Infrequent drainage will
cause a high rate of
melting in the ice
storage bin.

Connecting the drain line:
There are two choices for drain operation: one that drains by gravity
and one that utilizes an internal drain pump. The unit can pump out
water up to 5ft vertically or 5ft horizontally.
NOTE: There is a drain line on the ice maker. Please drain water
through the drain line provided with ice maker.
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should
be less than 5 feet since the length of the long drain hose
provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain hose on the back of ice maker, then insert the
other side of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the
floor of the ice storage bin.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 1/4" per foot.
An air gap will likely be required between the ice maker drain
hose and the drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap
below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A
floor drain is also acceptable.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for
proper drainage.
