Important:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Important: When you connect the water supply hose, pay attention to the
“Water inlet”
labels on the ice maker.
Water Supply Connections
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should
be a minimum of 20 psig with a static pressure not more than 120 psig. (A wall outlet directly
behind the ice maker will make installation easier.) The temperature of the water feeding into
the ice maker should be between 41° F and 90° F for proper operation.
Connecting the Water Line:
Tools required:
½” Open-end Wrench, Phillips Screwdriver
1. Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
2. Find a

" vertical cold water inlet of soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve near the
installation location. The distance should be less than six (6) feet. The water supply
hose provided with the ice maker is about six (6) feet long. Drains are not required for
this unit.
3. Connect the nuts of the water supply hose to the tap and water inlet valve. Tighten the
nuts firmly by hand, then one-half turn with the wrench.
4. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks.
Tighten every connection (including connections at the water inlet).
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter can remove taste and
odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white,
mushy cubes that stick together. De-ionized water is not recommended.
Operation
Final Check List Before Operation
1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the ice
maker?
2. Did you clean the ice storage bin?
3. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to water and
electricity?
4. Has the machine been leveled?
5. Is the ice maker in a site where the ambient temperature is between 50º F and 90º F and
the water temperature is between 41º F and 90º F all year round?
