and plumbing fixtures

B, Floor level

You should choose a location where the floor is even. It is
important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker
by changing the height of the leveling legs. See “Leveling.”

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, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle
is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to
have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.

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 - 4 1 4 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.

^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 15-amp electrical supply, properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances, is required.

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.

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 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.
