• Be connected to cold, potable water.

• Be connected to a drain.

• Be connected to the proper power supply.

• Be able circulate air through the vents at the front.

Note: DO NOT build in so that the door is recessed. Door is meant to be flush with surronding cabinetry, but not recessed.

2-Hinge side covers

2-Door stop pins

10-#8 sheet metal screws

2-Hole plugs

2-Hinge opening covers

1-Upper door bracket (LH)

1-Lower door bracket (LH)

ACCESSORY DOOR PANEL

The ice machine is supplied without a finished door panel. Accessory door panels are offered or a custom panel may be used.

Accessory Door Panel Attachment

Note: If door swing is to be changed, it must be done before panel is attached.

To attach a door panel:

The panel will be held on by 6 screws (supplied with door panel) and 2 machine screws (supplied with ice machine).

1. Remove the gasket and retain for later use.

2. If the door panel is stainless steel, remove any plastic covering the stainless steel panel.

3. Place the panel onto the outside of the door, and secure it to the door using two machine screws, located at the left center and right center ( behind door gasket).

4. Fasten the panel to the door using the 6 screws (supplied with door panel). In the hinge area, use the outermost screw holes.

5. Place the covers over the hinge areas, and secure each cover to the door using a screw (supplied with door panel).

6. Insert hole plug over screw installed in step 5 (supplied).

7. Return the gasket to its original position.

CUSTOM PANEL

A custom panel of wood or other material not exceeding 15 lb can be attached to the door. Attachment is from the ice side of the door. Holes are provided in the door for this purpose.

To create and attach a custom panel:

• Panel width: 14-7/8” (37.9 cm)

• Panel height: 30-5/16” (77.0 cm)

• Panel thickness: 5/8” (14.5 cm) to 3/4” (1.9 cm)

1. Measure overall height of cabinet opening where ice machine will be (floor to botom of countertop edge).

2. Determine desired kickplate space (from bottom of door to floor). This could be equal to the adjacent cabinet’s kickplate space or another space the user wants.

3. Subtract kickplate space from cabinet opening.

4. Subtract 1/8” or more for clearance space between top of door and bottom of countertop edge from cabinet opening. This is the maximum door length.

5. Cut panel to width

6. Cut panel to length (cabinet space - kickplate space - top clearance = length).

7. Determine top of panel.

8. Mark hole locations using drawing on the back of these instructions. Drawing assumes top of panel will be flush with top of door. Measure hole locations from the top of the panel.

9. Drill pilot holes for wood screws. Use drill stop to prevent drilling through the panel.

10. Mount panel to door using wood screws or supplied panel mounting screws.

Note: When installed, ice machine must be adjusted for height to position top of door to desired clearance.

KICKPLATE

The kickplate is black with a stainless steel covering. To use the stainless steel, no changes are required. To use the black, remove the stainless steel covering by removing the two stainless steel screws. Replace with supplied black screws.

DO NOT remove stainless steel covering if ice machine is used outdoors.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Built In Situations: If a finished floor is to be installed in the area after the ice machine has been built in, shims the expected thickness of the floor should be installed under the unit to keep the machine level with the planned floor level.

Installations on a slab: Use a pump model and pump the water to the point of drainage. Pump models will pump 1 story

(10 feet) high.

Installations over a crawl space or basement: Either gravity drain or pump model units may be used, if there is not enough room behind the machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will have to be below the floor.

Note: When installed in a corner, the door swing may be limited due to handle contact with the wall or cabinet face.
