Drain Pump System (on some models)
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
NOTE: If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot drain, your ice maker will not work.
Connecting the Drain
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these steps to properly place the ice maker:
Drain Connection
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 help keep 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) of run 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" (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.
■It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to the drain inlet.
