This icemaker requires an earth that meets the national and local electrical code requirements. To prevent possible severe electrical shock to individuals or extensive damage to the unit, install a proper earth wire to the icemaker. Disconnect the main power supply before any maintenance, repairs or cleaning is undertaken.

• This appliance requires a separate 220 - 240VAC, 10A [IM-21CNE-HC, 30CNE-HC, 45CNE/NE-HC, 65NE-HC, 100CNE/NE- HC, 130NE-HC] / 13A [IM-240NE-HC] supply. The electrical supply must be protected by a suitable circuit breaker.

• The main control box fuse is rated at 5A and should only be replaced by a qualied service engineer.

• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required. For the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland only

• The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow = Earth Blue = Neutral Brown = Live As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Green-and-Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the symbol or coloured Green or Green-and-Yellow. The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.

• Should the socket outlets in the installation site not be suitable for the plug supplied with your product, the plug must be removed (cut off if it is moulded on plug) and an appropriate plug tted.
