• To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Allow at least 101 mm (4”) clearance at rear, and 15 mm (0.6”) at top and sides
for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for
servicing if necessary.
• When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions
shown. Place electrical and water supplies and drain fixtures in the recommended locations
as shown.
• Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55ºF (13ºC) and below 80ºF (27ºC).
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water
spray or drips.
• The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) soft
copper tubing with a shut-off valve and a gravity-drain system.
(NOTE: Run-off water can also be drained into a sink via a pump – not included – when a
gravity drain is not available.)
• The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 20psig and a
static pressure not to exceed 80psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice
maker should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC) for proper operation.
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 55ºF
(13ºC) to 80ºF (27ºC). Normal operating water temperature
should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC). Operation of
the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal
temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
• In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type,
can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may
result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized water is not recommended.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance
with state and local codes.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice maker to be
leveled in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by
revolving the feet. See the Leveling the Ice Maker section.
