Drain
IMPORTANT: This ice maker is not a freezer, it must connect to a drain line. Your
machine comes equipped with a gravity drain. Depending on your plumbing setup, a
condensation pump may be required. Poor drainage will cause a high rate of melting in
the ice storage bin and may cause flooding or your machine to shut off.
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 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 hose provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker, connect the drain outlet to the water
draining hose, and insert the other side of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: The drain hose should never be allowed to hang or loop higher than the bottom
of the ice storage bin.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 1/4” 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 leaks at all drain connections
and at the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak.
