Space requirements

• To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front
side must be completely unobstructed. The unit may be
closed-in on the top and three 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 ⁄ " (6 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shut-off
4
valve and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump
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 (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). This unit MUST be
installed in an area protected 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.
NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between
the ice maker and cabinet.
