• 1 DOOR LATCH HOOK
• 1 DOOR LATCH BLOCK
• 1 DOOR HANDLE
• 1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL

3. BEFORE CONNECTING THE ICE MAKER TO THE POWER SOURCE, LET IT STAND UPRIGHT FORAPPROXIMATELY 4 HOURS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A MALFUNCTION IN THECOOLING SYSTEM FROM HANDLING DURING TRANSPORTATION.

4. CLEAN THE INTERIOR SURFACE WITH LUKEWARM WATER USING A SOFT CLOTH.

INSTALLING THE HANDLE

This appliance includes a stainless steel handle. To install the handle please follow the below instructions:

1. Put away the door gasket from the behind, there are two mounting holes coverer by two caps, take away the caps, the mounting screws are in the mounting holes.
2.  Align the handle with the screws installed. Tighten the screws using a Phillips head screwdriver until the handle sets both flush and secured tightly against the door frame. (DO NOT over tighten as this will cause damage to the handle assembly).
3. Recap the mounting holes, and then replace the door gasket to its original position.
4. If you choose not to use the handle supplied, simply follow step 1 to access the installation screws and remove them and then place the two decorative plugs into the two holes separately. Continue on to step 3 to replace the door gasket to its original position.
