Installation and Operation
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
WARNING
: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.
CAUTION
:
This appliance is designed for making ice cream desserts.
Place your appliance on a hard and level surface that is strong enough to support it when ingredients are
added.
Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper
air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source.
Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, grounded wall power outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding
should be directed toward a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
A freestanding installation will allow you to install the ice cream maker in any place you desire provided that the
required clearance space around the appliance is respected. In every setting, there must be an adequate ventila-
tion and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area. Allowance of at least 5 inches
(127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compres-
sor and condenser.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord
is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or contact Whynter Service Department.
This appliance requires a standard
110-120
V /
6
0Hz
electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have
the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. The
cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The appliance 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 prevent overloading
house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immedi-
ately 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 appliance, be careful not to damage the
power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with
this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-
Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury
when using your appliance, follow these basic pre-
cautions:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
