supply.
2. Provide a convenient manual shut-off valve in the
water line. Do not use a piercing-type or
valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Always purge the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve to prevent
possible water valve malfunction.
3. Position the tubing so it can enter the access hole
located at the right hand rear of the cabinet. The tubing
should extend beyond the cabinet front when the
cabinet is pushed back into position.
NOTE: After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing to
meet the connection at the water valve. The garden hose-
threaded compression fitting is found in the parts bag
which is shipped under the ice scoop. This joint
provides a convenient disconnect for servicing. Be sure
the tubing is clear of compressor to prevent rattle.

Leveling the ice maker
1. After placing unit in position, check to make certain the
unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Accurate
leveling is important for proper operation.
2. Unit should be shimmed so that it is solid as well as level.
The shims should be of hard, permanent-type material.
3. If required by sanitation code, seal the cabinet to the floor
with an approved caulking compound after all water and
electrical connections have been made.

3. It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up
to the drain inlet.
4. Replace the lower access panel and the screws.
5. Plug into 3 prong grounded outlet.
Alternate method:
If a drain connection directly below the drain tube outlet is not
available, install a UL listed drain pump in the rear compart-
ment of the ice maker.
Drain pump specifications:
• UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire,
grounded service cord.
• Overall outside dimensions (maximum): 15" (38 cm) wide x
6" (15 cm) deep x 9 1 ⁄ " (24 cm) high.

• Pump flow rate (minimum): 0.4 gpm @ 12 ft. lift.
• Operating temperature range: 55°F to 110°F.

Checking operation

• Start the unit by turning the Cycle Control to ON and
opening the water line valve.
NOTE: Left is OFF – Middle is ON – Right is CLEAN. In the
CLEAN position, only the water pump operates.
• Use a flashlight to look through the space between the
cutter grid and liner to check for even water flow over the
freezing plate. Unit must be level for proper operation.
