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
Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water
pressure and damage your ice maker or home. Damage from
frozen supply lines is not covered by the warranty.
Important: A cold water supply with water pressure of between
30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice
maker.
Note: If the water pressure is less than what is required, ice cubes
could be hollow or irregular shaped. If you have questions about
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT:
A reverse osmosis water filtration system is not recommended
■
for ice makers that have a drain pump installed.
For gravity drain systems only.
■
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.
Vacation or Extended Time Without Use
When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended
■
period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the ice
maker.
Check that the water supply lines are insulated against
■
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can
increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice
maker or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
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
■
⁄
" and ½" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
7
■
16
¼" nut driver
■
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄
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 ½" 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 ½" diameter home supply line is recommended.
A. Bulb
B. Nut
3. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use ¼"
(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.
A. Compression sleeve
B. Compression nut
