KitchenAid KUIO15NNLS Ice Maker User Manual

Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side
must have at least 15" (38.1 cm) of clearance. The unit may
be closed-in on the top and three sides, but the installation
should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing
if necessary.
Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet
of ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff valve
and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump to
carry the water to an existing drain.
Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 45°F
(7°C) and below 100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained
between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that
the unit be installed in an area protected from the elements,
such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.
When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the
recommended opening dimensions shown. Place electrical
and plumbing fixtures in the recommended location as
shown.
NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between
the ice maker and cabinet.
Do not kink or pinch the water supply line between the ice
maker and cabinet.
Do not kink or pinch the drain line (on some models) between
the ice maker and cabinet.
You should choose a location where the floor is even. It is
important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker
by changing the height of the front and rear leveling legs. See
“Leveling.”
For better performance and higher energy efficiency, do not
operate in direct sunlight.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice
maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the
power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality
may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the
condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This
appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle
is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to
have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
