To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed.
•
When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended
spacing dimensions shown. Allow at least 5
″
(127mm) clearance at rear,
sides and top for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice
maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
•
If you choose a built in installation, there is no minimum clearance
requirement for top and sides.
•
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF (10ºC) and
below 100ºF (38ºC). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from
the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
•
The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high
heat.

Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 1/4
″
(6.35
mm) soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve.

Normal Sounds
Your new ice cube machine may make sounds that are unfamiliar to you. Most
of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can
amplify the sounds. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be
new to you and what may be causing them.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water
line. Items stored on top of the ice cube machine can also make noises.
•
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched
sound.
•
Running water may make a splashing sound.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
•
During the Harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling
into the ice storage bin.
