Setup and Installation
The Maxx Ice MIMC15C ice maker can be installed as a freestanding countertop unit or built into cabinetry. Its front-breathing design allows for built-in applications without requiring additional clearance at the back for ventilation.
Unpacking
- Carefully remove all packaging materials.
- Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. If damage is found, contact your retailer immediately.
- Before plugging in the unit, allow it to rest in an upright position for at least 48 hours. This allows the refrigerant to settle, which is crucial for proper operation after transport.
Location and Leveling
Choose a location that is well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure the surface is strong enough to support the unit's weight when full of ice.
