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.
