Warning:
Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your ice maker.
Installation
The ice maker should be installed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local electrical and plumbing code
requirements. The ice maker should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total
weight.
Before you plug the ice maker into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours
to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Unpacking the Ice Maker
Warning:
Use two or more people to move and install the ice maker. Failure to do so can result
in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and
glue from your ice maker before use. 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.
!
Warning:
DO NOT install the ice maker behind a closed cabinet door.
!
This ice maker has been designed for freestanding or built-in installation. In each case, there must be adequate
ventilation and access for service. Install the unit in a location where the ambient temperature is above 50°F and
below 100°F.
Freestanding Installation:
A freestanding installation will allow you to install the ice maker in almost any place you desire. You must follow
the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the ice maker.
Built-in Installation:
A built-in installation will allow you to install the ice maker under a counter as long as the required clearance
space around the ice maker is provided. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit,
including at the back of the unit.
The following additional items must be observed:
1.
Place the ice maker in front of the installation location. Adjust the feet and level the unit so it sits properly
on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
2.
The water supply line must be plumbed before connecting it to the ice maker. Install the drain line into your
drain.
3.
Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water leaks at all connections.
4.
If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker.
5. Push the ice maker into position.
