Leveling and Securing

It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you
may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also
use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for
undercounter installations.
Tools Needed
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another
person to assist you.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Move the ice maker in front of its final location. Be sure
to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid
damaging it.
NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as
close as possible to the final location.
WARNING
Crush Hazard
Articulated hinges are self closing and many pinch
points exist prior to cabinet installation.
Do not remove hinge covers until product is ready to
be installed.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in crush,
cut, or pinch injuries.

Use two or more people to move and install ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
6. Slide ice maker into the cabinet while managing the utility
connection positions behind the ice maker. Be sure to cover
the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid damaging it.
IMPORTANT: For the custom panel model flush install, the ice
maker utility connections must be routed out through the slot
in the ice maker rear panel. Any time ice maker is removed for
service, do the same process when placing the unit back in
the cabinets.
7. Be sure that the ice maker is at desired depth. Secure the top
and bottom hinges to the side of the cabinet using wood
screws.

holes in the front of ice maker as shown in the illustration.
Attach the cabinet brackets to the side of the cabinet with
wood screws.
