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 (115V AC only, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance
with the 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 a
receptacle 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. 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-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 will not flow
properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The
ice production will be less than normal, and may
be noisy. The unit 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. 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 unit to see if the ice maker is level from front to
back and side to side .
2. Adjust the height of the casters as follows:
Turn the leveling casters to the right to lower that side of the ice maker.
Turn the leveling casters 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.
IMPORTANT: When the ice maker is ready to be installed in a cabinet or directly on the
