These cleaners 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 hands. 
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. 

 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

 

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 electrical 
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 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. 

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.
