Installations Over a Crawl Space or Base

PRE-INSTALLATION

Moving the Unit

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you move the unit into the house using a hand truck or dolly, position the dolly on the side of the unit and secure the door so it does not open while transporting the unit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The floor under the ice maker must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor.

WARNING

Shut off the power to the wall outlet.

CAUTION

Any finished flooring should be protected with appro- priate material to avoid any damage from moving the unit.

Electrical

A 115 volt, 6OHz, 15 amp circuit breaker and electrical supply are required. A separate circuit is required for each unit. Follow the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances when installing the receptacle.

The ice maker is supplied with a cord, and may be plugged into a wall outlet. The ice maker should be the only device using that circuit.

WARNING

Model 315 is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug and they must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding-type wall receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord, or two prong adapter. Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

Do not under any circumstances remove the power supply cord ground prong.

Plumbing

Rough in the water supply line. Connect a 1/4” OD copper line to the house supply. Be sure to use an easily accessi- ble shut-off valve between the supply and the appliance. This shut-off valve should not be installed behind the unit. Do not use “self-piercing” valves. A saddle valve (part #4- 20-088-0) is available from your distributor/dealer. A line filter is required when the water supply has a high miner- al content. The water supply must maintain 20 to 80 psi of water pressure.

The water supply and drain should be roughed in and ready at the point of installation. A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will make the installation easier. All electrical, water and drain connections must conform to local codes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although the Model 315 has been designed to be serviced in place, in some cases it may be necessary to pull the unit out for service. For that reason do not restrict access to the cabinet at the front–top and bottom.

If a floor is to be installed after the ice maker, shims the thickness of the floor should be installed under the Model 315 to keep the ice maker level with the floor. Also, allow 1/8" clearance on each side of the cabinet for protruding screw heads.

INSTALLATIONS ON A SLAB: Use a Model 315P and pump the water to the point of drainage. Pump models will pump one story high.

INSTALLATIONS OVER A CRAWL SPACE OR BASE-

MENT: Either gravity drain or pump model units may be used, if there is not enough room behind the ice maker for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will have to be below the floor.
