3. Using pliers, remove the hinge covers from the top and
bottom hinges.
NOTE: Save the hinge covers for future use. Reinstall the
hinge covers if product is removed from cabinet installation.
4. For custom panel installation, install the door panel according
to the instructions in the “Custom Wood Panel” section.
5. Use ice maker leveling legs to align ice maker door to the
adjacent cabinet opening.
6. Slide ice maker into the cabinet while managing the utility
connection positions behind the ice maker. Be sure to cover
the oor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid damaging it.
IMPORTANT: For the custom panel model ush install, the ice
maker utility connections must be routed out through the slot
in the ice maker rear panel. Any time ice maker is removed for
service, do the same process when placing the unit back in
the cabinets.
7. Be sure that the ice maker is at desired depth. Secure the top
and bottom hinges to the side of the cabinet using wood
screws.
8. Attach the cabinet brackets (provided with ice maker) to the
holes in the front of ice maker as shown in the illustration.
Attach the cabinet brackets to the side of the cabinet with
wood screws.

6. Remove and discard the short, plastic tube from the end of
the water line inlet.
7. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by
hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not
overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not
touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.
8. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply
line to reduce strain on the coupling. For custom panel
models, skip this step.
9. Turn shutoff valve ON.
10. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Leveling and Securing
It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you
may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also
use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for
undercounter installations.
Tools Needed
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another
person to assist you.

to cover the oor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid
damaging it.
NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as
close as possible to the nal location.
