SECTION 3
(INSTALLATION)
SITE PREPARATION:
The icemaker needs to be mounted in an area where it will physically fit, as well as
accommodate an unblocked intake vent. In addition, you need to insure there is
enough space for the water hose to be connected.
A. INSTALLING THE ICE MAKER:
1.
Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of
the unit. Remember, when the unit has produced its ice, the weight will be
substantially higher. A fiberglass shelf may be necessary for a proper installation.
2.
Ensure that there is room behind the unit for your water hose connection and
power supply. It is advisable to leave extra water line to prevent kinking
(described later).
3.
Your Mermaid product has been designed for either free standing (I-3 model) or
built-in installation (I-3i model). When built-in, your Mermaid product does not
require additional air space for top, sides, or rear. However, the front grill MUST
NOT be obstructed. It is advisable to have at least a 1/8” to a ¼” size over the
standard unit size. This will aid in the installation and removal of the unit.

4.
If your unit was ordered with a mounting flange, the unit should have arrived with
it pre-attached. If you would later like to build the icemaker in, we are able to
provide you with the mounting flange for a later installation. Simply contact the
factory and we would be happy to assist.
