• This appliance must be grounded.
• This equipment must be positioned so that the plug
is accessible unless other means for disconnection
from the power supply (e.g., circuit breaker or
disconnect switch) is provided.
• Check all wiring connections, including factory
terminals, before operation. Connections can
become loose during shipment and installation.

nWarning
Follow these precautions to prevent personal injury
during installation of this equipment:
• Installation must comply with all applicable
equipment fire and health codes with the authority
having jurisdiction.
• To avoid instability the installation area must be
capable of supporting the combined weight of the
equipment and product. Additionally the equipment
must be level side to side and front to back.
• Ice machines require a deflector when installed on
an ice storage bin. Prior to using a non-OEM ice
storage system with this ice machine, contact the
bin manufacturer to assure their ice deflector is
compatible.
• Remove all removable panels before lifting and
installing and use appropriate safety equipment
during installation and servicing. Two or more
people are required to lift or move this appliance to
prevent tipping and/or injury.
• Do not damage the refrigeration circuit when
installing, maintaining or servicing the unit.

nWarning
Follow these precautions to prevent personal injury
while operating or maintaining this equipment.
• Legs or casters must be installed and the legs/casters
must be screwed in completely. When casters
are installed the mass of this unit will allow it to

the rear. Lock the front casters after installation is
complete.
• Some 50 Hz models may contain up to 150 grams
of R290 (propane) refrigerant. R290 (propane)
is flammable in concentrations of air between
approximately 2.1% and 9.5% by volume (LEL lower
explosion limit and UEL upper explosion limit). An
ignition source at a temperature higher than 470°C
is needed for a combustion to occur.
• Refer to nameplate to identify the type of refrigerant
in your equipment.
• Only trained and qualified personnel aware of the
dangers are allowed to work on the equipment.
