• It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. • All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. • Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installa- tion.
INSTALLATION Remove packaging materials IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your ice maker.

INSTALLATION soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve. • The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feed- ing into the ice maker should be between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C) for proper oper- ation.

INSTALLATION ** The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet. ** It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.

Drain IMPORTANT: This ice maker is not a freezer, it must connect to a drain line. Your ma- chine comes equipped with a gravity drain. Depending on your plumbing setup, a condensation pump may be required. Poor drainage will cause a high rate of melt- ing in the ice storage bin and may cause flooding or your machine to shut off.
Built-in Installation: If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate venti- lation space around the unit. The following additional items must be observed. 1. Place ice maker in front of installation location. Remove the legs and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.

How the Machine Uses the Water Evaporator t a r The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in Water inlet t e l r e t the water trough. As the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral impurities will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds.
