Installation

The ice maker should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The ice
maker should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping
in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded with water and ice than when empty.
Before you plug the ice maker into a power supply, 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 ice maker. Check to make
sure the ice basket and ice scoop are included. If any parts are missing, please contact our customer
service. Put the ice maker on a level and flat surface away from direct sunlight and other sources of
heat such as a stove, furnace, radiator, etc. The appliance must be positioned so that the power plug
is accessible.
Warning: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your ice
!
maker.
The ice maker has been designed for free-standing installation, which will allow you to install the unit
in almost any place you desire provided you level the unit and follow the instructions for clearance,
water and electrical requirements.

Clearance and Environment Requirements

• Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F and below 90°F. Operation outside
these temperatures may result in lowered production or may cause other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water spray or
drips. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat sources.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface that is able to support the ice maker's total
weight with water.
• There must be at least 4 inches of space around the back and sides of the unit for proper air
circulation.

Water Requirements

• Only use potable water or water suitable for drinking.
• The temperature of the water should be between 51°F and 90°F.
• Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level.
Note: The add water light uses an electronic sensor that may not detect purified, filtered,
reverse osmosis, or distilled water. You may need to add a pinch of salt to the water to
!
increase the mineral content.
