Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC-only 15 A or 20 A electrical supply, properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice
maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the power
supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality may be
affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of
the ice appears poor, dispose of it.
Recommended Grounding Method
The ice maker must be grounded. The ice maker is equipped with
a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. The cord
must be plugged into a mating, 3-prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle
is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to
have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
Drain Connection Requirements
Gravity Drain System
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all
state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided
with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines when installing
drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing back into the ice
maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor, causing
water damage.
� Drain lines must have a minimum of 5/8" (15.88 mm) I.D.
(inside diameter).
� Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per
122 cm) of run or 1/4" drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of
run and must not have low points where water can settle.
� The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
� The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1 1/2" (3.81 cm) to
2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the
outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a 1"
(2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe.
� Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed pipe
system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice maker.
IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain is not
available. A Drain Pump kit is available for purchase. See Quick
Start Guide for ordering information.

D. Center of drain should be 23ʺ
(58.4 cm) from front of door,
with or without the 3/4ʺ
(1.91 cm) panel on the door.
The drain should also be
centered from left to right
(7 5/ 16ʺ [18.56 cm] from
either side of the ice maker).
Drain Pump System (on some models)
IMPORTANT:
� Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with
the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
� The drain pump discharge line must terminate at an open-sited
drain.
� Maximum rise 10 ft. (3.1 m)
� Maximum run 100 ft. (30.5 m)
NOTES:
� If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot drain, your
ice maker will not work.
� It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to
the drain inlet. An Insulation Sleeve Kit is available for
purchase. See Quick Start Guide for ordering information.
� Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed pipe
system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice maker.
� Drain pump maximum capability: For every 1 ft. (0.31 m) of
rise, subtract 10 ft. (3.1 m) of maximum allowable run.
