INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Ice Maker
Removing Packaging Materials
Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
■ To remove any remaining tape or glue from the exterior of the
ice maker, 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 ngers. Wipe
with warm water and dry.
■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable
uids, 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 55°F
(13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained
between 70°F and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C).
■ The ice maker must 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 xtures 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.
