Ice made by the Model 315 will have a lower mineral con- tent than the water it was made from.

INSTALLATION Plumbing Model 315 – Gravity Drain Model The drain and inlet water tubes must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a 1/4" per foot fall. An air gap will likely be required between the ice maker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. - Page 7 Drain Pump Kit This ice maker can be ordered with (Model 315P) or with- out (Model 315) a pump. Models without a drain pump drain their water by gravity. However, gravity drain models may be converted to pump models through the installation of a drain pump kit and drain pump.

Page 14: Operation
What Expect Maker The Model 315 will release a batch of 8 ice cubes about every 30 minutes. At the same time the cubes fall into the storage bin, water will be entering the ice maker and draining out. - Page 15 OPERATION Ice Production There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. 1 freeze cycle + 1 harvest cycle = 1 batch of 8 cubes. The freeze cycle happens when water is sprayed against the freezing surface. The harvest cycle is when the ice is released and water enters the ice maker.
