WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Be sure the fl oor surfaces surrounding the appliance are dry before plugging in and
removing the power cord to the outlet to prevent electrical shock.
Follow these steps to test the operation of the drain pump before fi nal installation:
1. Check the power cord and make sure it is not plugged into the outlet.
2. Place the drain hose into a suitable container that can hold at least one gallon.
3. Pour one gallon of water into the ice storage bin.
4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded, polarized electrical outlet.
5. The drain pump should start and pump the water into the container.
6. Unplug the power cord.
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
1. Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear a line of water.
2. Find a 1/2" to 3/4" vertical cold-water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be
less than 9 feet.
3. Install a shut-off valve to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper
tubing, attach a 1/4" O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Thread the nuts of the supplied water supply hose to the tap and water inlet valve. Access to the
water inlet valve is through the opening in the rear panel. Tighten fi rmly by hand, then one-half
turn with a wrench.
