water temperature must be within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C). Operation of the
icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may
affect icemaker performance.
• The icemaker will not work at sub-freezing temperatures. To prevent damage
to the water supply line, drain the icemaker if the air temperature is going to go
below 32°F (0°C). See "IV. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of Non-Use."
• The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat producing
equipment.
• For all models except KM-1601SAJ/3, allow 6" (15 cm) clearance at rear, sides, and top for
proper air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required. For
KM-1601SAJ/3, allow 9" (23 cm) clearance at rear, sides, and top.
