Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong,
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 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 - 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 - 414 kPa). The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal (3.79L) 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 - 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. 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.
■Carpenter’s 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
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 3 to 6. 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.
