■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable

uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. Do not use chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces of the ice maker. 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 “Ice Maker Care” section.

Location Requirements

■ To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front

side must be completely unobstructed. The ice maker 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 copper tubing with a shutoff valve or a Whirlpool supply line Part Number 8212547RB, and a Whirlpool approved drain pump, Part Number 1901A, only to carry the water to an existing drain.

■ Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F

(13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained between 70°F and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C).

■ The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered 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 plumbing xtures in the recommended location as shown.

NOTES:

■ Check that the power supply cord is not damaged or

pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ Check that the water supply line is not damaged or

pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ Check that the drain line (on some models) is not

damaged or pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ Check that the ice maker door is not ush with the

standard cabinets to avoid problems with opening the ice maker door.

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.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.

Recommended Grounding Method

The ice maker must be grounded. The ice maker is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. 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 qualied electrician.

Water Supply Requirements

Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your ice maker or home. Damage from frozen supply lines is not covered by the warranty.

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT:

■ A reverse osmosis water ltration system is not recommended

for ice makers that have a drain pump installed.

■ For gravity drain systems only.

■ The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse

osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the steady water supply required by the ice maker, is recommended. Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to maintain the steady water supply required by the ice maker.

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell

after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

Before you move your ice maker into its nal location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

A 115 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 or 20 A 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.

■ When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended

period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the ice maker.

■ Check that the water supply lines are insulated against

freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice maker or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number

8212547RP, and check for leaks.

■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain

above freezing.
