WARNING
DANGER
!
CAUTION
This ice maker should be desned only to
the use for which it has been expressly conceived. Any other
use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for eventual
damage caused by improper, incorrect, and unreasonable
use. To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury,
or re, follow basic precauons including the following:
▪This unit requires an independent power supply. See the
nameplate for proper voltage and breaker/fuse size. Failure
to use a proper breaker or fuse can result in a tripped
breaker, blown fuse, or damage to exisng wiring. This
could lead to heat generaon or re.
▪THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED: This unit is
equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug to reduce the
risk of potenal shock hazards. It must be plugged into a
properly grounded, independent wall outlet. If the outlet is
a 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have
a qualied electrician replace it with a properly grounded,
independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not remove the
ground prong from the power cord and do not use an
adapter plug.
▪Do not use an extension cord.
▪Make sure the control switch is in the “OFF” posion
before plugging in or unplugging the unit to reduce the risk
of electric shock.
▪Do not use a unit with a damaged power cord. The power
cord should not be altered, jerked, bundled, weighed
down, pinched, or tangled. Such acons could result in
electric shock or re. To unplug the unit, be sure to pull the
plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
▪To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the plug
or control switch with damp hands.
▪This unit should be disassembled or repaired only by
qualied service personnel to reduce the risk of electric
shock, injury, or re.
▪Do not make any alteraons to the unit. Alteraons could
result in electric shock, injury, re, or damage to the unit.

SETUP
1. Posion the appliance in the selected permanent
locaon.
2. Level the appliance from side-to-side and front-to-rear
by adjusng the feet.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electrical connecon must meet naonal,
state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet
these code requirements could result in death, electric shock,
serious injury, re, or damage.
The appliance requires an independent
power supply of proper capacity. See the nameplate for
electrical specicaons. Failure to use an independent power
supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker,
blown fuse, damage to exisng wiring, or component failure.
This could lead to heat generaon or re.
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED:
The appliance is equipped with a NEMA 5-15 three-prong
grounding plug to reduce the risk of potenal shock hazards.
It must be plugged into a properly grounded, independent
3-prong wall outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility to have a qualied electrician replace
it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord and
do not use an adapter plug. Failure to properly ground the
appliance could result in death or serious injury.
Do not use an extension cord.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
touch the control switch or plug with damp hands. Make sure
the control switch is in the “OFF” posion before plugging in
or unplugging the appliance.
Do not use an appliance with a damaged
power cord. The power cord should not be altered, jerked,
bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such acons
could result in electric shock or re. To unplug the appliance,
be sure to pull the plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the
cord.
The GREEN ground wire in the factory-
installed power cord is connected to the appliance. If it
becomes necessary to remove or replace the power cord, be
sure to connect the power cord’s ground wire to this screw
upon reaachment.

PERLICK RESIDENTIAL ICE MAKER MANUAL
WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS
A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be
required in some areas.
A water supply line shut-o valve and drain valve must be
installed.
Be sure there is sucient extra water supply line and drain line
for the appliance to be pulled out for service.
Drain line should not be piped directly to the sewer system.
Water line installaon to the appliance is not
warranted by Perlick.
Water-hammer issues must be resolved
by a qualied plumber before installing the appliance. Water
hammer can cause appliance damage that may lead to water
leakage or ooding.
A minimum of 1/2” nominal ID hard pipe
or equivalent is required for the drain line. Installing a smaller
diameter drain line will reduce water ow and may lead to
water leakage or ooding.
If using the oponal drain pump (63802A),
test its operaon every me the appliance is cleaned and
sanized. See “IV.E. Oponal Drain Pump 63802A” for details. If
the oponal drain pump is not operang properly, water could
back up and overow, leading to costly water damage.
Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician
are required.
The maximum allowable voltage variaon is ±10 percent of the
nameplate rang.
For oponal drain pump (63802A) installaon, refer to the
instrucons included with the pump.
WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
Water supply and drain connecons must
be installed in accordance with applicable naonal, state, and
local regulaons.
Normal operang water temperature must be
within 45°F to 95°F (7°C to 35°C). Operaon of the appliance,
for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature range
may aect appliance performance.
Water supply pressure must be a minimum
of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG. If the pressure exceeds
113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required.
External lters, strainers, or soeners may be
required depending on water quality. Contact your local Perlick
Cered Service Representave or local Perlick distributor for
recommendaons.
Connect to potable water supply only. Do not
connect to a hot-water supply.
In areas where water damage is a concern,
install in a contained area with a oor drain.
