electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result
in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.
The icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply
of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing
wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or fire.
THE ICEMAKER MUST BE GROUNDED. Failure to properly ground the icemaker
could result in death or serious injury.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch with damp
hands.
Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply before
servicing. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power supply from being turned back on
inadvertently.
Do not make any alterations to the appliance. Alterations could result in electric
shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
