ULIN_1044_A
6 Prepare Plumbing
CAUTION
Plumbing installation must observe all state and local
codes. All water connections MUST BE made by a licensed/
qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow
recommendations and instructions may result in damage
and/or harm.
WARNING
To prevent accidental electrocution, make certain
that the floor surfaces surrounding the unit are
dry whenever power is removed from, or applied
to, the unit.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, follow these
guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the
unit.
• Connect to the cold water supply.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch OD water supply
line.
• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit so that tubing
may be looped, allowing the unit to be removed for
cleaning and servicing (see Figure 23). However, make
certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged
during installation.
• If using the flexible water supply kit, follow the
instructions included with the kit.
To connect to water supply:
1. With a standard blade screwdriver or 1/4” nut driver,
remove the grille screw (Figure 20). Remove the
grille.

SS1095
7 Prepare Power Supply
Electrical Specifications
CAUTION
Electrical installation must observe all state and local
codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (threeprong), polarized receptacle that has been placed by a
qualified electrician.
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,
60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current).
An individual, properly grounded branch circuit or circuit
breaker is recommended. GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location
appliances and is not recommended for your unit because
a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be
sure to consult your local codes.
It is recommended to locate the receptacle behind an
adjacent cabinet (see Figure 24). Plugging the unit into a
receptacle located behind an adjacent cabinet will allow
the unit to be serviced more easily without disturbing the
installation.
Note: If receptacle is located behind the unit, additional
space will be required to make unit flush with adjacent
cabinets.
Preferred
Location
for Receptacle

Location
IMPORTANT
Route the water supply line through the unit so it does not
come into contact with any internal components other
than the solenoid valve. See Figure 23. Normal operation
creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting an
internal component or cabinet wall can cause excessive
noise during operation or damage to the line.
5. For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line
length to provide slack for easy removal from the
recessed area (see
Figure 23
). This will also safeguard
against kinking the line.

Installation Troubleshooting
Problem
Q:
Water is leaking under the unit.
Solution
A:
A water leak under the unit is most likely caused by a bad
connection in the water supply line. Make sure the water
line’s brass fitting is screwed tight to its valve and
threaded correctly. Make sure that plumbers tape was
NOT used; if it was remove all traces before reinstalling.
10 Start-Up for the First Time
Initial Start-Up
The on/off switch is located behind the front grille. A
small opening in the top of the grille is provided to access
the switch. Ensure that the switch is turned on.
No setting adjustments should be necessary at this time.
For information about Adjusting the Temperature
Control, see the User Manual.
As soon as the ice maker
mold reaches the proper
temperature, the ice maker
mechanism will fill the mold
with water.
Note: The first cubes may be
small because of air in the
water line. After two hours,
cubes will be standard size.
The ice maker will continue
to produce until the bin is
full. You may interrupt
production by raising the bin
arm into an upright and locked position (see Figure 27).
While the bin arm is locked, the unit will maintain
temperature for ice storage.
Figure 27
IMPORTANT
It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water
line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the
first twenty-four (24) hours of operation.

Start-Up Troubleshooting
Problem
Q:
Unit does not appear to turn on when plugged in.
Solution
A:
Make sure outlet has power (circuit breaker has not
tripped). Make sure the on/off switch is turned on.
Problem
Q:
Water does not appear to be flowing into unit.
Solution
A:
Check that the water is connected and turned on and the
