Installing the Ice Maker

The ice maker should be installed by a licensed plumber in accordance with
local electrical and plumbing code requirements.
Before you plug the ice maker, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours
to allow the compressor's oils to settle.
Unpacking the Ice Maker
Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue
from your ice maker before using. 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.

Types of Installation

This ice maker has been designed for freestanding, recessed, or built-in
installation. In each case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for
service.

Freestanding installation will allow you to install the icemaker in any place with
access to a water supply and a drain. You must follow the instructions for
electrical requirements, water supply and drain, and leveling the icemaker.

Recessed installation:

Recessed installation will allow you to install the icemaker under a counter or in a
kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space around the ice maker is
followed. This installation has the same requirements as a built-in installation.

maker. Install the drain line into your drain.
