SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the Safety Alert Symbol. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the words “DANGER” or “WARNING”

These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
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.

• 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 receptacle.
• Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the cord. Keep cord away from traffic areas, and do not submerge 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 No.14AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 watts.

• Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when the appliance is used near children.

   “CLEAN” button again to turn of the function.

3. Once the cleaning process has ended, drain the excess water by positioning the ice maker near a drainage source. Remove the drain plug from the back, pull out the plug from the drainpipe and let the water drain out completely. Then reinsert the plug.

Note: Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure the water you are using is clean. If the unit isn’t going to be used for an extended period of time, drain all water & dry the water reservoir.

HOW TO MAKE ICE

1. Check the drainpipe behind the appliance and make sure the water drain cap has been inserted into the drainpipe; otherwise, the appliance will not work properly.

3. Press the “ICE” button again and the ice maker will stop making ice.
