice maker in to a power supply, be sure to let it
stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compress
or’s oils to settle.
Unpacking the Ice Maker
Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your ice maker
before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to
remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your icemaker. Check to make sure
the ice scoop and hoses are included. If any parts are missing, please contact our customer service. Put
the ice maker on a level and flat surface away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat such as a
stove, furnace, radiator, etc. The appliance must be positioned so that the power plug is accessible.
REQUIREMENTS
Installation Requirements
The ice maker has been designed for free-standing installation which will allow you to install the unit in
almost any place you desire. Please make sure to follow the instructions for clearance, water and
electrical requirements.
Clearance and Environment Requirements
• Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F and below 90°F. Operation outside these
temperatures may result in lowered production or may cause other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water spray or
drips. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat sources.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface that is able to support the ice maker’s total
weight with water.
• There must be at least 4 inches of space around the back and sides of the unit for proper air
circulation.
Water Requirements
• Only use potable water or water suitable for drinking.
• The temperature of the water should be between 51°F and 90°F.
• Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level.
Note: The add water light uses an electronic sensor that may not detect purified, filtered, reverse
osmosis, or distilled water. You may need to add a pinch of salt to the water to increase the mineral
content.
Electrical Requirements
Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of this manual. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your ice maker be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or
pull chain.
The ice maker is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall
receptacle providing 110-120V, 60Hz, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility
of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a certified electrician.
