Page 14

IMPORTANT:

1.All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

2.Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.

3.Check for leaks after connection.

Tools required: ½ in. open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver

Connecting the water line:

1.Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

2.Find a ½ in. to ¾ in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less than 9 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet long.

3.A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper tubing, attach a ¼” O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.

4.Connect nuts of the water supply hose to tap and water inlet valve. Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.

5.Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every connection (including connections at the water inlet).

IMPORTANT: When you connect the water supply hose, pay attention to the indications of “Water inlet” on the machine.

Drain

NOTE: There is a drain line on the ice maker. Please drain water to your drain through the drain line provided with ice maker.

1.Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 4.5 feet since the length of the long drain hose provided with the ice maker is about 4.5 feet.

2.Find the drain hose on the back of ice maker, then insert the other side of the hose into the drain line.

All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 1/4” per foot. An air gap will likely be required between the ice maker drain hose and the drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable.

4.Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for proper drainage.

Note: a condensate pump can allow for installation further from your drain. Consult your plumber for advice.
