Installing the Ice Maker
The ice maker should be installed by a licensed plumber to be in
accordance with local electrical and plumbing code requirements.
Before you plug the ice maker in to a power supply, be sure to let it
stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to
settle.
Unpacking the Ice Maker
WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape
and glue from your ice maker before using. Do not use sharp
instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to
remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your
icemaker. IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product
information labels from your ice maker.
Types of Installation
This ice maker has been designed for free-standing, recessed, or built-
in installation. In every case, there must be adequate ventilation and
access for service.
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 electrical
requirements, water supply and drain, and 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 followed. This installation has the same
requirements as a built-in installation.
Built-in installation:
It is 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 the ice maker in front of the 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 the 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.
