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.
