4. Connect nuts of the water supply hose to tap and water inlet valve. Tighten firmly by hand, then
one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every
connection (including connections at the water inlet).
IMPORTANT:
When you connect the water supply hose, pay attention to the indications of “Water inlet”
on the machine.
Draining
NOTE: There is a drain line on the ice maker. Please drain water to your drain through the drain line
provided with ice maker.
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet
since the length of
the long drain hose provided is about
5 feet.
2. Find the drain hose on the back of ice maker, and then insert the other side of the hose into the drain
line.
3.
All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 1/4” per foot. An air gap will likely be required
between the ice maker drain hose and the drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap below it
would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for proper drainage.
Note: a condensate pump can allow for installation further from your drain. Consult your plumber for
advice.
Installation Types
This ice maker is designed for free-standing, recessed, or built-in installation. In every setting, there
must be adequate ventilation and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed
area, such as a closed cabinet.
Free-standing installation:
A free-standing installation will allow you to install the icemaker in any place you desire provided you
have access to a water supply and a drain. You must follow the stated instructions for:
a - Electrical requirements
b - Water supply and drain
c - Leveling the icemaker
Recessed installation:
A recessed installation will allow you to install the ice maker under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet
provided the required clearance space around the ice maker is respected. This installation has the
same requirements as a built-in installation.
Built-in installation:
If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate ventilation space
around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the back of the unit). The following
additional items must be observed.
1. Place ice maker in front of installation location. Remove the feet and place the unit flat on the floor
or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
2. The water supply pipe must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker. Install the drain line
into your drain.
3. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten any
connections (including connections at the tie-in).
4. If electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker.
5. Push the ice maker into position.
6. Seal all around the cabinet to the floor with an approved caulking compound.
