LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Installation must comply with all governing codes and ordinances.

Temperature

It is recommended that you install the ice maker in 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).

Location

The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered from the elements, such as wind, rain, or water spray.

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, however the installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.

The auxiliary grill kit provided can be used to align the toe grill with the rest of the cabinets while not obstructing ventilation of the ice maker.

Floor must be able to support the ice maker’s total weight, of more than 106 lbs (48.08 kg), including door panels and contents of the ice maker. 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. The face of the cabinetry must be ush with the front of the ice maker.

Check that the power supply cord, water supply line, and drain line (on some models) are not damaged, pinched, or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

A reverse osmosis system may be used if the water pressure from the ltration system meets the required

water pressure requirements. 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.

SITE PREPARATION

DRAIN SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all state and local codes and ordinances. Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines if the ice maker is provided with a gravity drain system. This will help keep water from owing back into the ice maker storage bin. Water owing back into the ice maker can potentially ow onto the oor and cause water damage.

Drain Requirements

Inside Diameter minimum 5/8" (15.88 mm)

Drain lines must have a 1" drop

per 48" of run (2.54 cm drop

Drain Lines

1/4" drop per 12" of run(6.35 mm

Maximum rise 10 ft (3.1 m) Maximum run 100 ft (30.5 m)

The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1½" (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.

Drain pump maximum capability: For every 1 ft (0.31 m) of rise, subtract 10 ft (3.1 m) of maximum allowable run. IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a oor drain is not available. A Drain Pump kit, Part Number 1901A, is available for purchase at

jennair.com/accessories/details/1901A. NOTE: 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 at
