It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need
to make several adjustments to level it.
•
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
•
Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installa-
tion.
•
Check for leaks after connection.
•
Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and stor-
age, 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 thor-
oughly cleaned. Follow carefully 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 fins. The condenser fins are sharp and can be easily
damaged.
•
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These clean-
ers may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.
•
The ice machine cleaner contains acids. DO NOT use or mix with any other solvent-
based cleaner products. Use rubber gloves to protect hand. Carefully read the material
safety instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
•
Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
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 responsibility 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 elec-
trical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house 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 oth-
erwise 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.
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.
