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, Part Number
W10365792, is available for purchase.
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.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
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.
2. Style 1—For gravity drain system, push the ice maker into
position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over
the PVC drain reducer. See "Gravity Drain System."
Style 2—For drain pump system connect the drain pump
outlet hose to the drain. See "Drain Pump System."
3. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See

"Leveling."

If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet to
the floor with an approved caulking compound after all water and
electrical connections have been made.
Leveling
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.
1. Move the ice maker to its final location.
NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as
close as possible to the final location.
2. Place the level on top of the product to see whether the ice
maker is level from front to back and side to side.
3. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the
leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker.
4. Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as
follows:
Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
■
ice maker.
Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice
■
maker.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add
stability when needed.
5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the
leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker.
6. Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the
legs.
7. Use the level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even
from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not
level, repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the
"Connect Water Supply" section.
