SAFETY INFORMATION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The ice maker must
be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the ice maker is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to
the ice maker – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED ICE MAKER RATED LESS THAN 15A AND
INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
The ice maker is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected to a
grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a temporary
adaptor is not recommended.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.

SAFETY INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. It is recommended to have a qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord; extreme
care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
c) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top
or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to
the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical
connection procedures.
WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
It is important the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet. if the plug does not fit securely
and appears loose, it should not be used. Have a licensed electrician replace the
receptacle.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH ICE MAKER
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a third-wire
ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect the ice maker, a voltage drop
occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage
being supplied to the ice maker and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or
reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage
drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate the ice
maker. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.
Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
Ampere Rating
Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
120V 25 (7.6) 50 (15.2) 100 (30.5) 150 (45.7)

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or
frayed cords because they can cause electrical shock.
WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using
an excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.

INFORMATION SUR LA SÉCURITÉ
GARDEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
USAGE MÉNAGER UNIQUEMENT
INSTRUCTIONS DE MISE À LA TERRE
En cas de mauvais fonctionnement ou de rupture d’isolation, la mise à la terre fournit
un chemin de moindre résistance pour le courant électrique afin de réduire le risque
de choc électrique. La machine à glace doit être connectée à un cordon doté d’un
conducteur de mise à la terre et d’une fiche de mise à la terre. La fiche doit être
branchée dans une prise appropriée qui est correctement installée et mise à la terre
conformément à tous les codes et ordonnances locaux.
DANGER: Une mauvaise connexion du conducteur de mise à la terre de
l’équipement peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique. Le conducteur avec
isolation ayant une surface extérieure verte avec ou sans rayures jaunes est le
conducteur de mise à la terre de l’équipement. Si la réparation ou le remplacement
du cordon ou de la fiche est nécessaire, ne connectez pas le conducteur de mise à
la terre de l’équipement à une borne sous tension. Vérifiez auprès d’un électricien ou
d’un technicien qualifié si les instructions de mise à la terre ne sont pas complètement
comprises, ou en cas de doute quant à savoir si l’appareil est correctement mis à la
terre. Ne modifiez pas la fiche connectée à l’appareil - si elle ne correspond pas à la
prise, faites installer une prise appropriée par un électricien qualifié.
POUR UN APPAREIL MIS À LA TERRE, RACCORDÉ PAR CORDON ÉVALUÉ
INFÉRIEUR À 15A ET CONÇU POUR UNE UTILISATION SUR UN CIRCUIT
D’ALIMENTATION NOMINAL DE 120V.
La machine à glace est conçue à être utilisée sur un circuit nominal de 120V et doit
être connectée à une prise mise à la terre qui ressemble à celle illustrée ci-dessous.
L’utilisation d’un adaptateur temporaire n’est pas recommandée.
AVERTISSEMENT
Une mauvaise utilisation de la prise mise à la terre peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique
Consultez un électricien ou un technicien qualifié si:
1) Les instructions de mise à la terre ne sont pas complètement comprises.
2) Vous n’êtes pas sûr que l’appareil soit correctement mis à la terre.
3) Vous avez des questions sur la mise à la terre ou les instructions électriques.

Page 20Page 20
INFORMATION SUR LA SÉCURITÉ
ALIMENTATION ÉLECTRIQUE
1. Évitez d’utiliser une rallonge à cause des risques potentiels pour la sécurité sous
certaines conditions. Il est recommandé de faire installer une prise de courant à
proximité de l’appareil par un électricien ou un technicien qualifié.
2. S’il est absolument nécessaire d’utiliser des cordons plus longs ou une rallonge; une
extrême prudence doit être exercée.
a) Utilisez uniquement une rallonge à 3 fils de type mise à la terre qui a une prise de
terre à 3 broches et une prise à 3 fentes qui acceptera la fiche de l’appareil.
b) Les caractéristiques électriques marquées du jeu de cordon ou de la rallonge
doivent être égales ou supérieure à la puissance électrique de l’appareil.
c) Le cordon le plus long doit être disposé de manière à ce qu’il ne tombe pas sur le
comptoir ou dessus de table où il peut être tiré dessus par des enfants ou trébucher
dessus par inadvertanc
REMARQUE: Ni BLACK+DECKER ni le marchand ne peuvent accepter aucune
responsabilité pour les dommages au produit ou des blessures résultant
du non-respect des procédures de connexion.
AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D’INCENDIE
Il est important que la fiche s’insère fermement dans la prise murale. Si la fiche ne
s’insère pas fermement et semble lâche, il ne doit pas être utilisé. Demandez à un
électricien agréé de remplacer le réceptacle.
UTILISATION DE RALLONGES AVEC LA MACHINE À GLACE
Utilisez uniquement une rallonge mise à la terre d’au moins 15 ampères et dotée
d’un troisième fil de terre. Lorsqu’une longue rallonge est utilisée pour connecter
la machine à glace, une chute de tension se produit. Plus le cordon est long, plus la
chute de tension est importante. Cela réduit la tension fournie à la machine à glace et
augmente la quantité de courant (ampères) consommé ou réduit les performances.
Un plus gros cordon avec un fil plus gros réduira la chute de tension. Assurez-vous de
choisir un cordon qui fournira une tension susante pour faire fonctionner la machine
à glace. Le tableau ci-dessous indique le calibre approprié pour les rallonges.
