Recessed installation:
A recessed installation will allow you to install the ice maker under a counter, or in a
kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space around the ice maker is respected.
This installation has the same requirements as a built-in installation.
Built-in installation:
If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate
ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the
back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed.
1. Place ice maker in front of installation location. Remove the feet and place the unit
flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
2. The water supply pipe must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker. Install the
drain line into your drain.
3. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten
any connections (including connections at the tie-in).
4. If electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker.
5. Push the ice maker into position.
6. Seal all around the cabinet to the floor with an approved caulking compound.
