Water Supply Connection
IMPORTANT:
■Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
■Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
■Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
■Close the shutoff valve when the water temperature is below freezing to avoid damage to the tubing.
■Do not operate ice maker when the water supply is off.
Connecting the water
Connect the ice maker to the water supply using the ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) water inlet on the rear of the ice maker. Be sure to use a potable water supply. The water supply line must have a shutoff valve and a bin drain outlet installed.

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.
