during installation.
The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum
pressure of 15 psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig.
The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be
between 41°F and 90°F for proper operation.
Deionized water is not recommended for use with this unit.
Ensure that the hoses are not damaged during installation and check for
leaks after connecting the water line.
Connecting the water line
Tools required:
o ½ inch open-end wrench
o Phillips head screwdriver
1. Turn off the main water supply and turn on the nearest faucet long
enough to clear the line of any remaining water.
2. Find a ½" to ¾" vertical cold water pipe within range of the install
location (the water supply hose provided with the ice maker is 9 feet
long).
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the
water pipe has a plain piece of copper tubing, attach a ¼” O.D.
compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect the nut of the water supply hose to the tap, and connect the
other end to the water inlet. Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn
with the wrench.
5. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection
leaks. Tighten every connection (including the connection at the water
inlet).
IMPORTANT: Pay close attention to the “Water inlet” and “Drain outlet”
markings when connecting the water supply hose and drain hose.
Connecting the drain line
The drain line must be connected before using the ice maker. If there is a drain
line near the ice maker or if the unit is to be used outside, it is best to drain
water to the drain line through the drain hose provided with the ice maker.
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The ice maker should be located
less than 5 feet from the nearest floor drain. The length of the drain hose
provided is 5 feet.
2. Remove the rear drainage plug from the drain outlet at the rear of the ice
maker.
3. Connect the nut of the drain outlet to the water draining hose, and insert
the other side of the hose into the drain line. Never allow the drain hose
to hang or loop higher than the bottom of the ice storage bin.
4. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼ inch per foot. An air
gap will likely be required between the ice maker drain tube and the
drain/waste receptacle. A standpipe with a trap below it or a floor drain is
acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle.
5. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks in the
drainage system. Tighten any connections that leak.
IMPORTANT: This ice maker is not a freezer. Infrequent drainage will cause a
high rate of melting in the ice storage bin.
Reversing the door swing
IMPORTANT: Before you begin, unplug the ice maker from the wall outlet.
