WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, 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.
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 ¼" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff valve
or a Whirlpool supply line Part Number 8212547RB, and a
Whirlpool approved drain pump, Part Number 1901A, only 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 and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C).
The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered from the
■
elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.
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:
Check that the power supply cord is not damaged, or pinched
■
or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

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.
Check that the water supply line is not damaged, or pinched
■
or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.
Check that the drain line (on some models) is not damaged, or
■
pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.
Check that the ice maker door is not flush with the standard
■
cabinets to avoid problems with opening the ice maker door.
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."

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
B
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.
