INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION

It is important to note that this appliance maintains
temperatures slightly above freezing to ensure that
the ice will break up into usable blocks when it falls
into the bucket. This also means that the ice will
melt over time if it is not used immediately. For this
reason, one of the following three drain options
must be selected.
A - manual drain
B - continuous drain
C - drain pump
A braided drain hose is provided in the accessory
bag. Ensure that the drain hose does not get kinked
or bent during the installation process.
Option A - Manual Drain
The manual drain method can be used if there
is no appropriate drain in the room that the
appliance can be connected to. When using this
option, melted water will fi ll the ice bucket inside
the appliance and must be manually removed. No
drain hose is attached to the appliance.
The water level inside the ice maker will need to be
periodically checked and then manually removed
when it fi lls the ice bucket. Water can be removed
by either removing the bucket from the appliance
and emptying it into a sink or drain or by removing
the drain cap and seal from the front of the bucket
and allowing the water to drain into a second
receptacle.
Note: The ice maker is refrigerated but it is not a
freezer. Any ice that is created will eventually melt
and fi ll the ice bucket with water. If there is no drain
hose installed, the appliance must be regularly
and manually drained to ensure that new ice will
continue to be created.
When using the manual drain option, ensure that
the drain pump switch on the back of the appliance
is set to "OFF".
Option B - Continuous Drain
In the continuous drain method, water will be
removed from the appliance by means of gravity
alone. This option is useful if there is a nearby drain
in the fl oor.
1. Use the drain hose provided in the accessory
bag.
2. Attach the drain hose to the continuous drain
outlet near the bottom of the appliance.
3. Direct the other end of the drain hose to a fl oor
drain.
4. Remove the rear drain seal and the rear drain
cap from the back of the bucket to allow melted
water from the bucket to fl ow into the internal
water tank, which will then drain through the
hose.
The drain hose must angle downward from the
back of the appliance or water will back up into the
appliance and may cause a leak.
When using the continuous drain option, ensure that
the drain pump switch on the back of the appliance
is set to "OFF".
