IM PORTANT:
Plumb ing and Electrical Tip s
• A licensed plumber must install this appliance.
• This appliance must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with state
and local codes.
• This unit requires a standard electrical supply properly grounded in accordance with National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes for 115V.

• Plug the appliance into a grounded three-prong outlet. Do not remove the grounding prong, do not
use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
• Do not kink, pinch or damage the power supply cord between the ice machine and wall or cabinet.
• Before connecting the ice machine to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4
hours. Following this step will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system brought
on by handling during transportation.
• Make sure to install on level surface and ensure drain line and waterline are not kinked.

Tips on Moving and Setting up the Unit
!
CAUTION
Tip H azard
Be sure to use caution when working around an uninstalled unit. The unit is capable of
tipping over if it is not installed and properly anchored.
• Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
• Remove the packing materials and clean the appliance before using it.
Factors A󰀨ecting the Unit
• Install this unit in an area protected from the elements (for example, wind, rain, water spray or
drips).
OTE:N Do not use an ice machine intended for indoor use outside. Only use an ice machine that is intended for outdoor use
outdoors.
• The ambient operational temperature should be between 50°F (10°C) and 100°F (38°C). The
input water temperature should be between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C). Operating the machine

production. You may need to make several adjustments to level the unit. If necessary, adjust the
height of the ice machine by turning the feet. See “Leveling the Unit” on page 13.
• To ensure proper service access and ventilation, all Sapphire units should not have the grill
openings covered. There are no additional requirements for venting at the top, side or rear of the
unit.
• These units are to be installed under a counter. Follow the recommended spacing dimensions

WARNING
Fire/ Ex p losion H azard
DO NOT install in spaces containing gasoline engines, fuel tanks or fuel line ttings. This
device does not meet federal requirement for ignition protection. Failure to comply could
result in injury or death.
A built-in installation will allow you to install the ice machine under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet
if you respect the required clearance space around the clear ice machine. The appliance must be
located to allow clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the unit.
BUILT-IN CABINET DIMENSIONS
A built-in installation requires for a water line and plug clearance for proper operation. A built-in unit is
designed for zero clearance at the top and each side of the unit. The unit uses fan-forced condenser
cooling, which requires air circulation through the lower section of the unit.
OTE:N To ensure proper service access and ventilation, all SAPPHIRE units should not have the grill openings covered. There
are no additional requirements for venting at the top, side or rear of the unit.

NOTICE
• If you remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the unit, reinstall the mounting screws into the
bottom of the cabinet to avoid damage to components mounted to the base pan.
•Ensure that the air path for the grill remains unrestricted. Any restriction of airow through
the grill will disrupt normal operation of the unit, resulting in damage to components, and
voids warranty.
• Connect the unit to a potable water supply only.
• The minimum distance the unit needs to be installed when adjacent to a wall is 7.5 in. (190
mm) is required to obtain full swing (135°) of the door and 2.75 in. (70 mm) when using the
