*Toprevent damage to thewatersupply line, drain theIceMaker when airtemperatureis
below freezing, See section 8.
* This Ice Maker requires no clearance at either side. But allow enough space at rear for
watersupply and drainconnections and atleast15" (approx. 38cm) clearance atfront.
3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
THISAPPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
This Ice Maker requires a ground that meets the national and local electrical
code requirements. To prevent possible severe electrical shock injury to
individuals or extensive damage to equipment, install a proper ground wire to
thisIceMaker. Removetheplugfromthemainssocketbeforeanymaintenance,
repairs or cleaning is undertaken.
* This Ice Maker must be plugged into the separated power receptacle which has enough
capacity.Themaximum allowable voltagevariationshould not exceed±10 percent ofthe
nameplate rating. See the Nameplate.
*If electrical service totheoutlet is not adequate,an electrical permit andservicesof a
licensedelectrician are required.
2. LOCATION
WARNING
Normal operating ambient temperature should be within 45°F (7°C) to 100°F
(38°C); Normal operating water temperature should be within 45°F (7°C) to
95°F (35°C). Operation of the Ice Maker, for extended periods, outside of
these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
For best operating results:
* The Ice Maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing
equipment.
*The location should provideafirm foundation for theequipment. Levelthe Ice Maker from
side to side and front to rear.

To prevent damage to the freezer mechanism, do not operate this Ice Maker
when the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG (0.7 bar),
the recommended water pressure. Stop the Ice Maker until proper water
pressure is resumed.
*Attachthebrassfittingincludedintheaccessory bag as shown in Fig. 5. The brass fitting
sizeis a 1/2" FPTand must beconnectedonly to a potablewater supply.
* A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve must be installed.
* Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG (0.7 bar) and a maximum of 113
PSIG (7.5 bar). If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG (7.5 bar), use a pressure reducing
valve.
* Drain outlet hose is 5/8" (16mm) ID and internally connected with 2/3" (17mm) OD drain
outlet.
