Toensure p roper ventilation foryouricemaker, thefront s ide
must b ecompletely unobstructed.
The unitmay beclosed-in
onthetopand three sides, buttheinstallation should allow
theicemaker tobepulled forward f orservicing ifnecessary.
Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet
of 1/4"(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff 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. Place electrical
and plumbing fixtures in the recommended
location as
shown.
NOTE:
Be sure the power supply cord is not pinched between
the ice maker and the cabinet.
Be sure the water supply line is not pinched between the
ice maker and the cabinet.
Be sure the drain line (on some models) is not pinched
between the ice maker and the cabinet.

A. Recommended location for electrical
and plumbing fixtures
B. Floor level
You should 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 "Leveling."
Electrical
Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension
cord,
Failure to follow
these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical
shock.
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended
that a separate circuit, serving only your ice
maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the
power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality
may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the
condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.
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.
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If
you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis
Water Supply
IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice
maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.79L) of water
per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation.
