Installing The Ice Maker

Unpacking

Excessive Weight Hazard

Installation of the ice maker requires a cold

•

water supply inlet of

1

“ (6mm) OD soft copper

4

tubing with a shut-off valve and either a
gravity-drain system or condensate pump to
carry the water to an existing drain.

CSW45

Use two or more people to move and install ice
maker.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Removing packaging materials

IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent

instruction labels inside your ice maker or the Tech
Sheet that is fastened behind the lower access
panel.

• Remove tape and any labels from your ice

maker before using (except the model and serial
number label).

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can
also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of
liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers.
Wipe with warm water and dry.

•

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your ice maker. For more information,
see the “Important Safety Instructions” section.

Choose a well ventilated area with

•

temperatures above 55°F (13°C) and below
100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained
between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). This unit
MUST be installed in an area protected 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. Do not place electrical or plumbing
fixtures in the clear zone as indicated by the
gray shaded area.

NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord
between the ice maker and cabinet.

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 “Caring for Your
Ice Maker” section.

Space Requirements

•

To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker,
the front side must be completely unobstructed.
The unit 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.

n You should 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 position of
the rear wheels. See the “Leveling the Ice Maker”
section.

Electrical & Leveling

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3
prong outlet.

Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical
shock.

Do not use an extension
cord.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not remove ground
prong.

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 ampere 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.

Recommended Grounding Method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, 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.

Leveling the Ice Maker

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.

To Adjust The Rear Wheel Height

CSW45

Electrical Shock Hazard

Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical
shock.

Disconnect power before
servicing.

Replace all panels before
operating.

1. Using a

1

“ socket wrench, remove the seven

4

screws from the rear access panel and carefully pull
the panel away from the drain hose.

2. Using a

3

“ or adjustable wrench, remove the

8

screw that holds the rear wheel.

NOTE: Pushing up against the top back of the ice
maker takes some of the weight off of the wheels.
This makes it easier to remove the screws.

2. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and
then locate the leveling screws that are on the
bottom front of the product.

3. Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of
the legs as follows:

Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that

•

side of the ice maker.

Turn the leveling leg 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.

3. Move the rear wheel and screw to a new position
as needed for your cabinet opening height. Tighten
the screw completely.

4. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to change the position of
the wheel on the other side.

5. Replace the rear panel and screws. Be sure that
the drain tube is positioned in the opening provided.

6. Use the front leveling legs to make sure the
product is level.

To adjust the front leveling legs

Your ice maker has two adjustable leveling legs to
help you steady the product and make sure it is
level.

SUGGESTION: 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 if the ice maker is level from front to back and
side to side.

4. Use a carpenter’s level to re-check the ice maker
to see that it is even from front to back and side to
side. If the ice maker is not level, repeat Steps2&3.
If the ice maker is level, go to the “Connecting the
Ice Maker to a Water Source” section.

Freestanding Installation

If you are not installing your ice maker under a
countertop, you will probably not need to adjust the
rear wheel height. Follow the steps outlined in “To
adjust the front leveling legs” earlier in this section.

NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims
to add stability when needed.

Connecting the Ice Maker to a Water Source

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

All installations must be in accordance with local

•

plumbing codes requirements.

Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

•

Install copper tubing only in areas where

•

temperatures will remain above freezing.

7. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or
sink, and turn on main water supply and flush out
tubing until water is clear. Turn off shut-off valve on
the water pipe.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut

•

on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing
into outlet end squarely as far as it will go.
Screw compression nut onto outlet end with
adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not

use a piercing-type or 3/16” saddle valve which
reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the water line:

1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.

2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest

faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a

1

"to

2

1

" vertical cold water pipe near the

1

4

ice maker.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following
procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of
the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water
away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment
from collecting in the valve.

4. Using a grounded drill, drill a

1

" (6 mm) hole in the

4

cold water pipe you have selected.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making
the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to
prevent possible water valve malfunction.

8. Remove the two screws in the lower access panel
and the two screws in the base grille area of the front
panel support. Pull forward to remove the lower
access panel.

9. Position the tubing so it can enter one of the two
access holes located at the right-hand rear of the
cabinet as shown. The tubing should extend beyond
the cabinet front when the cabinet is pushed back
into position. Move the ice machine into position.

5. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe
clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the

1

-inch

4

drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is
under the pipe clamp. Do not use a piercing-type or

3

" saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and

16

clogs more easily.

6. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

1

Use

" (6mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold

4

water supply.

•

Measure from the connection at the front of the
ice maker to the cold water pipe. Add 3 feet to
ensure that you have the proper length. This is
the length of

1

" (6mm) OD soft copper tubing

4

you need for the job. Be sure both ends of the
copper tubing are cut square.

11. Unscrew the water valve inlet cover, and attach

the copper tubing with the compression sleeve and
nut.

NOTE: To prevent rattling, be sure the copper tubing
does not touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts
inside the cabinet.

12. Turn shut-off valve on. Check for leaks.

Tighten any connections (including connections at
the valve) or nuts that leak. The ice maker is
equipped with a built-in water strainer. If local water
conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is your
source of water supply, a second water strainer
should be installed. Obtain a water strainer from your
nearest appliance dealer and install it at either tube
connection.

13. Replace the lower access panel and screws.

Connecting The Drain

Gravity drain system

Connect the drain pump hose (provided with the
product) 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
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

" (1.6 cm)

8

inside diameter.

Drain lines must have a 1" (2.5 cm) drop per 48”

•

(122 cm) of run (

1

" per foot [6mm per 30.5cm])

4

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 1

to 2" PVC drain reducer installed directly below
the outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must
maintain a 1" air gap between the drain pump
hose and the standpipe.

It may be desirable to insulate the drain line
thoroughly up to the drain inlet.

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

1. Plug ice maker into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Re-check the ice maker to be sure that it is level.

See the “Leveling the Ice Maker” section.

3. Push the ice maker into position so that the ice
maker drain tube is positioned over the PVC drain
reducer.

4. Center of drain should be 23” (58.4 cm) from front of door
(with or without the C\v” (1.9 cm) panel on the door).

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.

5. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

Drain pump system (on some models)

Connect the drain pump hose (provided with the
product) to your drain in accordance with all state
and local codes and ordinances.
