WARNING
This icemaker should be destined only to the use for which it has been expressly
conceived. Any other use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting from improper,
incorrect, and unreasonable use. Failure to install, operate, and maintain the equipment
in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance, component
life, and warranty coverage and may result in costly water damage.
To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire, follow basic
precautions including the following:
• Only qualified service technicians should install and service the icemaker.
• This icemaker must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local
codes and regulations.
• This unit requires an independent power supply. See the nameplate for proper voltage
and breaker/fuse size. Failure to use a proper breaker or fuse can result in a tripped
breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to
heat generation or fire.
• THIS UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED: This unit is equipped with a 3-prong grounding
plug to reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. It must be plugged into a properly
grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is
your personal responsibility to have a qualified electrician replace it with a properly
grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the
power cord and do not use an adapter plug.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position
before plugging in or unplugging the unit.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the power switch or plug with damp
hands.
• Do not use a unit with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not be altered,
jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions could result in
electric shock or fire. To unplug the unit, be sure to pull the plug, not the cord, and do
not jerk the cord.
• Do not make any alterations to the unit. Alterations could result in electric shock, injury,
fire, or damage to the unit.
• Do not place fingers or any other objects into the ice discharge opening.
