Electrical Shock HazardWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 ampere electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

Recommended grounding method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance 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 prong, 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.

Levelingthe Ice Maker

It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you may need to make several adjustments to level it.

Tools required

Carpenter’s level

Adjustable wrench

¹⁄₄" socket wrench

Undercounter installation

If you are installing the ice maker under a countertop, then you may need to adjust the height of the ice maker. The adjustable rear wheels are preset to position 1 for a cabinet opening height of 34" (86.4 cm).

1.For cutout height of 34" (86.4 cm)

2.For cutout height of 34¹⁄₈" (86.7 cm)

3.For cutout height of 34⁵⁄₁₆" (87.2 cm)

4.For cutout height of 34¹⁄₂" (87.6 cm)

To adjust the rear wheel height

1.Using a ¹⁄₄" socket wrench, remove the five screws from the rear access panel and carefully pull the panel away from the drain hose.

2.Using a ³⁄₈" or adjustable wrench, remove the screw that holds the rear wheel.

NOTE: Pushing up against the top back of the ice maker takes some of the weight off of the wheels. This makes it easier to remove the screws.

3.Move the rear wheel and screw to a new position as needed for your cabinet opening height. Tighten the screw completely.

4.Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to change the position of the wheel on the other side.

5.Replace the rear panel and screws. Be sure that the drain tube is positioned in the opening provided.

6.Use the front leveling legs to make sure the product is level.
