We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean: DANGER WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your ice maker, follow these basic precautions: s s s s Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. s s s s Disconnect power before cleaning. Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Use two or more people to move and install ice maker. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Unpack the Ice Maker NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet. WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. 34" (86.4 cm) Min. 341/2" (87.6 cm) Max. 141/2" (36.8 cm) A Removing Packaging Materials Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using. s To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. s 281/2" (72.4 cm) 31/2" 9" (8.9 cm) (22.9 cm) 24" (60.1 cm) B 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 ice maker. 18" (45.7 cm) A. Recommended location for electrical and plumbing fixtures. B. Floor level s Cleaning Before Use After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the "Ice Maker Care" section. You should choose a location where the floor is even. It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by changing the height of the leveling legs. See the "Leveling" section. Location Requirements s To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side must be completely unobstructed. The unit may be closed-in on the top and three sides, but the installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary. Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of ¹/" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump to carry the water to an existing drain. Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F (13°C) and below 100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips. When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended opening dimensions shown. Place electrical and plumbing fixtures in the recommended location as shown. Electrical Requirements WARNING s s Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection: A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15-amp electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. s 4 Recommended grounding method For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add stability when needed. Water Supply Requirements A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. 5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker. 6. Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the legs. 7. Use a carpenter's level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not level, repeat steps 3 to 6. If the ice maker is level, go to the "Connect Water Supply" section. Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa). The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal (3.79L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa): s Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary. s Connect Water Supply Read all directions thoroughly before you begin. IMPORTANT: s Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances. Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing. s s Tools needed: Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. s Flat-blade screwdriver s s s s Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. /" and ¹/" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches ¹/" nut driver ¹/" drill bit Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded Leveling It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for undercounter installations. Tools needed: Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. s Carpenter's level s NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a ¹/" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³/" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
