Installation Instructions
Installation Notes
Built-In Installation: 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.
NOTE: The water connection is at the back and adds a few
inches to the cabinet depth.
Installation on a slab: You will need to install a drain pump to
the appliance and pump the water to the point of drainage.
See Accessories. Pump models will pump 1 story (10 feet)
hight.
Installation over a crawl space or basement: Either a gravity
drain or a pump may be used. For pump, see Accessories.
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.
A water supply is required. Water supplies vary in the degree
of mineral content. High mineral content water will require
more frequent maintenance. Water filtration may improve
the taste of the ice as well as cut down on some of the
mineral build up.
Cabinet Stability: In some free standing installations it may
be prudent to add an anti-tip bracket that secures the back
of the cabinet to a wall. That kit number is WR01X25709.
To order, go to www.GEApplianceParts.com or call
877-959-8688. In Canada visit www.GEAppliances.ca or call

Drain Conversion: A gravity drain model can be converted
to a drain pump model by installing a drain pump kit. The
drain pump kit consists of a drain pump, wiring harness
and associated tubing. The part number is UPK3. To order,
go to www.GEApplianceParts.com or call 877-959-8688. In
