• Use only genuine Electrolux
replacement parts. Imitation parts
can damage the unit and may
void the warranty.
5Site Preparation
Preparing the Site
IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that the unit is
level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not
fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice
rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling
into the storage area which will cause
the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely.
Remember that floors near drains have a
tendency to slope towards the drain.
1 Position the unit on a flat, level
surface, capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Remember
that the unit will be significantly
heavier once it is fully loaded.
2 The surrounding air temperature must
be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not
exceed 110°F (43°C).
3 The unit must not be located near
heat-generating equipment or in
direct sunlight.
DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three
prong (grounding) polarized plug
for your protection against possible
shock hazards.
• NEVER remove the round
grounding prong from the plug.
• NEVER use a two-prong
grounding adapter.
• NEVER use an extension cord to
connect power to the unit.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered or a longer power cord is
required, contact a qualified electrician
to have it replaced in accordance with
applicable electrical codes.
5 Connect the unit to a grounded and
polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A
circuit (normal household current).
6 Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI). GFIs are prone
to nuisance tripping which will cause
the unit to shut down. GFIs are
generally not used on circuits which
power equipment that must run
unattended for long periods of time.
7 The unit must be installed according
to your local codes and ordinances.
NOTE
The door of this unit is not reversible
but a separate model is available with a
door that swings open in the opposite
direction. Electrolux stainless steel
models require a minimum 2-3/4 inch
handle clearance when installed against
a wall or cabinet that extends beyond
the front edge of the unit (Figure 1).

Installation
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak
performance of your appliance. We
recommend a location where the ice
machine will be out of direct sunlight
and away from heat sources. To ensure
your product performs to specifications,
the recommended installation location
temperature range is from 55 to 90°F (13
to 32°C) for built in ice machines and 55
to 100°F (13 to 38°C) for freestanding ice
machines. Ice machines will not perform
correctly in ambient temperatures less
than 55°F (13°C). This unit is not intended
to be installed outdoors.
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom
front of the appliance. Keep this area open
and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent
cabinets and counter top can be installed
around the appliance as long as the front
grille remains unobstructed.
CAUTION
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 not be obstructed and the grille
openings kept clean. Electrolux does
not recommend the use of a custom
made grille as air flow may be
restricted (Figure 1).
Front Grille,
keep this area
open
Installing the Drain
CAUTION
PLEASE READ all instructions
completely before attempting to
install or operate the unit. Plumbing
installation must observe all state and
local codes. All ice makers require
a connection to the water supply
and improper hook-up can result
in substantial property damage! All
water and drain connections MUST
BE made by a licensed/qualified
plumbing contractor. Failure to follow
recommendations and instructions
may result in damage and/or harm.
Drain Plumbing
Your ice machine requires drain plumbing.
Follow these guidelines when installing
drain lines to prevent water from flowing
back into the ice maker storage bin and/
or potentially flowing onto the floor causing
water damage.
CAUTION
Observe and follow all local building
codes when installing this ice
machine and drain lines.

Factory Installed Drain Pump
This pump is designed to remove drain water from ice machines installed in areas without
direct drainage access. The sealed reservoir pump collects the melted ice water and pumps
it to a maximum lift of eight feet (2.44 meters) through 3⁄8” I.D. vinyl tubing to a drain.
The discharge tubing is coiled up and attached to the back of the ice machine. The 3⁄8
inch I.D. tubing needs to be plumbed and connected to a sanitary sewer (Figure 4).
CAUTION
This drain pump is designed to be
installed in Electrolux ice machines
only and has been evaluated for use
with water only. Drain line vertical rise
is not to exceed 8 feet and total drain
line length is not to exceed 20 feet;
otherwise, the ice machine may not
operate correctly.

Installation
Connecting the Water
Supply
CAUTION
Observe and follow all local plumbing
codes when installing this appliance.
After completing the installation, turn
on the water and recheck the drain
and water connections for leaks.
This ice machine must be connected to a
potable cold water supply line delivering
water pressure between a minimum of 20
psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water
supply which is available at any local
hardware or plumbing supply store.
Route the 1⁄4" copper tubing to suit your
installation being sure not to kink the
tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing
length to allow a coil to be formed behind
the unit for a "service loop" which will allow
the appliance to be pulled out from the
installation for servicing or cleaning (Figure
5). Connect the copper tubing to the "top
side" of a cold water pipe to prevent the
ice-maker from plugging with sediment.
A shutoff valve is recommended on the
water supply line to ease servicing the
appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING
TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as
they are prone to clogging with sediment
which will create pressure drop reducing
the water supply to the unit.
Connect the copper tubing water supply to
the water valve inlet with the compression
nut fitting provided. Secure the water
supply line to the back of the cabinet with
the screw and strain relief clamp provided
in the corner of the back panel (Figure 5).
Make certain all connections are watertight
after installation. Form the tubing so that it
will not vibrate against the cabinet body or
kink when your appliance is moved in and
out of position.
This ice machine is designed to make
clear ice from the majority of water
sources on a daily basis. If your results are
unsatisfactory, your water may need to be
filtered or treated. A water specialist can
recommend proper water treatment.
