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 3 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) outside diameter (O.D.) soft copper tubing
with a shut-off valve or a Whirlpool supply line Part Number
8212547RB, and a Whirlpool approved drain pump Part
Number 1901A and 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 fixtures in the recommended location as
shown.
NOTES:
■ Check that the power supply cord is not damaged,
pinched, or kinked between the ice maker and the
cabinet.
■ Check that the water supply line is not damaged,
pinched, or kinked between the ice maker and the
cabinet.
■ Check that the drain line (on some models) is not
damaged, pinched, or kinked between the ice maker
and the cabinet.
■ Check that the ice maker door is not flush with the
standard cabinets to avoid problems with opening the
ice maker door.

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
B
connection:
A 115-volt, 60 Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp 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.
