Important: When you connect the water supply hose, pay attention to the indications of “Water
inlet” on the machine.
Note: There is a drain line on the ice maker. Please drain water through the drain line provided
with the ice maker.
Connecting the Water Line
1. Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.
2. Find a

” to

” vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be
less than 9 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet long.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece
of copper tubing, attach a

" O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect nuts of the water supply hose to the tap and water inlet valve. Tighten the nuts firmly
by hand, then one-half turn with the wrench.
5. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every
connection (including connections at the water inlet).
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter can remove taste and odors
as well as particles. Mineral buildup on the evaporator can affect ice harvest and cube
uniformity. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick
together. Deionized water is not recommended.
Connecting the Drain Line:
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 4.5 feet since the
length of the long drain hose provided with the ice maker is about 4.5 feet.
2. Find the drain hose on the back of the ice maker, then insert the other side of the hose into the
drain line.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of

” per foot. An air gap will likely be
required between the ice maker drain hose and the drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a
trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also
acceptable.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for proper drainage.
Note: A condensate pump can allow for installation further from your drain. Consult your plumber
for advice.
