■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 fixtures 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.
