Site Preparation; Preparing The Site - Electrolux UR15IM20RS Use And Care Manual

Preparing the Site

IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that the unit is
level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not
fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice
rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling
into the storage area which will cause
the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely.
Remember that floors near drains have a
tendency to slope towards the drain.
1 Position the unit on a flat, level
surface, capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Remember
that the unit will be significantly
heavier once it is fully loaded.
2 The surrounding air temperature must
be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not
exceed 110°F (43°C).
3 The unit must not be located near
heat-generating equipment or in
direct sunlight.
DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three
prong (grounding) polarized plug
for your protection against possible
shock hazards.
• NEVER remove the round
grounding prong from the plug.
• NEVER use a two-prong
grounding adapter.
• NEVER use an extension cord to
connect power to the unit.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered or a longer power cord is
required, contact a qualified electrician
to have it replaced in accordance with
applicable electrical codes.
IMPORTANT
This unit is designed for indoor use only.
4 The unit must be located to allow
clearance for water, drain and electrical
connections in the rear of the ice maker.

Site Preparation

5 Connect the unit to a grounded and
polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A
circuit (normal household current).
6 Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI). GFIs are prone
to nuisance tripping which will cause
the unit to shut down. GFIs are
generally not used on circuits which
power equipment that must run
unattended for long periods of time.
7 The unit must be installed according
to your local codes and ordinances.
NOTE
The door of this unit is not reversible
but a separate model is available with a
door that swings open in the opposite
direction. Electrolux stainless steel
models require a minimum 2-3/4 inch
handle clearance when installed against
a wall or cabinet that extends beyond
the front edge of the unit (Figure 1).
