All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.
Option 2—With Hinge-Side Spacers 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 3 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) outside diameter (O.D.
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.

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) I.D. ■ Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.

See Step 3 in the “Install Water Filter” section. 2.
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 pan for each cycle.
5. Unplug the wiring harness from the left side of the cutter grid. Condenser A Dirty or Clogged Condenser ■ ■ ■ Obstructs proper airflow. Reduces ice making capacity. Causes higher-than-recommended operating temperatures which may lead to component failure. A WARNING A. Cutter grid cover Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before cleaning. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. 1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power. 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. Ice Maker Operation WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 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. PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS Ice Maker Will Not Operate Check that it is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Ice Production WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS Ice Maker Runs but Produces No Ice Check that the control is turned on. Check that the water supply is properly connected and turned on. If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will have either thin ice or no ice. Tighten the drain cap. Clean the drain tube.
Plumbing Problems 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. PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS Water Not Entering Drain Properly Is the drain hose aligned over the drain? Move the ice maker to align the drain. See the “Connect Water Supply” section. NOTE: Service technicians cannot repair plumbing problems outside of the ice maker. Call a licensed, qualified plumber.
