DRAIN SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in
accordance with all state and local codes and
ordinances. Follow these guidelines when
installing drain lines. This will help avoid water
from flowing back into the ice maker storage
bin. Water flowing back into the ice maker can
potentially flow onto the floor and cause water
damage.
Drain Requirements
Inside
Diame-
ter
minimum 5/8" (15.88 mm)
Drain
Lines
Drain lines must have a
1" drop per 48" of run
(2.54 cm drop per 122 cm of run) or
1/4" drop per 12" of run
(6.35 mm drop per 30.48 cm of run)
Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube
to a closed pipe system to avoid drain water
from backing up into the ice maker.
GRAVITY DRAIN SYSTEM
The ideal installation has a standpipe with a
1½" (3.81 cm) to 2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer
installed directly below the outlet of the drain
tube as shown. You must maintain a 1" (2.54
cm) air gap between the drain hose and the
standpipe.
DRAIN PUMP SYSTEM
Drain pump maximum capability: For every
1 ft (0.31 m) of rise, subtract 10 ft (3.1 m) of
maximum allowable run.
IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when
a floor drain is not available. A Drain Pump kit,
Part Number 1901A, is available for purchase at
jennair.com/accessories/details/1901A.
NOTE: It may be desirable to insulate the
drain line thoroughly up to the drain inlet. An
Insulation Sleeve kit, Part Number W10365792,
is available for purchase at
jennair.com/accessories/details/W10365792.
