INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Ice Maker
Removing Packaging Materials
Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
■ To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly
with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily
removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over
the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your ice maker.
Cleaning Before Use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the “Ice Maker Care” section.
Location Requirements
■ To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side
must be completely unobstructed. The unit may be closed-in
on the top and 3 sides, but the installation should allow the
ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
■ Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet
of
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff valve
and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump to
carry the water to an existing drain.
■ Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F
(13°C) and below 100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained
between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C).
■ This unit must be installed in an area protected from the
elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.
■ When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the
recommended opening dimensions shown. Place electrical
and plumbing fixtures in the recommended location as
shown.
NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between
the ice maker and cabinet.
■ You should choose a location where the floor is even. It is
important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker
by changing the height of the leveling legs. See “Leveling.”
