This product is a gravity drain pipe model that requires a drain pipe
to run from the exhaust hole at the back of the product to the
appropriate drain pipe. An optional drain pump kit can be installed
to raise water to a drainage point such as a neighboring sink. Refer
to the information and specifications shown on pages 10 and 11.
Before connecting the drain tube and the water supply pipe with
the ice maker, the house piping should be installed. The drain
tube should slope 1/4" for every foot.
An air gap is required between the drainage tube of the ice maker
and the drain pipe. A stand pipe fitted with a trap at the lower part
may be used as a drain pipe.
Important Information! Installation of an incorrect drainage pipe
will cause the ice in the ice container to melt rapidly.

Arrange the ice maker at the front of the opening of installation.
Install the inlet pipe (1/4" diameter copper pipe) on the wall
and connect the water supply valve.
Connect the drain pipe from the wall to the ice maker. If the
horizontal distance is 5' (1.5m) or longer, the drain pipe should
be arranged by drilling the wall to the rear of the product.
If the electrical outlet is at the back of the product, insert the
plug in the electrical outlet.
Connect the inlet pipe with the copper pipe using the flare nut.
Connect the inlet pipe with the water-supply valve of the
product using the flare nut.
Cut the required length of drain tube.
8) Connect the drain tube (with a diameter of 5/8") with the drain pipe at the back of the product and fix them
together using a hose clamp. The drain tube should be placed at the upside passing the drain fitting. If
required for easy installation, immerse the drain hose in warm water just before connection with the fitting.
9) Turn on the tap and check for any leakage. Adjust the leveling legs.
Drain Pump Kit (Optional)
You may order the ice maker with or without a drain pump. In the case of the model with no drain pump,
water is drained by gravity. However, it is possible to install a drain pump kit on the gravity drain pipe
model if you wish to convert the model to a drain pump model.
You may obtain the necessary drain accessory for conversion from your dealer, for an additional $399. Your
dealer will provide all information to you regarding the drain pump. A detailed description of installation is
included in the kit.
