8. After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove the drain cap
from the water pan. Look for any cleaning solution left in the
water pan. If cleaning solution drains from the water pan, you
should run the clean cycle again. Be sure to refill the water
pan with cleaner before starting the clean cycle again. Be sure

Vacation or Extended Time Without
Use
� When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended
period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the ice
maker.
� Check that the water supply lines are insulated against
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can
increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice maker
or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the
warranty.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Ice Maker

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing Packaging Materials
� To remove any remaining tape or glue from the exterior of the
ice maker, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue
residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount
of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe
with warm water and dry.
� Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. Do not use
chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces of the ice
maker. These products can damage the surface of your ice
maker.
Cleaning Before Use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the "Ice Maker Maintenance and Care" section.

Location Requirements

� Installation must comply with all governing codes and
ordinances.
� 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 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 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft copper tubing
with a shutoff valve, or a supply line and a drain pump, 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).
� Choose a location where the floor is even. It is important for
the ice maker to be level in order to work properly. If needed,
you can adjust the height of the ice maker by changing the
height of the leveling legs. See the "Leveling and Securing"
section.
� 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.
