E. Electrical Connection
WARNING
For All Models
• Electrical connection must be hard-wired and must meet national, state, and local
electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result
in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.
• The icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See
the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power
supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to
existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or fire.
•
THE ICEMAKER MUST BE GROUNDED. Failure to properly ground the icemaker
could result in death or serious injury.
• Electrical connection must be made in accordance with the instructions on the
"WARNING" tag, provided with the pig tail leads in the junction box. See Fig. 7.
Additional Warnings for Remote Models
•
THE REMOTE CONDENSER UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED. Power supply and
ground connection to the remote condenser unit are supplied from the icemaker.
See "II.G.6. Electrical Connection." Failure to properly ground the remote
condenser unit could result in death or serious injury.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, make all remote condenser unit connections
before connecting the icemaker power supply.
NOTICE
On remote models, the appliance must have power for a minimum of 4 hours prior
to startup to prevent compressor damage.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
• The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10 percent of the nameplate rating.
•
NOTICE! On single phase KM-1301S_J models, the main transformer’s voltage tap
switch must be positioned to match incoming voltage at startup.
•
NOTICE! On single phase KM-1601S_J and KM-1900S_J models, the white lead must
be connected to the neutral conductor of the power source. Miswiring may result in
severe damage to the icemaker.
•
NOTICE! On three phase models, the main transformer’s voltage tap switch must be
positioned to match incoming voltage at startup.
•
NOTICE! On three phase models, connect the highest incoming voltage supply
("stinger leg") to the power wire dedicated to the compressor. See the wiring label
on the icemaker.
• The opening for the power supply connection is 7/8" DIA to fit a 1/2" trade size conduit.
