Electrical Requirements

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
!
• Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong.
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death.
Before you move your Ice Maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper
electrical connection:
A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles
that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 Amps.

Recommended Grounding Method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord that
has a 3-pronged grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a
mating 3-pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the
customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Warning: Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
!
power cord.
