When using your XO Ice Maker outdoors - follow these additional steps.
In outdoor installations care must be taken to protect the unit from excessive heat or direct
sun, dusty or damp conditions or in a location where it may be rained on or splashed by water.
The unit must be connected to a grounded circuit. If the installation is outdoor it must be
protected by a Ground Fault Interupter (GFI). If you are uncertain if the circuit is correctly
grounded and protected, consult a licensed electrician.
These units are designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 50 and 90 F.
As the ambient temperature approaches either extreme the production capacity of the ice
maker will be reduced. This is normal and expected.
Never install the unit where flammable or corrosive chemicals (such as pool chemicals)
are present.
Installation in seaside environments where high concentrations of salt, or in pool areas where
high concentrations of chlorine are present will require more frequent cleaning to avoid
corrosion.
Use in any uncontrolled area or otherwise exposed to the elements is hazardous and voids the
warranty.
In regions where high humidity exists condensation may appear on the door and/or gasket
seals.
CAUTION: Exposing the Ice Maker to freezing ambient temperatures can cause water
throughout the installation to freeze where it is not supposed to and may result in
damage to the unit.
Seasonally, once temperatures at the coldest part of the day begin to approach 40 F
you should take steps to winterize your ice maker following the steps in this manual.

Different regions of the country can have radically different seasonal weather which can affect
performance
and the influence your selection for the physical location of the unit.
