Drain
IMPORTANT: This ice maker is not a freezer, it must connect to a drain line. Your ma-
chine comes equipped with a gravity drain. Depending on your plumbing setup, a
condensation pump may be required. Poor drainage will cause a high rate of melt-
ing in the ice storage bin and may cause flooding or your machine to shut off.
Connecting the drain line:
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker or the ice maker will be used as an
outdoor unit, the best choice is to drain water to the drain line through the drain hose
provided with ice maker.
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet
since the length of the long drain hose provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker, then take off the rear drainage plug.
Connect the nut of the drain outlet to the water draining hose, and insert the other
side of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: The drain hose should never be allowed to hang or loop higher than the bot-
tom of the ice storage bin.
2. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 1/4" per foot. An air gap will
likely be required between the ice maker drain hose and the drain/waste recepta-
cle. A stand pipe with a trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste re-
ceptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable.
3. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain con-
nections and at the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that
leak.
