Cleaning Before
Use After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the “Ice Maker Care” section.

Location Requirements

• To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side must be completely unobstructed. The ice maker may be closed-in on the top and three sides, but the installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 1/4″ (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff valve or a Whirlpool supply line Part Number 8212547RB, and a Whirlpool approved drain pump, Part Number 1901A, only to carry the water to an existing drain.
• Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F (13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained between 70°F and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C).
• The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.
• When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended opening dimensions shown. Place electrical and plumbing fixtures in the recommended location as shown.

NOTES:

• Check that the power supply cord is not damaged or pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.
• Check that the water supply line is not damaged or pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.
• Check that the drain line (on some models) is not damaged or pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.
• Check that the ice maker door is not flush with the standard cabinets to avoid problems with opening the ice maker door.

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 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.

Water Supply Requirements

Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your ice maker or home. Damage from frozen supply lines is not covered by the warranty. A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT:

• A reverse osmosis water filtration system is not recommended for ice makers that have a drain pump installed.
• For gravity drain systems only.
• The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa).
NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation.
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.

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

• When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the ice maker.
• Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice maker or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:

• Connect to potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

• Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number 8212547RP, and check for leaks.

• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
  Tools Needed
  Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation:

• Flat-blade screwdriver

• 7/16″ and 1/2″ open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4″ nut driver
  NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16″ (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the Water Line

1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

2. Using a 1/2″ copper supply line with a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, connect the ice maker as shown.
   NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the ice maker a minimum 1/2″ diameter home supply line is recommended.
   

3. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use 1/4″ (6.35 mm) O.D. soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.
   ■ Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
   ■ Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

4. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe. IMPORTANT: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible water valve malfunction.
5. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown. Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
