IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and installed
as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. SUMMIT
Appliance strongly recommends that you have a professional install your
new machine. The warranty may be affected or voided by an improper
installation. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when
using the ice maker, follow basic precautions, including the following:
 Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet; do not remove grounding prong, do not use an
adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
 It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided.
Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
 Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
 Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. Their fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion.
 Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power
line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off. (EXCEPTION: When
cleaning the machine’s ice making system – see pages 22-23.)
 Before operating, put all panels back into place.
 Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do
so can result in electrical shock or death.
 Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your ice maker unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
 When you disassemble the front cover, do not use too much force, as the wire leads
connected to the power switch can be inadvertently disconnected.
 Use two or more people to move and install the ice maker. Failure to do so can result
in back or other injury.
 To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55ºF
(13ºC) and below 80ºF (27ºC). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from
the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
