Resumen del manual
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ...." (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. Find a ..." (12.70 mm) to 1..." (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the ice maker. NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve. 3. Using a grounded drill, drill a ..." (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected. 4. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ..." (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten the pipe clamp or you may crush cold water pipe if it is soft copper tubing. Do not use a piercing-type or ...." (4.76 mm) saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily. 5. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use ..." (6.35 mm) OD 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. A B C EFG D H A. Cold water pipe E. Compression nut B. Pipe clamp F. Compression sleeve C. Copper tubing G.

Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe. NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible water valve malfunction. 7. 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. REAR VIEW A B C A. Drain hose (drain pump models only) B.

Drain Connection 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 ..." (15.88 mm) inside diameter. ¦ Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per 122 cm) of run or ..." 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..." (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. ¦ It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to the drain inlet.

Center of drain should be 20" (50.80 cm) from front of door, with or without the ..." (1.91 cm) panel on the door. The drain should also be centered from left to right (8....." from either side of the ice maker). Drain Pump System (on some models) Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances. NOTE: If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot drain, your ice maker will not work. Connecting the Drain After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these steps to properly place the ice maker: WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapte...
