Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This
appliance 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 prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, 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

Your ice maker has four adjustable leveling legs to help you
steady the product and make sure it is level.
NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another
person to assist you.
1. Place a carpenter's level on top of the product to see whether
the ice maker is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the
leveling legs that are on the bottom of the product.
3. Change the height of the legs as follows:
Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower that side of the
ice maker.
Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise that side of the ice
maker.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add
stability when needed.
4. Use a carpenter's level to make sure the ice maker is level
from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not
level, repeat Steps 2 and 3. If the ice maker is level, go to the
