CAUTION
To prevent damage to equipment, do not operate this icemaker when the
water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG (0.7 bar). Do not run
the icemaker until proper water pressure is reached.
* Water supply inlet is 1/2” female pipe thread (FPT).
* A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed. A minimum of 3/8”
OD copper tubing is recommended for the water supply lines.
* Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG (0.7 bar) and a maximum of
113 PSIG (7.5 bar). If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG (7.5 bar), the use of a pressure
reducing valve is required.
* Drain outlet for icemaker dump is 3/4” FPT.
* Drain lines must have 1/4” fall per foot (2 cm per meter) on horizontal runs to get good
flow. A vented tee connection is also required for proper flow.

4) When installing the unit without legs, the perimeter where the machine touches the
counter should be sealed with silicone to prevent water from leaking under the icemaker.
5) When installing the unit with legs on the bottom, use the four accessory legs adjustable
from 6” (15.2 cm) to 7” (17.8 cm). Screw the legs tightly into the tapped holes in the
base (see Fig. 3). Handle the icemaker carefully not to damage the exterior.
