Installation Types

This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing) installation. However, it can
also be enclosed (as under a cabinet) or Built-in (sealed to the floor). In any case, there must
be adequate air space around the unit for ventilation.
Mobile installation:
A mobile installation will allow you to install the ice maker, free-standing, in any place you
desire provided you have access to a water supply and drain. You must follow the stated
instructions for
a. Electrical requirements
b. Water supply
c. Drain Connection
d. Leveling the ice maker.
Enclosed Installation:
An enclosed installation will allow you to install the ice maker under a cabinet or in a
kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space around the ice maker is respected.
This installation has the same requirements as a mobile installation.
Built-in installation:
If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate ventilation
space around the unit. The following additional items must be observed.
1. Place ice maker in front of installation location. Remove the feet and place the unit flat
on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
2. The water supply line must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker.
3. The drain line must be connected. If you do not have a floor drain, you will require a
condensation pump.
4. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten
every connection (including connection at the water inlet).
5. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker.
6. Push the ice maker into position.
7. Seal all around the cabinet to the floor with an approved caulking compound.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the drain hose is connected and fed into the drain line before the ice
maker is moved into its final position.
