heres’s ten steps for a quick & easy install
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT!
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children.
Remove door gaskets, latches, lids, lock and/or doors from unused or discarded appliances,
or take other actions to guarantee them harmless.
Always dispose of old appliances in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Inspect cabinet opening for water, drain and electrical connections.
The 1/4” O.D. water supply line must include isolation valve and should include an inline water
filter (consult manual). Do NOT use a self-piecing valve for the supply connection. Water
supply must have a minimum pressure of 20 psi and a maximum of 80 psi. Cold water
should be between 50 F and 90 F - NOTE: warmer water will slow ice production.
is strongly recommended.
Drain tubing will be 5/8” ID gravity fed or 3/8” ID for a pump model. All horizontal drain
runs must drop 1/4” per foot. The drain should include an air gap device to prevent
siphoning and a sanitary trap. A restricted or inadequite drain can result in poor ice
production and possible flooding.
Electrical requirement is 15a dedicated, grounded circuit - outdoor installs must use a GFI.
Route water supply tubing to the water inlet located at the rear of the unit.
Connect the drain tubing to either the pump discharge or the barbed gravity fed elbow.
Be sure nothing is kinked, and excess slack is removed.
Be sure the electrical connection is secure into the wall outlet.
Slide the machine into location or cavity being careful not to allow for any kinks to occur
in the water inlet and drain tubing.
Adjust the Ice Maker to level using the leg levelers.
Add approximately 2-3 quarts of water to the bin and make certain it is draining properly
and check for leaks. If water does not drain, stop and verify tubing is not restricted.
Wash down the interior of the machine with a mild detergent solution (consult manual)
Turn the machine on and allow it to make ice for approximately 30-35 minutes to verify
ice is being produced and water is draining freely. Be sure to check the cube size, shape
and clarity. Discard the first batch of ice.
adjust if needed.
Always do one last check to be sure all water and drain connections are leak free.

INDOOR / OUTDOOR

Please read through completely before using your XO Unit
Periodic maintenance is essential for safe operation - the unit must be easily pulled out for full access.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug and water shutoff are readily accessible.
Empty your XO unit before attempting to move the appliance. Moving while loaded may damage or
distort the frame.
The compressor will get HOT during operation / touching it may cause injury.
During installation follow all safety tips provided in this manual / appropriate safety equipment such as
safety glasses and work gloves should be worn.
Two people should move or lift your XO unit to prevent injury or damage.
Remove all interior and exterior packing materials prior to installation and dispose of properly.
Always use only approved cleaning and descaling products to maintain your XO Ice Maker.
For maximum efficiency, keep the door tightly shut unless removing ice.
Before installing, allow your XO unit to sit upright for 2 hours at the install site. This will allow the cooling
system to stabilize after transportation. Failure to follow this step may cause problems.
Location
Your XO unit should be located away from direct sunlight and heat sources (stove, heaters, etc.) which may
increase electrical consumption. High or low ambient temperature may cause units to work improperly.
Optimal operation occurs in the ambient temperatures of 50 - 68 F and water temperature below 50 .
The floor must be strong enough to support your XO unit fully loaded.
Your XO unit must not be installed in areas of where water or e
xcessive moisture are present.
Your XO unit’s final installation must observe the correct minimum air clearances around and behind the
unit to ensure adequate ventilation. In addition, all ventilation openings must be kept clear and free of
obstructions, failure to do so will result in damage to the unit.
WARNING
NEVER use external heat sources to accelerate defrosting
NEVER permit unauthorized service or modifications to your XO unit
NEVER tamper with the sealed refrigerant system - this unit uses R134a Refrigerant.
It should never be used in the vicinity of any flammable or explosive ignition sources.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL.
6
your safety matters
Never store bottles, cans or perishable food products such as meat or cheese in your XO Ice Maker.
Your XO unit must not be installed near
where flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials are present.

Failure To Follow All Electrical Safety Measures May Result in Serious Injury,
Fire Or Death
All electrical work should only be performed by an
experienced, licensed electrician.
All XO units MUST be grounded for safe operation and
come equipped with a 3 Prong molded cord/plug for that
purpose.
NEVER remove or disable the 3rd prong with an adapter.
NEVER use an extension cord to operate your XO unit.
Your XO unit is built to operate on 115V 60Hz and
should be plugged directly into a dedicated 15 amp
3 prong outlet. If you are uncertain as to the
voltage, amperage capacity or if the 3rd prong is
properly grounded - consult a licensed electrician.
To maximize the depth of the installation recess -
your outlet should be mounted flush with the wall.
Your XO unit should not share the circuit with any other
electrical devices as this may cause overloading,
overheating, blown fuses or tripping circuit breakers.
In a worst case this can pose a fire hazard.
NEVER handle your XO unit in wet conditions as this
can pose a severe danger of electric shock.
Exercise care when moving your XO unit to avoid
damage to the electrical cord. If the electrical cord of
your XO unit becomes worn or damaged it must be
replaced immediately by a qualified technician.
NEVER unplug your unit by pulling on the cord.
Unplug by gripping the plug firmly and pull out
straight from the outlet.
FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE:
XO Ice Makers shown in this manual are rated for
Indoor and Outdoor use.
These units are designed to operate in ambient
temperatures between 50 and 90 F.
Avoid installing the unit where it may be exposed to
heat or direct sun, dusty or damp conditions or in a
location where it may be rained on or splashed by
water.
Never install the unit where flammable or corrosive
chemicals (such as pool chemicals) are present.
Installation in seaside environments where high
concentrations of salt are present will require more
frequent cleaning to avoid corrosion.
Use in any uncontrolled area or otherwise exposed
to the elements is hazardous and voids the warranty.
In regions where high humidity exists (greater than 70%)
condensation may appear on the door and/or door
gaskets. This is normal and will disappear as humidity
drops.

before you install
check a few things
115V~60Hz
e
Is the installation location COOL, DRY, LEVEL and away from direct sun.
The water supply valve must provide positive shut off capability and be readily accessible.
Does the unit have a dedicated 115V three prong grounded outlet? (use GFI outdoors)
The Cold Water supply is 1/4” O.D. tube, it should be 50 to 90 F and be between 20 and 80 psi.
(NOTE: as the inlet water temperature increases - production efficiency goes down.)
YOU WILL NEED -
A few simple hand tools:
Pump pliers, adjustable wrench, #2 Phillips head screwdriver, level, razor knife
AND a few hardware items:
Teflon tape or Pipe dope
5/8” I.D. drain hose and hose clamps (if installing a gravity drain model)
1/4” O.D. water supply hose
Air Gap Device and/or Sanitary Trap (depending on your installation).
Water filter with isolation valve
Depending on your installation you will probably require additional site specific plumbing fittings
Water source valve
Water source tub

All water contains some impurities and minerals.
Your XO Ice Maker is designed to produce crystal clear, gourmet ice. It does this by
reducing the mineral content in the water as the ice is forming.
PURER WATER YIELDS PURER ICE.
Cubes are formed by cold water spraying against a chilled mold. Pure water freezes faster
than water containing impurities. The spraying action causes the cubes to be built up in layers
as the pure water freezes more quickly and the water containing impurities is washed away by
the spray and falls into the water bin to be diluted and drained away.
When the ice maker senses the cubes are fully formed and ready, the ice cube molds are
heated slightly causing them to drop out of the mold and into the ice holding bin.
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure that your ice maker is performing at its best.
See the maintenance section of this book and the Maintenance Schedule.
FILTERS AND WATER TREAMENT
The correct filter is always recommended. It has the ability to remove odors as well as
particulate from water prior to reaching the ice maker.
(consult www.xoappliance.com for more information on which filter is right for you)
Water softeners exchange one mineral for another (salt) which can cause inferior ice quality
such as soft, mushy ice that clumps together. If you are using a water softener, you should
install a bypass to supply untreated water to the ice maker.
Water produced by Reverse Osmosis and deionized water are not recommended. It is more
corrosive than tap water and can cause harm to the equipment over time.
water quality

12
Plan the arrangement of the water supply pipes. You will need both a water supply line and
a drain (see section on installing a gravity drain unit or pump drain unit)
If the tap water has a high level of minerals, an inline filter will be required.
Attach the water supply line to the rear of the unit
with flexible tube to the fitting indicated here.
The tubing must be long enough to permit the
unit to be pulled out for service.
Water supply should be between 20psi and 80psi.
Attach the drain to the connection indicated here
If you are installing an XOUIM1565S unit with a
gravity drain, the line must be pitched down
1/4” per ft to ensure correct drainage.
If the drain is positioned at a higher elevation than
the connection on the rear of the unit, a pump
will be required. Use model XOUIM1565GP.
This unit comes with a pre-installed drain pump
capable on discharging to a drain up to 8’ above
the unit.
IMPORTANT: The keep drains as short and straight
as possible for optimal performance.
The electric power, water supply pipeline and drain pipeline must be in compliance with all
provisions under the local laws and building regulations.
IMPORTANT: The product is designed for use in a fixed condition but it may be required to
pull the product out for service. Therefore, do not install any material at the front, upper or
lower end of the product which may be an obstacle when pulling the product out.
Once the unit is in place, use the leveling legs to ensure the unit is level.
Each side should have at least 1/16" of space for projection of the screw head near the bottom.

INSTALLING THE XOUIM1565S without a drain pump.
Position the ice maker in front of the opening. Level the unit using the leveling legs.
Wash and flush the water supply tube and connect the unit to the cold water isolation valve.
Prepare the drain. The drain must be pitched downward at a drop of 1/4” per foot to drain properly.
Horizontal runs of 5’ or more must be anchored to a wall for support to prevent sagging.
A sanitary trap and air gap must be installed in the line prior to entering the home’s drain system.
The trap prevents sewer gas from flowing back to the ice maker.
The air gap device prevents siphoning drain water back into the ice maker.
