3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your ice maker.

3.1 Unpacking and Placement

• Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging.
• Place the unit on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting its weight when full of ice and water.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper ventilation (at least 5 inches from walls).
• As noted in safety information, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in.

3.2 Water Connection

The ice maker requires a continuous water supply.

1. Connect the provided water inlet hose to a potable water supply line.
2. Install the water filter in-line with the water supply, as shown in the diagram, to ensure clarified water for ice production.
3. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the designated water inlet port on the back of the ice maker.
4. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

3.3 Drainage Connection

The unit includes a built-in electric drainage pump.

1. Connect the drainage hose to the drainage outlet on the ice maker.
2. Route the drainage hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink) ensuring it has a continuous downward slope for proper water flow. The maximum lift for the drainage pump is approximately 6.5 feet.
3. Secure the drainage hose to prevent accidental disconnections.
