PRE INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Electrical Requirements:
Provide a 115 volt, 60 cycle, single phase 15 amp, AC receptacle. It is recommended that a separately fused circuit
(a time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended),
serving only this appliance, be provided. Electrical opening
should be placed 781⁄2" (199.4cm) minimum from the oor.
(See Figure 4).
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not have a
grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power supply.
The unit must be installed according to your local building
codes and ordinances.
!
WARNING
Plumbing Requirements:
Ice maker water supply line, 1⁄4" (6.4mm) outside diameter
copper tubing to come up the rear of cut out opening ap-
proximately 78" (198.1cm) off the oor depending on height
adjustment. Tubing should then pass around the right side
of the power module and around the front to the water
solenoid valve.
When installing the water line for the ice maker, be sure
to install a SHUT-OFF VALVE at a convenient location
between the freezer and the supply line. Required water
pressure range is 20 to 120 psi (138 to 827 kPa).
Also recommended is an in-line WATER FILTER between
the freezer and the supply line to prevent sediment from
blocking water ow through the water solenoid valve.
An ideal location for these items is on top of the cabinet,
behind the grill, and to the right of the power module.
NOTE
Self-piercing water valves and plastic tubing are NOT ap-
proved for water supply to ice maker.

• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
They can be hazardous and cause decient
operation.
• This unit should not, under any circumstances, be
installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.
• Do not remove the grounding prong from the
power cord.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not splash or spray water from a hose on
the appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical
shock, which may result in severe injury or death.
Corner Installation

Anti - tip Bracket considerations
Before placing the cabinet in opening, the depth of the
cut-out opening should be at least 24" (61cm). If the cut-out
opening depth is more than 24" (61cm), then a piece of
wood must be secured crosswise on the wall into the studs
at the height of the anti-tip brackets. (See Figure 9). Slide
the cabinet into position and level the cabinet with adjust-
able rear roller and front leveling legs. (See Leveling the
unit on page 11).
Locate a wall stud behind the unit that is suitable for secur-
ing the 5” (12.7cm) anti-tip bracket to the wall. The position
of the bracket should be to the right of the power module
and not behind the power module. Do not disturb the power
module gasket on the left side of the unit. Place the anti
tip bracket on top of the cabinet ush with the back of the
cabinet. Mark and drill at least three holes (1⁄8” (3.2mm) into
the top of the cabinet and secure the bracket to the top of
the cabinet with at least (3) of the #8 x 5⁄8” screws provided.
Secure the bracket to the wall stud with at least (2) #8 x
11⁄2” screws provided. See Figure 8.
