GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The ice maker must
be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the ice maker is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to
the ice maker – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED ICE MAKER RATED LESS THAN 15A AND
INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
The ice maker is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected to a
grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a temporary
adaptor is not recommended.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
