• To attain proper performance, be sure to plug the appliance into a properly grounded 115V/60 Hz outlet.
• Do not modify the power cord under any circumstances to allow the unit to be plugged into a non-grounded outlet. To avoid heat damage to the power cord, please ensure that it does not come in proximity or in direct contact with the compressor of the ice maker.
• Please avoid installing the ice maker in a location where the appliance will come in contact with water or moisture to minimize the rusting of metal parts.
