WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY 

WHEN USING YOUR ICE MAKER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAU-

TIONS:

 

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet; do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do  not use
an extension cord.

It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only for your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that
cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

Never unplug the ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.

Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliances. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is discon-
nected and the water line is shut off.

Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the ice maker.

Do not touch the evaporator with your hand when the machine is operating.

Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical
shock or death.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your ice maker unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sen-
sory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruc-
tion concerning used of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance.

Use two or more people to move and install 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.

The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with state and local
codes. A standard electrical supply, 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.

This ice maker is designed for non-commercial use only.

Make certain that water supply hose is 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 care-
fully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution. Do not leave any solution inside the ice
maker after cleaning.

Do not touch the condenser surface. They are sharp and can be easily damaged.

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.
