Electrical:
A 115-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp electrical
supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker,
be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off by a switch or
pull chain.
Recommended grounding method:
This appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having
a 3-prong grounding plug. The cord must be plugged into a mating,
3-prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating
wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the
customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
Water:
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have
questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
IMPORTANT:
• Reverse osmosis water filtration systems can be used only with ice
maker installations that have a gravity drain. A reverse osmosis
system is not recommended for ice makers that have a drain pump
installed.
• The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis
system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be
between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold
water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs
to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
NOTE:
The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of
water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If a
reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house capacity reverse
osmosis system, capable of maintaining the steady water supply
required by the ice maker, is recommended. Faucet capacity reverse
osmosis systems are not able to maintain the steady water supply
required by the ice maker.

Drain lines must have a minimum of 5/8" (1.6 cm)
inside diameter.
Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.5 cm drop
per 122 cm) of run or 1/4" drop per 12"
(0.6 cm per 30.5 cm) of run and must not have low
points where water can settle.
The floor drains must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1-1/2"
(3.8 cm) to 2" (5.1 cm) PVC drain reducer installed
directly below the outlet of the drain tube as shown.
You must maintain a 1" (2.5 cm) air gap between the
drain hose and the standpipe.
It may be desirable to insulate the drain line
thoroughly up to the drain inlet.
