Check that plumbing and electrical
wiring Do Not cross in front of the ice
maker motor.
Install the ice maker in a cabinet that
completely encloses the sides, top
and rear of the ice maker.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
It is the customer’s responsibility to:
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
l
Comply with the installation
specifications and dimensions provided
l
Properly install the ice maker.
l
Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation.
l
Contact a qualified installer to assure
that the plumbing and electrical installations are adequate and meet all national and local codes and ordinances.
l
Provide a properly grounded outlet
(See “Electrical requirements.“)
l
Provide proper water supply line and
floor drain or drain pump, as specified.
(See “Water requirements” and “Drain
requirements.“)
Plumbing and electrical wiring should
not cross in front of the motor. Electrical
wiring should not be routed through the
drain area.
Read and follow the “Electrical
requirements, fl “Water requirements, II
and “Drain requirements, I before
installing the ice maker.
The ice maker may be enclosed around
the sides, top and rear. (See “Built-in
opening dimensions.“) Do Not block or
close in the front of the ice maker. The ice
maker cannot work properly if the airflow
to the front of the ice maker is blocked.
Drain system requires either a gravity
floor-drain system or a drain pump (see
“Drain requirements”) to lift the water to
an existing drain. A l-l /4” minimum
diameter standpipe or 5/8” I.D. minimum
drain tube to an open drain is required.
Commercial installation sanitation
codes: National Sanitation Foundation
(NSF) installation procedures require
sealing the ice maker to the floor with
approved caulking compound. We
recommend using a silicone-type sealer.
Shipboard installations require a water
deflector (available from your local
dealer or parts distributor). Install
deflector according to the instructions
provided with the deflector kit. The
deflector keeps the water that flows
over the evaporator from spilling into
the storage bin area.
Custom wood panels: The bin door and
lower panel can be customized to
match your wood cabinets. See
“Changing the bin door and lower
panel”, Panel C.
When moving ice maker, slide ice
maker onto cardboard or hardboard to
prevent damaging floor covering.
