(from the rear of the machine). It is recommended that you use Teflon tape on the
threads to help prevent leaks. Any type of tubing may be used but it is suggested
that the drain tube have some rigidity to prevent kinking and backflow into the
blender chamber. The Blender Dispenser with Ice must be installed with
adequate back-flow protection to comply with Federal, state or local codes having
jurisdiction.
