ICE MAKER SAFETY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Ice Maker
Removing Packaging Materials
Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
■To remove any remaining tape or glue from the exterior of the
ice maker, 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. Do not use
chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces of the ice
maker. These products can damage the surface of your ice
maker.
Cleaning Before Use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of
your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the
“Ice Maker Care” section.
Location Requirements
■To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side
must be completely unobstructed. The ice maker 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 shutoff 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 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained
between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C).
■The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered from the
elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.

4
■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.
NOTES:
■Be sure the power supply cord is not pinched between the
ice maker and the cabinet.
■Be sure the water supply line is not pinched between the
ice maker and the cabinet.
■Be sure the drain line (on some models) is not pinched
between the ice maker and the cabinet.
■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.”
Electrical Requirements
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- or 20-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.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the power
supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality may be
affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of
the ice appears poor, dispose of it.
Recommended grounding method
The ice maker must be grounded. The ice maker is equipped with
a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. 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.
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:
■Reverse osmosis water filtration systems can be used only
with ice maker installations that have a gravity drain. A reverse
osmosis system is not recommended for ice makers that have
a drain pump installed.
■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).
NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of
water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If
a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house capacity
reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the steady water
supply required by the ice maker, is recommended. Faucet
capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to maintain the
steady water supply required by the ice maker.
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. 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.
■9" 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 the 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 the 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 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the
“Connect Water Supply” section.
Connect Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
■Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number
8212547RP, and check for leaks.
■Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Tools needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
■Flat-blade screwdriver
■⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
■¹⁄₄" nut driver
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Connecting the Water Line
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
2. Using a ¹⁄₂" copper supply line with a quarter-turn shutoff valve
or the equivalent, connect the ice maker as shown.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the ice maker a
minimum ¹⁄₂" size copper supply line is recommended.
3. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.
■Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.
Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
■Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper
tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end
squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto
outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
4. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible
water valve malfunction.
5. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is
located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown. Leave
a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be pulled out
of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

of the water line inlet.
7. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by
hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not
overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not
touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.
8. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply
line to reduce strain on the coupling.
9. Turn shutoff valve ON.
10. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Drain Connection
Gravity Drain System
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all
state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided
with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines when installing
drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing back into the ice
maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor causing
water damage.
■Drain lines must have a minimum of ⁵⁄₈" (15.88 mm) inside
diameter.
■Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per
122 cm) of run or ¹⁄₄" drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of
run and must not have low points where water can settle.
■The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
■The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1¹⁄₂" (3.81 cm) to
2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the
outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a
1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the
standpipe.
■It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to
the drain inlet.

Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you.
Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned
about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces
such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem
louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of
sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
■You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to
fill the water reservoir for each cycle.
■Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or
the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also
make noises.
■The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high
pitched sound.
■Water running over the evaporator plate may make a
splashing sound.
■Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir
may make a splashing sound.
■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
■You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
■During the harvest cycle, you may hear a “thud” when the ice
sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.
■When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running
continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse
cycle before it begins to make ice.
ICE MAKER USE
How Your Ice Maker Works
When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill and the
system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing
process takes about 5 minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will cycle at
preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located in the ice
storage bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT:
■If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be sure to set
the ice maker control to OFF.
■The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the majority
of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are
unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.
The Ice Making Process
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the
water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected.
This produces a sheet of ice with a low mineral content.

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.
WARNING

2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is
released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the
sheet into individual cubes.
3. The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after
each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the ice
maker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is
needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will
occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the
amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher
operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.
Using the Controls
1. To start the normal ice making cycle, press ON.
2. To stop ice maker operation, press OFF.
NOTES:
■Pressing the ON/OFF switch does not shut off power to
the ice maker.
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first batch produced.
Speed Ice Mode
Select the Speed Ice feature when you have an upcoming need
for a large amount of ice and the ice bin is low or empty. The
Speed Ice mode will produce a greater quantity of ice in a 24-hour
period.
■Press and hold SPEED ICE while the ice maker is on. The
indicator light will illuminate.
■Press and hold SPEED ICE again to turn off the Speed Ice
feature. The indicator light will turn off.
Service
The service light indicates when service is needed. If the service
light turns on, turn the ice maker off and back on. If the service
light turns on again, call for service.
Clean/Reset
The Clean/Reset Status light will help you know when it is time to
clean your ice maker. The light will change to yellow. This tells you
it is almost time to clean your ice maker. It is recommended that
you clean the ice maker when the status light changes to red OR
ice production decreases significantly. To clean your ice maker,
see “Ice Maker System” in the “Cleaning” section.
ICE MAKER CARE
Cleaning
The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be
cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency
and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the
“Ice Maker System” and the “Condenser” sections.
Exterior Surfaces
Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water
and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good
household appliance cleaner and wax will help maintain the finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they may
scratch the finish.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on the stainless
steel surfaces.
Ice Maker System
Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will
eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning
the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How
often you need to clean the system depends upon how hard your
water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/
liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every
6months.
NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker
cleaner. To order, call 1-800-JENNAIR and ask for Part Number
4396808. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.
1. Press the selector switch to OFF.
2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin.
Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan
located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to
drain completely.
4. Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain
cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will
have either thin ice or no ice.
5. Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle
before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL)
bottle of approved ice maker cleaner.

10
6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the bottle
twice with tap water and pour it into the water pan.
7. Press the CLEAN button. See “Using the Controls.” The light
will blink, indicating that the cleaning cycle is in process.
When the indicator light turns green (approximately
70 minutes), the cleaning cycle is complete. During the
cleaning cycle, the system will both clean and rinse itself.
8. After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove the drain cap
from the water pan. Look for any cleaning solution left in the
