electricity? Does the unit have proper drainage?
4. Has the machine been leveled?
5. Is the ice maker in a site where the ambient temperature is between 50º F and 100º F and the
water temperature is between 41º F and 90º F all year round?
6. Has the water supply pressure been checked to ensure a minimum of 15 psig with a static
pressure not to exceed 80 psig?
7. Is there a clearance of at least 2" at the rear and
circulation?
8. Has the power supply voltage been checked or tested against the nameplate rating? And has
proper grounding been installed for the ice maker?
9. Is the ice maker plugged in?

slide down. The machine stops making ice automatically.
The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. At that time, the ice slide will

swing back to operating position.
Important:
• Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and
storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
• Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
• Never touch the evaporator when the machine is running.
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and ensure proper ice
formation.
