Connecting the drain line:
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker, the best choice is to drain water to
the drain line through the drain water hose provided with ice maker.
1.
Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet since
the length of the long drain water hose provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
2.
Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker. Connect the water draining hose to the
drain outlet, and insert the other end of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the floor of the ice
storage bin.
3.
All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼” per foot. An air gap will likely
be required between the ice maker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A
standpipe with a trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A
floor drain is also acceptable. If this is not possible, the use of the condensate pump is
recommended.
4.
Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks in the drainage system.
Tighten any connections that leak.
IMPORTANT: This ice maker is not a freezer.
Infrequent drainage will
cause a high rate of melting in the ice storage bin.
