IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS aWARNINGa FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN USING YOUR ICE MAKER. • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE ICE MAKER. • DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT. CHILD ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION ARE NOT PROBLEMS OF THE PAST. JUNKED OR ABANDONED APPLIANCES ARE STILL DANGEROUS. • BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR ICE MAKER: TAKE OFF THE DOOR. • NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE, PLAY WITH, OR CRAWL INSIDE THE APPLIANCE. • NEVER CLEAN ICE MAKER PARTS WITH FLAMMABLE FLUIDS. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION. • DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ¾ BEFORE USING YOUR ICE MAKER • REMOVE THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR PACKING. • CHECK TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PARTS: • 1 ICE BUCKET • 1 PLASTIC SCOOP • 1 HOSE, 25 FT. • 1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL • BEFORE CONNECTING THE ICE MAKER TO THE POWER SOURCE, LET IT STAND UPRIGHT FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A MALFUNCTION IN THE COOLING SYSTEM FROM HANDLING DURING TRANSPORTATION. • CLEAN THE INTERIOR SURFACE WITH LUKEWARM WATER USING A SOFT CLOTH. ¾ INSTALLATION OF YOUR ICE MAKER • THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO VENT HOT AIR THROUGH THE FRONT VENT. THIS ALLOWS FOR INSTALLATION IN A RECESSED OR BUILT-IN APPLICATION, IF DESIRED. • PLACE YOUR ICE MAKER ON A LEVEL SURFACE THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE ICE MAKER WHEN IT IS FULLY LOADED. REMEMBER THAT THE UNIT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER ONCE IT IS OPERATIONAL AND FULLY LOADED. LEVEL YOUR ICE MAKER BY ADJUSTING THE LEGS AT THE FRONT OF THE ICE MAKER. • LOCATE THE ICE MAKER AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SOURCES OF HEAT (STOVE, HEATER, RADIATOR, ETC.). DIRECT SUNLIGHT MAY AFFECT THE FINISH AND HEAT SOURCES MAY INCREASE ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION. EXTREME COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ICE MAKER MALFUNCTION. THIS ICE MAKER IS DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION INDOORS IN "ROOM TEMPERATURE" AMBIENT CONDITIONS. • AVOID LOCATING THE ICE MAKER IN MOIST/HUMID AREAS. TOO MUCH MOISTURE IN THE AIR WILL CAUSE FROST TO FORM QUICKLY ON THE EVAPORATOR REQUIRING FREQUENT DEFROSTING. • PLUG THE ICE MAKER INTO AN EXCLUSIVE PROPERLY INSTALLED GROUNDED WALL OUTLET. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING POWER AND/OR GROUNDING SHOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARD A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN. 1
