Preparing the Site
IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt pre- maturely. Remember that floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.
1Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.
2The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not exceed 110°F (43°C).
3The unit must not be located near heat- generating equipment or in direct sunlight.

4The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice maker.
5Connect the unit to a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A circuit (normal household current).
6Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI). GFIs are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the unit to shut down. GFIs are generally not used on circuits which power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time.
7The unit must be installed according to your local codes and ordinances.
NOTE
The door of the unit may be mounted on either side of the cabinet (see REVERSING THE DOOR). All units require zero clearance when installed flush with a cabinet or wall (see Figure 2). Electrolux stainless steel models require
