Connecting the drain

Gravity drain system

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines when installing drain lines. This will prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor causing water damage.

■Drain lines must have a minimum of ⁵⁄₈ in. (15.88 mm) inside diameter.

■Drain lines must have a 1 in. drop per 48 in. (2.54 cm drop per 122 cm) of run or ¹⁄₄ in. drop per 12 in. (6.35 mm per

30.48 cm) and must not have low points where water can settle.

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

■The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1¹⁄₂ in. (3.81 cm) to 2 in. (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a

1 in. (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain pump hose and the standpipe.

■It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to the drain inlet.

After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these steps to properly place the ice maker:

1.Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

2.Re-check the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See the “Leveling” section.

3.Push the ice maker into position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over the PVC drain reducer.
