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 %" (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.
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 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. 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 is positioned over the PVC drain reducer.
