INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing your ice maker
Select location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a
location where the ice maker will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
To assure your product performs to specifications the recommended installation location
temperature range is from 55 – 80°F (13 – 27°C) for built in ice makers, 55 – 90°F
(13– 32°C) for freestanding ice makers. Ice maker will not perform correctly in ambient
temperatures less than 55°F (13°C).
IMPORTANT!
Outdoor installation
Building codes may require a ground fault circuit interrupter electrical receptacle
to supply electrical power to the ice maker for outdoor applications, (see ‘Electrical
connection’ in the ‘Installation instructions’ section).
Do not install in a location where the ice maker will be exposed to direct sun exposure
as this may result in unsatisfactory performance.
Winterizing your outdoor ice maker
For instructions on winterizing your ice maker see ‘Preparing the ice maker for storage’.
Cabinet clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the ice maker. Keep this area
open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed
around the ice maker as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.
Front grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front grille allow air to flow
through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air flow will result in
increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is important this
area to not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. DCS by Fisher & Paykel
does not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow may be restricted
because of inadequate openings.
Front grille, keep
this area open
Front leveling legs

Rear leveling legs
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the ice maker should be set so the ice
maker is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The
overall height of your DCS ice maker may be adjusted from 33 3/4” (857mm) with the
leveling legs turned in, and up to 34 3/4” (883mm) with the leveling legs extended.
To adjust the leveling legs, place the ice maker on a solid surface and protect the floor
beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the ice maker back to access the front leveling legs. Raise or lower the legs to the
required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the ice
maker forward using caution to prevent the door from opening. On a level surface check
the ice maker for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the front grille adjusted to the desired
height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws.
