Important:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Important: When you connect the water supply hose, pay attention to the “Water inlet”
labels on the ice maker.
Important: Once you are ready to install the ice maker in a cabinet or directly on the floor,
you must adjust the feet to level the ice maker. If the floor is level, just rotate the two front
feet to touch the floor.
Leveling the Ice Maker
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. It
can be raised or lowered by rotating the four rubber feet on the bottom of
the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the
ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to
level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to check if the ice
maker is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Adjust the height of the feet as follows:
Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the ice maker.
Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the ice maker.
Water Supply Connections
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should
be a minimum of 20 psig with a static pressure not more than 120 psig. (A wall outlet directly
behind the ice maker will make installation easier.) The temperature of the water feeding into
the ice maker should be between 41° F and 90° F for proper operation.
Connecting the Water Line:
Tools required: ½” Open-end Wrench, Phillips Screwdriver
1. Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
2. Find a

" vertical cold water inlet of soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve near the
installation location. The distance should be less than six (6) feet. The water supply
hose provided with the ice maker is about six (6) feet long. Drains are not required for
this unit.
3. Connect the nuts of the water supply hose to the tap and water inlet valve. Tighten the
nuts firmly by hand, then one-half turn with the wrench.
4. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks.
Tighten every connection (including connections at the water inlet).
