Installation
The ice maker should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The ice maker
should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind
that it will weigh more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the ice maker into a
power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils
to settle.
Unpacking the Ice Maker
Warning: Use two or more people to move and install the ice maker. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any
shipping tape and glue from your ice maker before use. Do not use sharp instruments,
rubbing alcohol, ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your ice maker.
!
Warning: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your ice
maker.
Warning: This device does not meet Federal requirements for ignition protection. Don’t
install it in spaces containing gasoline engines, fuel tanks, or fuel line ttings. Failure to
comply could result in accidental injury or death.

• Choose a well-ventilated installation area. This unit MUST be installed in a location protected from
the elements, such as rain and water spray or drips.
• This unit should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat sources.
• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 1/4” tubing with a shut-o󰀨 valve
within six (6) feet of the installation location.
• The installation must allow the ice maker to be pulled forward so that the rear can be accessed for
service.
• This unit is designed to be operated in ambient temperatures between 50° F and 95° F. High
ambient temperatures (95° F or higher) may reduce the ice production rate. For the best
performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat-generating equipment.
• The unit must sit on a secure and level surface. A mounting ange must NOT be used to support
the unit’s weight. 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 rubber leveling feet.
• If you are mounting the unit within cabinetry, make sure that the door has the desired range of
motion. All doors come with the hinge on the right side, but can be reversed if desired.
• All electrical and water connections for the unit must be installed in accordance with all state and
local codes.
• A standard electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances is required.
