All models must be installed with the correct wire size and type per the National Electric Code. Locate the nameplate on the back of the cabinet and find the numbers for Voltage, Phase, Minimum Circuit Ampacity and Maximum Fuse Size. Either fuses or HACR type circuit breakers may be used.
The ice maker is designed to operate on its own electrical circuit and must be individually fused. Voltage variation must not exceed the limits listed on page 2.
The remote condenser is designed to be powered from the ice machine. A separate knockout hole has been provided in the ice maker electrical junction box.
