PREPARING YOUR ICE MAKER FOR USE

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons or property. Read all instructions before using any appliance.

• Do not operate this or any other appliance with a damaged cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. This ice-maker must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. Connect to properly polarized outlets only. No other appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the electrical outlet.
• Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the cord. Keep the cord away from traffic areas, and do not submerge it in water.
• We do not recommend the use of an extension cord, as it may overheat and become a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, use a No. 14 AWG minimum size with a rating of no less than 1875 watts.

– CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER

*Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, please call our customer service.

1. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which connects with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
2. Plug your device into a dedicated, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Under no circumstances should you cut or remove the third (ground) pin on the power cord. Any questions about power and/or grounding should be directed to a certified electrician.
3. This appliance requires a standard 110–120V, 60 Hz, 3-prong electrical outlet.
