Drain Connection
Gravity Drain System
Connect the ice maker drain 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 help keep 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 ⁵⁄₈" (15.88 mm) inside
diameter.
■ Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per
122 cm) of run or
¹⁄₄" drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of
run 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
¹⁄₂" (3.81 cm) to
2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the
outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a
1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the
standpipe.
■ It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to
the drain inlet.

Drain Pump System (on some models)
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
NOTE: If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot
drain, your ice maker will not work.
Connecting the Drain
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these
steps to properly place the ice maker:
1. Plug ice maker into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Style 1 - For gravity drain system, push the ice maker into
position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over
the PVC drain reducer. See “Gravity Drain System” earlier in
this section. Style 2 - For drain pump system connect the
drain pump outlet hose to the drain. See “Drain Pump
System” earlier in this section.
3. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See
“Leveling.”
4. If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet
to the floor with an approved caulking compound after all
water and electrical connections have been made.
