Franklin Industries, L.L.C. FIM200 Ice Maker User Manual


 
10
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 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 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
Once the ice cube machine is set in its enclosure, if the base is not level, you can adjust
the feet by rotating the under block (see below) until the machine is level.
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled, or water may not flow properly through
the
evaporator (ice mold). Ice production will be lower than normal, and operation will be
noisy.
Adjust the height of the under block of the adjustable foot, rotating it to the right
(counter- clockwise) to lower that side of the ice maker. Turning the under block to the
left (clockwise) raises that side of the ice maker.
Water Supply
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure
should be a minimum of 15 psig with a static pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall
outlet directly behind the ice maker will make installation easier.)
We strongly recommended the use of a water filter. A filter, if it is of the proper type, can
remove taste and odors as well as particles and can prolong the life of the machine
.
