Before you Begin: Preparing the Ice Maker for Use

Before you plug the ice maker in to a power supply, be sure to let it stand
upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor's oils to settle.

Unpacking the Ice Maker

Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and
glue from your ice maker before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your icemaker. Check to make sure the
ice basket and ice scoop are included. If any parts are missing, please
contact our customer service. Put the ice maker on a level and flat surface
away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat such as a stove, furnace,
radiator, etc. The appliance must be positioned so that the power plug is
accessible.

Cleaning the Ice Maker

Follow the Cleaning and Maintenance section to clean the ice maker.

Installation Requirements

The ice maker has been designed for free-standing installation which will allow
you to install the unit in almost any place you desire provided you level the
unit and follow the instructions for clearance, water and electrical
requirements.

Clearance and Environment Requirements

• Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F and below
90°F. Operation outside these temperatures may result in lowered production
or may cause other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g.,
wind, rain, water spray or drips. The icemaker should not be located next to
ovens, grills or other high heat sources.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface that is able to support
the ice maker's total weight with water.
• There must be at least 4 inches of space around the back and sides of the
unit for proper air circulation.

Water Requirements

• Only use potable water or water suitable for drinking.
• The temperature of the water should be between 51°F and 90°F.
• Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a
reasonable hygiene level.
Note: The add water light uses an electronic sensor that may not detect
purified, filtered, reverse osmosis, or distilled water. You may need to add a
pinch of salt to the water to increase the mineral content.

Electrical Requirements

Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of this manual. 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 ice maker is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle
120V, 60Hz, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not
available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a
properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a certified
electrician.
