Water Supply; Connect The Drain - GE Monogram ZDIS15 Design And Installation Manual

Installation Instructions
WATER SUPPLY
• A cold water supply is required for icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between
20 and 120 p,s.i.
Water Supply Should
Enter From Back Wall
In Shaded Area.
• Route GE SmartConnect
TM
Kit or 1/4" O.D. copper
tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.
• The water line should be long enough to extend
to the back of the ice machine. Allow enough to
accommodate moving unit forward for service.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied
in the GE SmartConnect
TM
Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do
not use any other plastic water supply line because the
line is under pressure at all times. Other types of plastic
may crack or rupture with age and cause water
damage to your home. GE SmartConnecf MRefrigerator
Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:
2'(0,6 m) WX08X10002
6'(1.8 m) WX08X10006
15' (4,6 m) WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) WX08X10025
Shut off the main water supply
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
Install a shut-off valve between the ice machine
water valve and cold water pipe in a basement or
cabinet, The installation of an easily accessible
shut-off valve in the water line is required,
NOTE: Itis best to install the valve into a vertical
water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal
water pipe, make the connection atthe top or side,
rather than atthe bottom, to avoid drawing off any
sediment from the water pipe,
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris
from the line. Run about a quart of water through
the tubing into a bucket, Shut off water supply at
the shut-off valve.
WATER SUPPLY (cont.)
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in
many water supply kits, but are not recommended
for this application,
NOTE:Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.
• Install optional water filter in the water line near the
ice machine. A water filter is recommended in areas
where water supply contains sand or particles.
Installation instructions are packed with the filter.
CONNECT THE DRAIN
This ice machine is
equipped with a gravity
drain to prevent water
from flowing back into
the ice machine storage
bin and potentially
flowing onto the floor.
A floor drain is
acceptable, The ideal
installation has a
standpipe with a 2" to
1-1/2" PVCdrain reducer
installed directly below
Custom Panel
the outlet of the drain tube:
/Drain Hose
NOTE: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain
is not available, Order ZPK1 Drain Pump Kit or contact
your local plumber for a recommended pump available
in your area.
TEST DRAIN HOSE ALIGNMENT: Before sliding the ice
machine into the cabinet opening, check to be sure
the bottom of the drain tube is below the rear cover.
To test, place a pan belowthe drain hose. Pour a
gallon of water into the ice bin and checkto be sure
that water does not wet the rear cover.
