Water Supply Requirements, Leveling, A B C D E

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa). The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.79 L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation.

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

■Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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.

Tools required

■Carpenter’s level

To adjust the leveling legs

Your ice maker has four adjustable leveling legs to help you steady the product and make sure it is level.

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

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

2.Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the leveling legs that are on the bottom of the product.

3.Change the height of the legs as follows:

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

■Turn the leveling legs 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.

4.Use a carpenter's level to make sure the ice make is level from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not level, repeat steps 2 and 3. If the ice maker is level, go to the “Connect Water Supply” section.

Connect Water Supply

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.

■Close the shutoff valve when the water temperature is below freezing to avoid damage to the tubing.

■Do not operate ice maker when the water supply is off.

Connecting the water

Connect the ice maker to the water supply using the ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) water inlet on the rear of the ice maker. Be sure to use a potable water supply. The water supply line must have a shutoff valve and a bin drain outlet installed.
