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.

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

1.Place a carpenter’s 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.
