CAUTION
Do not use any plastic water supply line. Plastic may crack and could cause damage to your home.
Do not reuse an old hose set. Use a new hose set.
To connect water supply line to ice maker inlet valve:
1.
Disconnect ice maker from electric power supply.
2.
Place the end of water supply line into sink or bucket.
3.
Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and save it for use later.
4.
Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto the water supply line, as shown in Fig. A.
5.
Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (approximately 1/4 inch).
6.
Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; do not
over tighten.
7.
With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of ice maker at location as shown in Fig.A.
8.
Coil excess water supply line (about 2 ½ turns) behind ice maker as shown in Fig.A and arrange coils so they
do not vibrate or rub against any other surface.
9.
Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
10.
Reconnect ice maker to electric power supply.
Although the unit has been tested and cleaned, due to transit and storage, the first batch of ice cubes should be
discarded.
It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice
maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored or have
poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.
IMPORTANT:
Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working. Never touch the evaporator
when the unit is running. Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and insure
proper ice formation.
