WARNING

 

Ambient operational temperature should be between 50°F and 100°F. The water temperature 
entering the unit should be between 41°F and 90°F.  Operating outside these temperatures may 
result in lowered production or other adverse effects. 

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

BEFORE USING YOUR ICE MAKER 

• 

Remove exterior and interior packing materials. 

• 

Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or data label on the icemaker. 

• 

Remove tape and glue from the icemaker before using. Tape or glue residue can be easily removed 
by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm 
water and dry. 

• 

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive cleaners to remove 
tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of the icemaker. 

• 

Clean the inside of the icemaker before use. Follow “interior cleaning” instructions under the 
Cleaning and Maintenance section. 

 

 

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS 
This icemaker is designed for freestanding, recessed or built-in installation. In any case, there must

INSTALLATION OF YOUR ICE MAKER 

• 

Have two or more people to move and install this icemaker. Failure to do so can result in back or 
other injury. 

• 

This icemaker should be installed by a licensed plumber only. 

• 

To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 4” of clearance at the rear and 1” at 
the top and sides. This installation will allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing when needed. 

• 

When installing the icemaker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. 
Place electrical and water supplies and drain fixtures in the recommended locations as shown. 

• 

Choose a well ventilated area with temperature between 50°F to 100°F. This unit MUST be installed 
in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water spray or drips. 

• 

The icemaker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psig and a static 
pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the icemaker should be 
between 41°F to 90°F for proper operation. 

 
 

• 

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
