INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Ice Maker
Removing packaging materials
Before using, remove tape and glue from your ice maker. This
includes the tape holding the door closed.
The ice maker is covered with a film. Completely remove the film
before installing the ice maker.
■ To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly
with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily
removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over
the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. Do not
use chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces of the ice
maker. These products can damage the surface of your ice
maker.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the “Ice Maker Care” section.
Location Requirements
■ To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side
must be completely unobstructed. The ice maker 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 or
a Whirlpool supply line Part Number 8212547RB, and a
Whirlpool approved drain pump, Part Number 1901A, only 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 and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C). It is recommended
that the ice maker be installed in an area sheltered 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.
NOTES:
■ Check that the power supply cord is not damaged, or
pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the
cabinet.
■ Check that the water supply line is not damaged, or
pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the
cabinet.
■ Check that the drain line (on some models) is not
damaged, or pinched or kinked between the ice maker
and the 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.
