For The Electrician - Whirlpool 3EHC 50/51-1 Use, Care & Installation Manual

NOTE: Always purge the water line before making
the final connection to the inlet tube to prevent
possible water valve malfunction.
After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing to
meet the connection at the water valve. This joint
provides a convenient disconnect for service. Be
sure the tubing is clear of compressor, to prevent
rattle.

It may be desirable to insulate drain line
thoroughly up to drain inlet.
SUMP PUMP
1. When a drain connection below the level of the unit
is not available, a sump pump may be used to lift the
water to an available drain.
2. Pumps of approved design for operation on 220/240
Volt, 50 Hz current may be purchased locally.
3. Install sump pump on floor behind ice maker with
discharge tube to the rear. Run bin drain directly to

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 220/240 Volt, 50 Hz, 10 Amp fused electrical supply is
required (time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom-
mended). It is recommended that a separate circuit,
serving only this appliance be provided.
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON
THIS MACHINE
GROUNDING
For your personal safety permanently ground this unit
in accordance with applicable local codes and ordi-
nances. It is recdmmended that a separate, permanent
ground connection be made to the unit using a green/
yellow colored, insulated conductor of appropriate size
from a grounded cold water pipe*, a grounded lead in
the service panel or a properly driven and electrically
grounded ground rod. Do not ground to a gas supply
pipe. Do not connect to electric power supply until unit
is permanently grounded. Connect the ground wire to
the approved ground and then connect to the metal
frame of the unit.
'Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground
and not be interrupted by plastic. rubber, or other electrically
insulating connectors (including water meter or pump) without
adding a jumper wire at these connections.
WIRING

partment and water connections. Electrical connec-
ticns are made to the electrical box which is located at
the rear of the machine. Run permanent type 1.6 mm +
(# 14) wiring through the hole provided in the electrical
box to the line screws on the terminal board. (See figure
