Whirlpool 759105-U - Manual (Page 3)

Water
requirements
The cold water line to the ice maker
requires 1 /4'-0,D, soft copper
tubing.
A threaded compression fitting to
connect the water lihe to the inlet
valve is in the parts bag
Install a shut-off valve in the water
line where it can be easy to access.
Drain
requirements
This appliance is equipped with a
gravity drain and a 4'-long,
5/8'- O.D. rubber, drain tube,
Recommended method
Install a 1-1/4" minimum diameter
standpipe directly below the drain
tube outlet. (See Panel A for
dimensions,)
It may be desirable to insulate the
drain line up to the drain inlet to
minimize condensation on the drain
tube.
Alternate method
If a drain connection directly below
the drain tube outlet Is not available,
a drain pump (Part No, EKDP3) will
need to be installed. The drain
pump, available from your local
authorized parts distributor, lifts water
to an available drain.
AWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power supply.
Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock or personal
injury.
1, Follow steps 1 through 10 of the
"Now start.,.“ section,
2, Install the drain pump on the floor
near the center of the rear
wall of the cabinet opening. The
side of drain pump with the
discharge tube should face the rear
of the opening,
3, Remove the rubber drain hose
and connect the bin drain directly to
the pump using 5/8" l,D. plastic hose,
(See Figure 4.)
4, Run pump drain hose to drain.
(See Figure 4.)
5, Run the power supply cord from
the pump through the hole in the
rear of the ice maker, (See Figure 4.)
The drain pump has a
