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 ice maker may be closed-in on the top and three 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 or a Jenn-Air supply line Part Number 8212547RB, and a Jenn-Air approved drain pump, Part Number 1901A, only to carry the water to an existing drain.

■ Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F

(13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained between 70°F and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C).

■ The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered 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.

NOTES:

■ Check that the power supply cord is not damaged or

pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ Check that the water supply line is not damaged or

pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ Check that the drain line (on some models) is not

damaged or pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

A. Recommended location for electrical and plumbing fixtures B. Floor level

■ 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.”

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

A 115-volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.

Recommended Grounding Method

The ice maker must be grounded. The ice maker is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. The cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Water Supply Requirements

Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your ice maker or home. Damage from frozen supply lines is not covered by the warranty.

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT:

■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system is not

recommended for ice makers that have a drain pump installed.

■ For gravity drain systems only.

■ The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse

osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the steady water supply required by the ice maker, is recommended. Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to maintain the steady water supply required by the ice maker.

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Vacation or Extended Time

Without Use

■ When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended

period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the ice maker.

■ Check that the water supply lines are insulated against

freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice maker or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Drain Connection

Gravity Drain System

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines when installing drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor, causing water damage.

■ Drain lines must have a minimum of ⁵⁄₈" (15.88 mm) I.D.

(inside diameter).

■ Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per

122 cm) of run or ¹⁄₄" drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of run and must not have low points where water can settle.

■ The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate

drainage from all drains.

■ The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1¹⁄₂" (3.81 cm) to

2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a 1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe.

■ Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed

pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice maker.

IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain is not available. A Drain Pump kit, Part Number 1901A, is available for purchase.

Side View

■ The drain pump discharge line must terminate at an open

sited drain.

■ Maximum rise 10 ft (3.1 m)

■ Maximum run 100 ft (30.5 m)

NOTES:

■ If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot drain,

your ice maker will not work.

■ It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to

the drain inlet. An Insulation Sleeve kit, Part Number W10365792, is available for purchase.

■ Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed

pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice maker.

■ Drain pump maximum capability: For every 1 ft (0.31 m) of

rise, subtract 10 ft (3.1 m) of maximum allowable run.

Connecting the Drain

After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these steps to properly place the ice maker:

A. Drain hose B. 1" (2.54 cm) air gap C. PVC drain reducer

Drain Pump System (on some models)
