Installation Types

This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing) installation. It can also be Enclosed (as under a cabinet) or Built-in (sealed to the floor), although this last option is not the preferred method of installation. In every case, there must be adequate air space around the unit for ventilation purposes (see diagrams on page 8).

Mobile Installation:

A mobile installation will allow you to install the icemaker free-standing in any place you desire provided you have access to a water supply and drainage facilities. You must follow the stated instructions for

a. Electrical requirements

b. Water supply and drain connections c. Leveling the icemaker.

Enclosed Installation:

An enclosed installation will allow you to install the ice maker under a cabinet, or in a kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space around the ice maker is respected. This installation has the same requirements as a mobile installation.

The unit should be placed in the cabinet by sliding it into the cabinet’s opening and then leveling it properly.

IMPORTANT: For Mobile and Enclosed installations you must use flexible water and drain connections to the water supply and drain. This will allow the moving of the ice maker for cleaning. Use the water and drain hoses supplied with the unit for these connections.

Built-in Installation:

If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit. The following additional items must be observed.

1.Place the ice maker in front of the installation location. Remove the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.

2.The water supply line and drain line must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker.

3.Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

4.Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain connec- tions and the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak. (This procedure will also indicate if the drainpipe is kinked or pinched.)
