SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension
cord that has a three-blade grounding plug and a three-slot receptacle that
will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
INSTALLATION
- Ventilation: Do not block air vents.
- Cleaning: It is highly recommended to thoroughly clean the ice maker before first use as shown on page 5.
- Wait One Hour: Before plugging in, allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle. After plugging in power cord wait one hour before adding water to the tank.
- Power supply:
- Check your local power source. This ice maker requires a 120V, 60Hz power supply.
- Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
A. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
B. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTES:
- The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
- If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
- Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
When using a 3-pronged plug
**When using a grounding adapter, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

While the ice maker is on, check the Add Water indicator periodically. If the Add Water indicator is on, the ice maker will stop automatically. In this case, press the POWER button (to turn the unit off) and fill water up to the level mark. Wait three minutes for the refrigerant liquid to settle, then press the POWER button again (to turn on the unit again).
-
The ice maker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full in which case the ICE /ICE FULL indicator will light.
CHANGING THE WATER: Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level. If unit is not in use, drain all water left in the tank. For best results, the use of distilled water is recommended.
