Leveling

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.

■9" level

■Adjustable wrench

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

1.Move the ice maker to its final location.

NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as close as possible to the final location.

2.Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if the ice maker is level from front to back and side to side.

3.Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker.

4.Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as follows:

■Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the ice maker.

■Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice maker.

NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add stability when needed.

5.Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker.

6.Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the legs.

7.Use a carpenter’s level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not level, repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the “Connect Water Supply” section.

■¹⁄₄" nut driver

■¹⁄₄" drill bit

■Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded

NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the water line

1.Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

2.Find a ¹⁄₂" (12.70 mm) to 1¹⁄₄" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the ice maker.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

3.Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

4.Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten the pipe clamp or you may crush cold water pipe if it is soft copper tubing. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

5.Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.

■Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

■Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

Read all directions thoroughly before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

■Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

■Flat-blade screwdriver

■⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

A. Cold water pipe

E. Compression nut

B. Pipe clamp

F. Compression sleeve

C. Copper tubing

G. Shutoff valve

D. Coupling (purchased)

H. Packing nut

6.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible water valve malfunction.

7.Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown. Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
