KitchenAid 18" Outdoor Automatic Ice Maker Uso Y Cuidado

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Ice Maker

Before using, remove tape and glue from your ice maker. This 
includes the tape holding the door closed.

The ice maker is covered with a film. Completely remove the film 
before installing the ice maker.

■

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. 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.

Location Requirements

■

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 45°F 
(7°C) and below 100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained 
between 70°F and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C). It is recommended 
that the ice maker 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.

■

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.

■

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 front and rear leveling legs. See 
“Leveling.”

■

For better performance and higher energy efficiency, do not 
operate in direct sunlight.
