INSTALLING YOUR 
ICE MAKER
Unpacking the Ice Maker
Removing packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction 
labels inside your ice maker or the Tech Sheet that is 
fastened behind the lower access panel.
Remove tape and any labels from your ice maker 
before using (except the model and serial number 
label).
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.
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. 
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 “Caring for Your Ice Maker” section.
Space Requirements
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 
¹⁄₄" (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 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.
NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord 
between the ice maker and cabinet.
1. Recommended Location for Electrical and
    Plumbing Fixtures. 
2. Floor Level
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 position of the rear 
wheels. See the “Leveling the Ice Maker” section.
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.
