INSTALLATION
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install icemaker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your icemaker.
Remove tape and glue from your icemaker before using
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 icemaker.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your icemaker before using it. See
the "Interior cleaning" in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
Location Requirements
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES: (Unit shown in an enclosed setup)
This icemaker should be installed by a licensed plumber only.
Before connecting the ice maker to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 4” clearance at rear, and 1” at
top and sides. The installation should allow the icemaker to be pulled forward for servicing if
necessary.

shown. Place electrical and water supplies and drain fixtures in the recommended locations as
shown.
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water
spray or drips. Do NOT use the ice maker in outdoor setting.
The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources.
Too much humidity in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more
frequent defrosting of the ice maker.
The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psi and a
static pressure not to exceed 80 psi.
• In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter can remove taste and odors
as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes
that stick together. Deionized water is not recommended.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with
state and local codes.
• The unit should be located on a hard and level surface that can support the unit when it is full. 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 turning the feet. See the “Leveling the Ice Maker” section.
• A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz, 15 A), properly grounded in accordance with
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.
• IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and wall or
cabinet.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this ice maker.
