FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Electrical 3-conductor Cord Set:

This Ice Machine Plus is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a 3-prong grounding-type plug. It should be properly connected to a grounding-type outlet. The plug is designed to fit ONLY a 3-grounding outlet unit, and as such, the grounding prong should never be removed. If needed, purchase a 2-prong adaptor and ground it to the outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt. Do not use an adaptor unless you are confident it is grounded. Do not modify this plug. If the plug does not fit the outlet securely, call a qualified electrician for assistance.

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

• Ice Machine Plus Housing: The stainless steel Ice Machine Plus Housing holds the powerful internal compressor, air circulation system, interior water reservoir, and ice cube basket. The EasyVue Transparent Lid is attached.
• Air Circulation System: The air circulation system draws air in through the Air Intake and releases it out through the vents. This assists the Ice Machine Plus in cooling efficiency.
• Interior Water Reservoir: The Reservoir holds the water used to make the ice cubes. The Minimum Fill and Maximum Fill Lines are notched into the middle wall separating the Reservoir from the internal workings of the Housing. Always add more water than the Minimum Fill and less than the Maximum Fill. The Ice Cube Basket sits just above the Interior Water Reservoir.
• EasyVue Transparent Lid: Because the Lid is transparent, it is easy to observe the ice-making in progress without continually opening the Lid. The Lid is attached to the Housing and should not be removed.
• Ice Cube Basket: The Ice Cube Basket holds the maximum capacity of cubes, about 6 cups, and can be easily removed when filled. The Basket sits just above the Interior Water Reservoir.
• Ice Cube Scoop: Use the plastic Scoop to protect the interior of the Ice Cube Basket and to easily remove the freshly made ice cubes.
• EasyTurn Water Drain: Drain the water from the Interior Water Reservoir easily by pulling the Drain Plug and allowing the water to release. Drain into the sink or a basin. Note: An extra Drain Plug is included in the packed box for your convenience.

ASSEMBLY BEFORE USE

Assemble the Ice Machine Plus as follows:

1. Place the Ice Machine Plus on a level surface at least 30 minutes prior to making ice cubes.
2. Fill the Interior Water Reservoir with tap water to just below the Maximum Fill Line. Do not fill with ice water or any other liquid.
3. Place the Ice Cube Basket into the Ice Machine Plus Housing.
