3. You will find a strain relief bracket in the accessory package. Fix the power supply cord
below the bracket, as shown in the illustration above.
4. The other end of the power supply cord should be connected to an outlet that is in accordance
with the local electrical code.
NOTE: Your machine is stackable on any of the Franklin Chef® machines mentioned in
this manual. If the machine is to be stacked on top of another machine, a stacking kit will
need to be installed. Refer to the installation instructions included with the stacking kit.
Water Supply
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should
be a minimum of 15 psig with a static pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly
behind the ice maker will make installation easier.)
IMPORTANT:
1. It is extremely important for proper functioning and for the purity and taste of the ice to use a
water filter when installing the machine. Using a water filter will protect your machine and
prevent clogs that result from excess minerals in the water.
2. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Professional
installation is recommended.
3. Water inlet fitting: 3/8” FPT; drain line connection: 1/2” FPT.
4. Make certain that you use a proper water supply hose and drain hose and that the hoses are
not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
5. Check for leaks after connection.
Tools required: 3/8″ open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecting the water line:
1. Turn off main water supply.
2. Find a
½ ″
to ¾ ″
vertical water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less
than the length of the water supply hose.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply.
4. Connect the water supply hose to tap and water inlet valve. Tighten firmly by hand, then
one-half turn with wrench.
5. Connect the water drain hose to drain line connection. Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half
turn with wrench.
6. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every
connection (including connections at the water inlet and drain).
