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.
Electrical Requirements
Power Supply
115 V, 60Hz, AC only
Circuit Breaker
Receptacle
3 prong grounding-type
Outlet
IMPORTANT:
Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.
■
Do not use an extension cord.
It is recommended that this product not be
■
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) protected outlet, as nuisance tripping
of the power supply may occur.
The ice maker must be grounded. The ice maker
■
is equipped with a power supply cord having a
grounded 3 prong plug. The cord must be plugged
into a mating, grounded, 3 prong 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.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Before connecting the ice maker, ensure that the
water supply lines are insulated against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can
increase water pressure and damage the ice maker
or home. Damage from frozen supply lines is not
covered by the warranty.
Use new hoses supplied with the product. Do not
reuse old hoses.
Water Supply Requirements
Water Pressure
Excess Water Line
for Connection
Water Inlet Supply
Drain Pump
IMPORTANT:
Connect to potable water supply only.
■
A reverse osmosis water filtration system is not
■
15-20 A, fused
recommended for ice makers that have a drain
pump installed. Reverse osmosis water filtration
systems are for gravity drain systems only.
Non-GFCI
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in
■
accordance with the International Plumbing Code
and any local codes and ordinance.
To achieve a flush installation, the water shutoff
■
valve should not be installed in the wall behind
the refrigerator, but in another easily accessible
location.
The drain pump discharge line must terminate at an
■
open-site drain.
Maximum rise 10 ft (3.1 m)
Maximum run 100 ft (30.5 m)
NOTE: If the drain hose becomes twisted and water
cannot drain, your ice maker will not work.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
A reverse osmosis system may be used if the water
pressure from the filtration system meets the required
water pressure requirements.
If a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-
house capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of
maintaining the steady water supply required by the
ice maker, is recommended. Faucet capacity reverse
osmosis systems are not able to maintain the steady
water supply required by the ice maker.
