INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Icemaker
1. Remove the exterior and interior packing.
CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours
to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize.
Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this appliance.
2. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
3. Install the handle on the left side of the door.
Installation of Your Icemaker
●
This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
●
Place your icemaker on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your
icemaker, adjust the front leveling legs.
●
For free-
standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance, and
4” (102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor
and condenser. Even for built-
in installation, keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top and
2” (51mm) at the rear. If the appliance has an air vent at the front, take care that it is never covered or
blocked in any way.
●
Locate the icemaker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.
●
Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
●
Plug the icemaker into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified or authorized product
service center.
Connecting Your Water Line
The in-cabinet icemaker produces and stores up to eight pounds of crescent ice cubes in a removable
bin. Producing ice requires purchasing a ¼” OD copper tubing kit, which can be found at most hardware
or plumbing supply stores. The kit contains all the hardware necessary to connect your in-cabinet
icemaker to the water supply.
Forming the copper tubing
Loop the tubing coming from the water valve, as shown. Position the coiled copper tubing near the
center of the appliance so that it forms an “accordion fold” (see diagram below) for when the icemaker is
moved to and from the wall.
