Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of
this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug that mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet. The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by
pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
outlet. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either end. When moving the ice maker, be careful not to damage the power
cord.
