Installation must allow removal of the ice machine for
cleaning and service. Service diagnostics are per-

swing may be limited due to handle contact with the
adjacent wall or cabinet. A 90° door stop is provided.

(457) of a trash
container, compactor or recycling container.
• Do not install the ice machine near heat-generating
equipment.
• The installation location must not obstruct airflow
through the kickplate.
• The installation location must be free of airborne and
other contaminants.
• The ambient air temperature must be between 50°F
(10°C) and 100°F (38°C) for indoor models and between
50°F
(10°C) and 110°F (43°C) for outdoor models.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to follow installation require-
ments of the ice machine may affect warranty coverage.
The ice machine must be protected if it will be
exposed to ambient temperatures below 32°F
(0°C).
Component failure caused by exposure to freezing

Installation
B
efore moving the ice machine into position, make sure all
opening dimensions, electrical and plumbing requirements
are complete and accurate. The floor under the ice
machine must be at the same level as the surrounding
finished floor.
Move the ice maker into position near the installation
opening. Remove and discard all packing materials.
Remove the literature packet and drain hose from inside
the ice machine. The bin thermostat clip is shipped with
tape holding it in position. Remove the tape. Also, remove
the tape securing the water shutters.
Although the ice machine has been designed to be
serviced in place, in some cases it may be necessary to
slide the unit out for service or cleaning. The installation
must allow for removal of the unit.
Before moving the ice machine into position, protect
any finished flooring to avoid damage.
