UNPACKING YOUR APPLIANCE
!WARNING
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
Use two or more people to move product.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
Remove Interior Packaging
Your appliance has been packed for shipment with all parts
that could be damaged by movement securely fastened.
Remove internal packing materials and any tape holding in-
ternal components in place. The owners manual is shipped
inside the product in a plastic bag along with the warranty
registration card and other accessory items.
Important
Keep your carton and packaging until your appliance has
been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condi-
tion. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed as
proof of damage in transit. Afterwards, please dispose of all
items responsibly.
Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly
inspected before leaving our plant. Responsibility for its
safe delivery was assumed by the retailer upon acceptance
of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in
transit must be made to the retailer.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE
MANUFACTURER - FILE THE CLAIM WITH THE RETAIL-
ER.
NOTE
!WARNING
WARNING - Dispose of the plastic bags which can
be a suff ocation hazard.
!CAUTION
!WARNING
WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suff ocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandonded refrigerators are still
dangerous, even if they sit outside for “just a few hours”.
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please fol-
low the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not
• easily climb inside.
If the appliance was shipped, handled or stored in other
than an upright position for any period of time, allow the ap-
pliance to sit upright for a period of at least 24 hours before
plugging in. This will assure oil returns to the compressor.
Plugging the appliance in immediately may cause damage
to internal parts.

ELECTRICAL
NOTE
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
They can be hazardous and can degrade product
performance.
• This appliance should not, under any circum-
stances, be installed to an un-grounded electrical
supply. Do not remove the grounding prong from
the power cord.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not splash or spray water from a hose on
the appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical
shock, which may result in severe injury or death.
!WARNING
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-
sance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down.
GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equip-
ment that must run unattended for long periods of time, un-
less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.
Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not have a
grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obli-
gation of the customer to provide the proper power supply.
The third-ground prong should not, under any circumstanc-
es, be cut or removed.
Do not remove

If necessary, to gain clearance inside the rough-in
opening, a hole can be cut through the adjacent
cabinet and the power cord routed through this hole to
a power outlet. Another way to increase the available
opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the
rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug.
Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this applica-
tion as they are too narrow, but a recessed outlet box
equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W is recommended for
this application.

General Installation
LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to
conrm the unit is
level. Level should
be placed along top
edge and side edge
as shown.
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the legs on the corners of
the unit as necessary.
3. Conrm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps as needed.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room oor is higher than the oor in the cutout
opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1⁄8” (3 mm) less than opening’s rear height.
Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front
legs. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the
opening. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not
to entangle the cord or water and drain lines, if
applicable.
3. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to
side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top
surface should be approximately 1⁄8” (3 mm) below
the countertop.
4. Install the anti-tip bracket.
5. Remove interior packing material and wipe out the
inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.

SIDE-BY-SIDE AND STACKING INSTALLATIONS
Side-by-Side Installation
Other Site Requirements
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded elec-
trical receptacles placed according to each unit's electrical
To ensure unobstructed door swing (opening both doors at
the same time), 1/4" (6.4 mm) of space needs to be maint-
ained between the units.
Hinge-by-Hinge Installation (Mullion)
When installing two units hinge-by-hinge, 13/16" (22 mm)
is required for integrated models. Additional space may be
needed for any knobs, pulls or handles installed.
Stainless steel models which include the standard stainless
handle will require 4-9/16" (116 mm) to allow both doors to
open to 90° at the same time.

4. Remove caps from top of door. Using a Philips Screwdriver, install magnet actuator on opposite side. Install caps into
opposite side.
5. Remove caps from screw holes on opposite side (2 on top and bottom). Using a Philips Screwdriver remove the 4
screws that you previously loosened.
6. Reinstall screws and caps on opposite side.
7. Once screws are partially installed, rotate the door 180°, align the hinge over screw #1 and slide into position. Tighten
screws on top and bottom.

With a helper, and being careful not to scratch the cabinet
or the door, slide the door to the side about 12inch and
remove the hinges and door from the unit.
!WARNING
Integrated panel models are designed for use with
built-in installations only. Use in freestanding instal-
lations could result in personal injury.
If you purchased an integrated panel model, your unit is
equipped with articulated hinges to allow fully integrated
built-in installations. Custom panel thicknesses of 58" (15
mm) and 34" (18 mm) are accommodated.
It is important to use the factory provided grille that came

Water Supply
Observe and follow all local building codes when installing
this appliance.
This ice machine must be connected to a potable cold
water supply line. delivering water pressure between a
minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
Use 1/4" copper tubing for your water supply which is
available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store.
Route the 1/4" copper tubing to suit your installation being
sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing
length to allow a coil to be formed behind the unit for a
"service loop" which will allow the appliance to be pulled
out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. Connect
the copper tubing to the "top side" of a cold water pipe to
prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment.
ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING
TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone
to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop
reducing the water supply to the unit.
Connect the copper tubing water supply to the water valve
IMPORTANT: Secure the water supply line to the back of
the cabinet with the screw and strain relief clamp provided
in the corner of the back panel.
Make certain all connections are watertight after

The Ice Making Process

has less dissolved solids than the water it is produced
from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold
evaporator plate which gradually freezes
