it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull

Leveling the Ice Maker It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the four rolling casters on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the casters until the ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine. You will find that the casters make it easy for one perso

Connecting the water line: 1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water. 2. Find a 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less than 10 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 10 feet. 3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper tubing, attach a ¼” O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove th

Installation Types This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing) installation. It can also be Enclosed (as under a cabinet) or Built-in (sealed to the floor), although this last option is not the preferred method of installation. In every case, there must be adequate air space around the unit for ventilation purposes (see diagrams on page 8). Mobile Installation: A mobile installation will allow you to install the icemaker free-standing in any place you desire provided you have

Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has stopped. Two other components have been energized: the hot gas valve and the water inlet valve. These two valves open and warm up the freezing surface, allowing the cubes to fall into the bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested. How the machine uses water: The ice maker Evaporator begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the Water pump water sump. As t
