To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed. Allow at least 101 mm (4”) clearance at rear, and 15 mm
(0.6”) at top and sides for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice
maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
•
When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing
dimensions shown. Place electrical and water supplies and drain fixtures in the
recommended locations as shown.
•
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55ºF (13ºC) and below 90ºF
(32ºC). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as
wind, rain, water spray or drips.
•
The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
•
Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 6.35 mm (1/4 in.)
soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve and a gravity-drain system.
(NOTE: Runoff water can also be drained into a sink via a pump – not included –
when a gravity drain is not available.)
•
The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 20
psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding
into the ice maker should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC) for proper
operation.
•
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the
proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very
hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized
water is not recommended.
•
The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in
accordance with state and local codes.
•
The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice
maker to be leveled in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of
the ice maker by revolving the feet. See the “Leveling the Ice Maker” section.

Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 55ºF
(13ºC) to 90ºF (32ºC). Normal operating water temperature
should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC). Operation of
the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal
temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
