Connecting the drain
Gravity drain system
Connect the drain pump hose (provided with the product)
to your drain in accordance with all state and local codes
and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided with a gravity
drain system, follow these guidelines when installing drain
lines: (This will prevent water from flowing back into the ice
maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor
causing water damage.)
Drain lines must have a minimum of
diameter.
Drain lines must have a 1" (2.5 cm) drop per 48" (122
cm) of run ( " per foot [6mm per 30.5cm]) and must
not have low points where water can settle.
The floor drains must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1 " to 2"
PVC drain reducer installed directly below the outlet of
the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a 1" air
gap between the drain pump hose and the standpipe.
It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly
up to the drain inlet.
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow
these steps to properly place the ice maker:
1. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
2. Re-check the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See
the "Leveling the Ice Maker" section.
3. Push the ice maker into position so that the ice maker
drain tube is positioned over the PVC drain reducer.
