Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor causing water damage:

Gravity Drain

•Drain lines must have a 5/8 inch inside diameter.

•Drain lines must have a 1 inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch per foot) and must not create traps.

•The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all drains.

•Insulate the bin drain line to prevent condensation.

Ice Makers With Factory Installed Drain Pump

!CAUTION

Before installing an icemaker with a factory installed pump, it is extremely important to check and test all hose connections at the drain pump. There is a possibility that hose connections may have loosened during shipment.

!WARNING

To prevent accidental electrocution, make certain that the floor surfaces surrounding the unit are dry whenever power is removed from, or applied to the unit.
