Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This
appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle
is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to
have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.

Leveling the Ice Maker

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.
Tools required
Carpenter's level
Adjustable wrench
" socket wrench
Undercounter installation
If you are installing the ice maker under a countertop, then you
may need to adjust the height of the ice maker. The adjustable
rear wheels are preset to position 1 for a cabinet opening height
of 3 4" (86.4 cm).
1. For cutout height of 34" (86.4 cm)
2. For cutout height of 34 " (86.7 cm)
3. For cutout height of 34
4. For cutout height of 34 " (87.6 cm)
To adjust the rear wheel height
1. Using a " socket wrench, remove the five screws from the
rear access panel and carefully pull the panel away from the
drain hose.
2. Using a " or adjustable wrench, remove the screw that
holds the rear wheel.
NOTE: Pushing up against the top back of the ice maker
takes some of the weight off of the wheels. This makes it
easier to remove the screws.
3. Move the rear wheel and screw to a new position as needed
for your cabinet opening height. Tighten the screw
completely.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to change the position of the wheel on
the other side.
5. Replace the rear panel and screws. Be sure that the drain
tube is positioned in the opening provided.
6. Use the front leveling legs to make sure the product is level.
" (87.2 cm)
To adjust the front leveling legs
Your ice maker has two adjustable leveling legs to help you
steady the product and make sure it is level.
SUGGESTION: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have
another person to assist you.
1. Place a carpenter's level on top of the product to see if the ice
maker is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the
leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the product.
3. 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.
4. Use a carpenter's level to re-check 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 and 3 . If the ice maker is level, go to
the "Connecting the Ice Maker to a Water Source" section.
Freestanding installation
If you are not installing your ice maker under a countertop, you
will probably not need to adjust the rear wheel height. Follow the
steps outlined in "To adjust the front leveling legs" earlier in this
section.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add
stability when needed.
Connecting the Ice Maker to a Water
Source
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
codes requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.
Tools required:
Standard screwdriver
in. and in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable
wrenches
in. nut driver
in. drill bit
Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded
NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a
in. (6.3 5 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-
type or in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
