Connecting the drain

Gravity drain system

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances. 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" (15.88 mm) inside diameter.

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

■You must maintain a 2" (5.08 cm) air gap between the drain tube outlet and the floor drain.

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.Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See “Leveling.”

3.Push the ice maker into position so that the ice maker drain tube outlet is positioned over the floor drain.

4.If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet to the floor with an approved caulking compound after all water and electrical connections have been made.
