Model E15IM60E can be installed using a gravity drain or can use a factory installed
or equivalent drain pump.
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 causing
water damage:
Gravity Drain
• Drain lines must have a 5/8 inch inside diameter.
• Drain lines must have a 1 inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch per foot) and
must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all
drains.
• Insulate the bin drain line to prevent condensation.
