Electrical Requirements
Leveling
It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you
may need to make several adjustments to level it.
Tools required
■ Carpenter’s level
To adjust the leveling legs
Your ice maker has four adjustable leveling legs to help you
steady the product and make sure it is level.
NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another
person to assist you.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see whether
the ice maker is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the
leveling legs that are on the bottom of the product.
3. Change the height of the legs as follows:
■ Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower that side of the
ice maker.
■ Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise that side of the ice
maker.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add
stability when needed.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical

4. Use a carpenter's level to make sure the ice maker is level
from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not
level, repeat Steps 2 and 3. If the ice maker is level, go to the
“Water Supply Connection” section.
Water Supply Connection
G
IMPORTANT:
■ Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
■ Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.
■ Close the shutoff valve when the water temperature is below
freezing to avoid damage to the tubing.
■ Do not operate ice maker when the water supply is off.
Connecting the water
Connect the ice maker to the water supply using the ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm)
water inlet on the rear of the ice maker. Be sure to use a potable
water supply. The water supply line must have a shutoff valve and
a bin drain outlet installed.
A
B
Connecting the drain
Gravity drain system
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances. The ice maker is provided with a gravity drain
system, follow these guidelines when installing drain lines. This
will prevent 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) 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)
and must not have low points where water can settle.
■ The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
■ You must maintain a 2" (5.08 cm) air gap between the drain
tube outlet and the floor drain.
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these
steps to properly place the ice maker:
1. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
2. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See
“Leveling.”
3. Push the ice maker into position so that the ice maker drain
tube outlet is positioned over the floor drain.
4. If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet
to the floor with an approved caulking compound after all
water and electrical connections have been made.

Normal Sounds
A
C
D
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to
you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following
describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what
may be making them.
■ When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water
running. The ice maker is programmed to fill the water
reservoir before it begins to make ice.
■ You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to
fill the water reservoir for each cycle.
■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or
the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also
make noises.
■ The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high
pitched sound.
■ Water running over the evaporator plate may make a
splashing sound.
■ Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir
may make a splashing sound.
■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
■ You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
■ During the harvest cycle you may hear low popping sounds
as the ice drops into the bin.
ICE MAKER USE
Using the Controls
The ice maker control is located on the bottom of the ice maker
just above the base grille. You must open the ice maker door to
access the control.
1. To start ice production, move the switch to ICE. Depending
on the air and water temperature, the ice maker will produce
the first batch of ice in less than 1 hour.
2. To stop ice maker operation, move the switch to OFF.
ICE MAKER CARE
Cleaning
The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be
cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency
and to prevent failure of system components. See “Ice Maker
System” and “Condenser.”
Exterior Surfaces
Wash stainless steel exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh
cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel ice maker looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use
the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into
contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser
covers or door gaskets. If accidental contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the cleaner, see
“Accessories.”
Ice Maker System
Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle
will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system.
Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale
buildup. How often you need to clean the system depends upon
how hard your water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal.
(4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as
every 6 months.
NOTE: Use 4 oz (148 mL) of Outdoor Ice Maker Cleaner
(part #4396736) mixed with 1 gal (3.78 L) of warm (90°F – 95°F
[32°C – 35°C]) water to remove scaly deposit.
1. Move the control switch to the OFF position.
2. To remove the cubes that remain on the evaporator, turn the
ice machine on for approximately 3 minutes. The harvest
cycle will drop the cubes into the bin.
3. Move the switch to the OFF position.
4. Close the water supply line shutoff valve.
5. Remove the ice from the bin.
6. Disconnect the suction tube from the water tank. Squeeze
both plastic tabs to release the joint and pull the pipe clear.
