DRAIN CONNECTION

CAUTION
!
If your U-Line unit did not come with a factory
installed drain pump you must use a gravity
style drain connection. For assistance in
determining if your unit has a pump please
contact U-Line. The floor drain must be large
enough to accommodate drainage from all
attached drains. Follow these guidelines when
installing drain lines to prevent water from
flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/
or potentially flowing onto the floor, which may
result in personal injury or property damage
NOTICE
Drain can NOT be located directly below the
unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow the
unit to drain below itself.
There is a possibility that hose connections may
have loosened during shipment.
Verify all connections and fittings are free from
leaks.
CAUTION
!
This equipment is to be installed with adequate
backflow protection to comply with applicable
federal, state and local codes
