Franklin Industries, L.L.C. fim35 Ice Maker User Manual


 
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 VAC only, 60 Hz, 15 A), properly grounded in
accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet.
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 amperes.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It 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,
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 qualified electrician.
Leveling the Ice Maker
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in
order to work properly. Otherwise, water may not
flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold).
Ice production will be less than normal, and
operation will be noisy. The ice maker can be
raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths
around each of the four rolling casters on the
bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface
is not level, rotate the casters until the ice maker
becomes level. (See illustration.) You may need to
make several adjustments to level it. We
recommend using a carpenters level to check the
machine.
1. Place a carpenters level on top of the ice maker to see if the machine is level
from front to back and side to side.
2. Adjust the height of the casters as follows:
Turn the leveling caster to the right to lower that side of the ice maker.
Turn the leveling caster to the left to raise that side of the ice maker.
You will find that the casters make it easy for one person to move the machine. This is
useful for cleaning and sanitizing the surface on which the ice maker is installed because
it allows you to move the unit and have easy access to the surface to be cleaned.
