Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Removing Packaging Materials Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using. ■ To remove any remaining tape or glue from the exterior of the ice maker, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. ■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. Do not use chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces of the ice maker. These products can damage the surface of your ice maker. 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 and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump 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 (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). ■ The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip. 3
