ELECTRICAL CORD STRAIN RELIEF

To prevent strain at the electrical connection inside the ice machine, an electrical cord strain relief device must be installed on the rear panel of the ice machine.

1.Disassemble the strain relief device into its three components.

2.Install the cord holder through the opening in the lower right corner of the rear panel of the ice machine.

3.Hand-tighten the retaining nut onto the cord holder from inside the ice machine rear panel.

4.Slide the compression nut over the electrical cord.

5.Feed about 1.5 m (5 ft.) of electrical cord through the cord holder. (The extra cord will allow the rear panel to be removed for future service.)

6.Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the cord holder.

TERMINAL BLOCK WIRE CONNECTION

!Warning

Always disconnect power to the ice machine before working on electrical circuitry.

After the electrical cord is installed in the strain relief device, the cord must be connected to the terminal block to supply power to the ice machine.

1.Remove two Phillips head screws to remove the lower panel from the front of the ice machine.

2.Carefully reach into the ice machine and pull the electrical cord forward to the terminal block.

3.Strip away enough insulation from the electrical cord to allow for good electrical connections at the terminal block.
