Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
2. Style 1 For gravity drain system, push the ice maker into
position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over the
PVC drain reducer. See "Gravity Drain System."
Style 2 For drain pump system, connect the drain pump
outlet hose to the drain. See "Drain Pump System."
NOTE: Do not connect outlet end of drain tube to a closed
pipe system to avoid drain water backing up into the ice
maker.
3. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See "Leveling
and Securing."
4. Turn on ice maker. Wait for rinsing cycle, approximately
5 minutes, to be sure the ice maker is operating properly.
5. If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet
to the floor with an approved caulking compound after all
water and electrical connections have been made.

Leveling and Securing

It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you
may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also
use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for under
counter installations.
Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
� Level
� Adjustable wrench
NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another
person to assist you.
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.
1. Move the ice maker to its final location. Be sure to cover the
floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid damaging it.
NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as
close as possible to the final location.
For standard models:
2. Place the level on top of the ice maker to see whether the ice
maker is level from front to back and side to side.
3. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the
leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker.
4. Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as
follows:
� Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the ice
maker.
� Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice
maker.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add
stability when needed.
5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the
leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker.
6. Follow the instructions in step 4 to change the height of the
legs.
7. Use the level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even
from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not level,
repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the
"Connect Water Supply" section.
