IMPORTANT:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Professional installation is recommended.
2. Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Tools required: ½? open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecting the water line:
1. Turn off main water supply.
2. Find a ½? to ¾? vertical water pipe near the installation location. The distance
should be less than 9 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about
9 feet long.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a
plain piece of copper tubing, attach a ¼?O.D. compression union to the tubing and
remove the nut.
4. Connect nuts of the water supply hose to tap and water inlet valve. Tighten firmly by
hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten
every connection (including connections at the water inlet).
NOTE: If using a water filter, be sure to follow the filter manufacturer’s directions.
Installation Types
This ice cube machine has been designed to be enclosed (as under a cabinet). It can also
be free-standing (using the supplied stability brackets) or built-in (sealed to the floor). In
every case, there must be adequate air space around the unit for ventilation purposes (see
diagrams on page 8).
Enclosed Installation:
An enclosed installation will allow you to install the ice cube machine under a counter or
in a kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space around the ice maker is
respected. You must follow the stated instructions for
a. Electrical requirements
b. Water supply
Free-standing Installation:
The ice cube machine can be installed to be free-standing in any place you desire
provided you have access to a water supply. This installation has the same requirements
as an enclosed installation, plus you must also follow the stated instructions for Installing
the Stability Brackets.
Built-in Installation:
If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate
ventilation space around the unit. The following additional items must be observed.
1. Place the ice cube machine in front of the installation location. Raise the machine and
place it on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
2. The water supply line must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker.
3. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks.
Tighten every connection (including connections at the water inlet).
4. If the 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.
