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 5
8
" (1.6 cm)
inside diameter.
• Drain lines must have a 1" (2.5 cm) drop per 48”
(122 cm) of run (
1
4
" 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 1
2
"
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 ice maker into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
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.

(with or without the C\v” (1.9 cm) panel on the door).
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.
5. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
