Unpacking the Ice Maker
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packa ging 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.
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.
■ Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water
supply inlet of ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft cop per tubin g with
a shut-off valve and either a gravity-drain system or
condensate pump to carry the water to an existing
drain.
■ Choose a well ventil ated 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. Place
electrical and plu mbing fixtures in the recommended
location as shown.
NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord
between the ice make r and cabinet.
■ 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.
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.
1. Recommended Location for Electrical and
Plumbing Fixtures.
2. Floor Level
■ You should choose a location where the floor is even. It
is important for the ice maker to b e 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 Requirements
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
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 safet y , this ap pliance 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 or dinances. 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 qualif ie d elec tr ic i an .
Leveling the Ice Maker
It is important for the ic e maker to be level i n or der 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
■ Adjustable wrench
■ ¹⁄₄" socket wrench
Undercounter installation
If you are installing the ice maker under a countertop, then
you may need to adjust the height of the ice maker. The
adjustable rear wheels are preset to position 1 for a
cabinet opening height of 34" (86.4 cm).
1. For cutout height of 34" (86.4 cm)
2. For cutout height of 34
3. For cutout height of 34
4. For cutout height of 34
To adjust the rear wheel height
1. Using a ¹⁄₄" socket wrench, remove the five screws from
the rear access panel an d carefully pull the panel away
from the drain hose.
2. Using a ³⁄₈" or adjustable wrench, remove the 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.
3. Move the rear wheel and screw to a new position as
needed for your cabinet opening height. Tighten the
screw comple tely.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 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.
6
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 adju st th e l ev eli ng l egs 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.
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 follow s:
■ 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 s hims to
add stability when needed.
Connecting the Ice Maker to a
W ater Source
Read all directions carefully bef ore y ou begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing codes requirements.
■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
■ Install copper tu bing only in areas where temperatures
will remain above freezing.
Tools required:
■ Standard screwdriver
■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable
wrenches
■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver
■ ¹⁄₄" drill bit
■ Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded
NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"
(.635 cm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sur e a sad dle- typ e va lv e
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a
piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (.476 cm) saddle valv e whic h reduces
water flow and clogs more easily.
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 Steps 2 and 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 water line:
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest fauc et l ong
enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm) to 1¹⁄₄" (3.18 cm) vertical cold
water pipe near the 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.
3. Using a ground ed drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (.635 cm) hole in the
cold water pipe you have selected.
4. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe
clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄” (.635 cm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under
the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe
clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a
watertight seal. Do not overtighten the pipe clamp or
you may crush cold water pipe if it is soft copper
tubing. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (.476 cm)
saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and clogs
more easily.
7
5. Now you are ready to connect the copp er tubing. Use
¹⁄₄" (.635 cm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold 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
¹⁄₄" (.635 cm) OD soft copper tubing you need for
the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are
cut square.
■ 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 overtighten.

the water valve which is located in the front of the ice
maker cabinet as shown.
10.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.

6. 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.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the
final connection to the inlet of the water valve to
prevent possible water valve malfunction.
7. 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.
8. 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 maker into position.

11.Turn shut-off valve on. Check for leaks. Tighten any
connections (including connections at the valve) or
nuts that leak. The ice mak er 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.
12.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 code s
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 ⁵⁄₈" (1.6 cm) 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” [(.635 cm) per
30.5 cm)] 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 1¹⁄₂" (3.81
cm) to 2" (5.08 cm) PVC dr ain r e du ce r inst al le d directly
below the outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must
maintain a 1" (2.54 cm) 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.
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.
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.

Understanding Sounds You
May Hear
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 s urfaces like the flo or, 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.
■ 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 ma ke 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 gurglin g sound
due to the ref r igerant 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 a “thud” when
the ice sheet sl id es from the evaporator onto the cutt er
grid.
■ When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water
running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to
run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
USING YOUR
ICE MAKER
Understanding How Your Ice
Maker W orks
When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill
and the system will rinse itsel f befor e st arting t o make ice.
The rinsing process takes about five minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will
cycle at preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located
in the ice storage bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT
■ If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be
sure to set the ice maker control to OFF.
■ The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the
majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your
results are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be
filtered or treated.
Making Ice
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As
the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are
rejected. This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low
mineral content.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is
released an d slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides
the sheet into individual cubes.
