Gravity Drain; Drain Pump - Jenn-Air JIM1550ARB Service Manual

Installation Instructions

Gravity Drain

The drain tube from the ice maker is 5/8 inch ID. This
can be routed to a gravity drain in the area shown below
or to a remote gravity drain that is located below the ice
maker. Be sure to check your local codes. Slope any
long horizontal runs according to code to remote gravity
drain for proper drainage. An air gap may be necessary
for horizontal runs over 4 feet. Proper routing,
sloping, and size of drain line is important
especially if using flexible tubing, or poor ice
production will result.
If installing a standoff gravity drain, use Illustration
below for location. Standpipe can be up to 3 inches high
above the floor. Route tubing from ice maker into the
drain pipe. See Appendix A, owner’s guide, for
additional drain information.
It may be necessary in some installations to wrap
drain tubing with wrap-type insulation. Condensation
can form on the drain tubing and cause water damage.

Drain Pump

Drain Pump can be used to drain water when gravity
drain is not available.
As with the gravity drain, it may be necessary to wrap
the drain tubing from the ice maker to the inlet of the
drain pump with wrap-type insulation. Condensation
can form on the drain tubing and cause water
damage.
