KitchenAid 15'' Automatic Ice Maker Installation Guide

Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.

■

To remove any remaining tape or glue from the exterior of the 
ice maker, 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.

■

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable 
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. Do not 
use chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces of the ice 
maker. These products can damage the surface of your 
ice maker. 

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.

■

To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side 
must be completely unobstructed. The ice maker 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 

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff valve or 

a Whirlpool supply line Part Number 8212547RB, and a 
Whirlpool approved drain pump, Part Number 1901A, only to 
carry the water to an existing drain.

■

Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F 
(13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained 
between 70°F and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C). 

■

The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered from the 
elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.

■

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.

NOTES: 

■

Check that the power supply cord is not damaged or 
pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the 
cabinet.

■

Check that the water supply line is not damaged or 
pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the 
cabinet. 

■

Check that the drain line (on some models) is not 
damaged or pinched or kinked between the ice maker 
and the cabinet.
