Installation
CAUTION
Observe and follow all local plumbing 
codes when installing this appliance. 
After completing the installation, turn 
on the water and recheck the drain 
and water connections for leaks.
This ice machine must be connected to a 
potable cold water supply line delivering 
water pressure between a minimum of 20 
psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water 
supply which is available at any local 
hardware or plumbing supply store. 
Route the 1⁄4" copper tubing to suit your 
installation being sure not to kink the 
tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing 
length to allow a coil to be formed behind 
the unit for a "service loop" which will allow 
the appliance to be pulled out from the 
installation for servicing or cleaning (Figure 
5). Connect the copper tubing to the "top 
side" of a cold water pipe to prevent the 
ice-maker from plugging with sediment. 
A shutoff valve is recommended on the 
water supply line to ease servicing the 
appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING 
TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as 
they are prone to clogging with sediment 
which will create pressure drop reducing 
the water supply to the unit. 
Connect the copper tubing water supply to 
the water valve inlet with the compression 
nut fitting provided. Secure the water 
supply line to the back of the cabinet with 
the screw and strain relief clamp provided 
in the corner of the back panel (Figure 5).
Make certain all connections are watertight 
after installation. Form the tubing so that it 
will not vibrate against the cabinet body or 
kink when your appliance is moved in and 
out of position.
This ice machine is designed to make 
clear ice from the majority of water 
sources on a daily basis. If your results are 
unsatisfactory, your water may need to be 
filtered or treated. A water specialist can 
recommend proper water treatment.
Connecting the Water 
Supply
NOTE
•  The water line fitting is to be used 
with copper tubing only. Do not 
use with plastic tubing since it 
may crack or rupture with age.
•  Do not use any thread sealers on 
this water line fitting.
•  Reverse osmosis, (RO), water, 
softened water, and de-ionized 
water are not recommended as 
they will adversely affect the 
quality of the ice.

Once all connections have been made, 
plug in the power cord and gently push 
the unit into position. Allow at least 
1-1/2 inches clearance behind the unit 
for electrical, water supply and drain 
connections.
