WARNING
• Only qualied service technicians should install this kit to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
• Icemaker is heavy. Use care when lifting or positioning. Work in pairs when needed to prevent injury or damage.
• No installation or service should be undertaken until the technician has thoroughly read these instructions. Failure to follow
these instructions will adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage.
• Before Servicing: Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply. Place the disconnect in
the "OFF" position. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power supply from being turned back on inadvertently. Control switch in
"OFF" position does not de-energize all loads.
• CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the icemaker is
serviced. Make sure that none have fallen into the dispenser unit/ice storage bin.
• Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and dispenser unit/ice storage bin are clean after service.
• Protect the oor when moving the icemaker to prevent damage to the oor.
• Wear proper PPE (personal protection equipment) when executing these procedures.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch with damp hands.
• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting from improper, incorrect, and unreasonable
use or installation.
NOTICE!
• Do not use the frame to lift the icemaker. Lift the icemaker at the base or use a duct jack to lift the upper icemaker on top of
the lower icemaker.
• Up to three icemakers total (including the bottom icemaker) can be stacked.
Double Stacked: IM-500SAB × 2, Stacking Kit HS-5530 × 1
Triple Stacked: IM-500SAB × 3, Stacking Kit HS-5530 × 2
• The bin control switch on the lowest icemaker controls all icemakers. The bin control switch and switch mount must be
removed from the upper icemakers. Misconnection or no connection may cause damage to the icemakers, resulting in
icemaker failure or damage.
• Allow 6" (15 cm) clearance at rear, left side, and top (upper icemaker), and 12" (30 cm) clearance at right side for proper
air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required.
New Lower Icemaker Installation Instructions
1) Follow the Instruction Manual's installation instructions through "II.D.
Setup." When complete, continue to step 2.
Note: If installing an upper icemaker on an existing lower icemaker,
skip to step 2.

2) Remove the front panel and move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply. Place the icemaker
disconnect (if applicable) in the "OFF" position. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power supply from being turned back on
inadvertently. WARNING! Control switch in "OFF" position does not de-energize all loads.
3) Empty the ice storage bin of all ice.
4) Remove the top, left, and right panels. See "II.C. How to Remove Panels" in the instruction manual. Also remove the lower
rear panel. See Fig. 1.
5) Remove the top frame front gasket from the lower icemaker. See Fig. 1. Next, place the top panel hook provided in this kit, on
top of the frame, then place the gasket provided in this kit, on top of the top panel hook.

8) Remove the top, left, and right panels. See "II.C. How to Remove Panels" in the instruction manual. Also, if not already
removed, remove the lower rear panel. See Fig. 4.
9) Remove the protective plastic lm from the panels. If the icemaker is exposed to the sun or to heat, remove the lm after the
icemaker cools.
10) Remove the package containing the accessories.
11) Remove the shipping tape holding the bin control switch.
12) Remove connector guide A, then disconnect the bin control connectors located in the wire channel. See Fig. 4.
Fig. 6
13) Remove and discard the upper bin control assembly (bin control switch and bin control mounting bracket) and thumbscrews.
Remove the cube guide and thumbscrews. Discard the upper cube guide. Retain one of the thumbscrews for use later in
these instructions. See Fig. 5a.
14) Secure the bin control bracket to previous assembly holes. Place the bin control assembly to the bracket at desired height,
use thumbscrews to secure in place. See Fig. 5b.
15) Remove the 2 plastic separator protector screws, then pull the plastic separator protector out slightly. Slide the water guide

16) Place the new ice chute provided in this kit in position as shown in Fig. 8. Secure the rear of the ice chute to the upper
icemaker rear rail frame (bin control mounting bracket holes) with the new thumbscrews provided in this kit. Secure front of
the ice chute to the upper icemaker front rail frame (cube guide mounting hole) with the cube guide thumbscrew removed in
step 13. Conrm that the front of the ice chute clips over the front rail frame of the upper icemaker and that the drain pan is
not sitting on top of the ice chute. NOTICE! Conrm the drain pan is not sitting on top of the new ice chute.
17) Stack the upper icemaker on top of the lower icemaker. Use of a duct jack may be required. See Fig. 9. WARNING!
Icemaker is heavy. Use care when lifting or positioning. Work in pairs when needed and use a duct jack if available
to prevent injury or damage.
18) Once in place, make the front, rear, and side panels ush to the lower icemaker. See Fig. 9.
19) At the rear of the icemakers, locate the upper and lower icemakers rear mounting holes. See Fig. 9. To prevent plastic
shavings from entering the ice storage bin area during drilling, place a large pan or cloth under the icemakers rear mounting
holes. Using the icemakers upper or lower mounting hole as a guide, drill a 3/8" (10 mm) hole down or up through the top
plastic spacer between the upper and lower icemaker. See Fig. 10.
20) Secure the upper icemaker to the lower icemaker using one of the hex bolts w/washer and nuts provided in this kit.
See Fig. 10.

and into the upper wire channel through the upper wire channel access hole with the upper icemaker actuator motor wires.
See Fig. 14.
25) Connect wire harness connector B to the control board connector A. See Fig. 15. Replace connector guide A on all
icemakers.
26) If stacking 3 icemakers, repeat steps 5 - 25.
27) Follow the instruction manual instructions to complete the lower
(if applicable) and upper icemaker electrical, water, and drain
installation requirements. See sections "II.E." through "II.H."
