Unpacking theIce Maker

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install ice maker.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Removing packaging materials

IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels inside your ice maker or the Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the lower access panel.

Space Requirements

■To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side must be completely unobstructed. The unit may be closed-in on the top and three sides, but the installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.

■Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump to carry the water to an existing drain.

■Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F (13°C) and below 100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected 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.

NOTE: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet.

■Remove tape and any labels from your ice maker before using (except the model and serial number label).

■To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

■Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your ice maker.
