II. Installation and Operating Instructions

 WARNING

• The icemaker must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and 

local codes and regulations.

• Failure to install, operate, and maintain the icemaker in accordance with this 

manual will adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty 
coverage and may result in costly water damage.

• 

CHOKING HAZARD:

 Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews 

are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the 
dispenser unit/ice storage bin.

A. Location

NOTICE

• The icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient 

temperature must be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C); Normal operating 
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 Appliance for Periods of Non-Use."

• The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat producing 

equipment.

• 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.

• The location should provide a firm and level foundation for the equipment.
