Unpack the Ice Maker

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
Before using, remove tape and glue from your ice maker. This
includes the tape holding the door closed.
The ice maker is covered with a film. Completely remove the film
before installing the ice maker.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, 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 Care" section.

Location Requirements

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 " (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 45°F
(7°C) and below 100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained
between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that
the ice maker be installed in an area sheltered from the
elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.
