WARNING

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

WHEN USING YOUR ICE MAKER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAU-

TIONS:

 

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

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter can remove taste and odors as well as parti-
cles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized
water is not recommended.

Electrical Connection

 

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 respon-
sibility 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 boat 
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. 
If the supply card is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacture, its service agent or similarly qualified per-
sons in order to avoid a hazard. 

Extension Cord 

 

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an 
extension cord with this ice maker.
