WATER & DRAIN INSTALLATION
The recommended water supply tubing is 1/4” OD copper. Stainless steel flex or reinforced PVC tube may also be
used. Install an easily accessible shut-off valve between the supply and the unit. This shut-off valve should not be
installed behind the unit.
The water connection is at the back of the cabinet. Connect using a
compression fitting, one is supplied tied to the water inlet tube at the back
of the cabinet.
When built-in:
Coil enough tubing behind the machine so it can be pushed
into the cavity without kinking the tubing.
DRAINS
There are two types of ice machine models, one that drains by gravity and
one that has an internal drain pump.
Drain Pump Model drain installation
1. Locate the coil of 3/8” ID plastic drain tubing secured to the back of the unit.
2. Route the plastic drain tube from the back of the unit to the drain connection point.
The drain connection can be as high as 10 feet (3.05 m) above the ice machine. the drain pump includes a check valve
to prevent re-pumping water into the drain hose.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Often an air gap is required by local codes between the ice maker drain tube and the drain
receptacle.
