Plumbing Requirements
Water Supply Line
1
/4" OD copper, braided stainless steel
or PEX tubing
Water Pressure 20–80 psi (1.4–5.5 bar)
Water Temperature 50°F (10°C) 80°F (27°C)
Water Outlet (gravity drain)

WATER SUPPLY LINE
For all ice machine models, locate the water supply line as
shown in the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is recommended that the water
supply be placed in an adjacent cabinet within the shaded
area shown in the illustration. If placed within the opening,
additional cabinet depth may be required.
The water supply line should be connected to the house
supply with an easily accessible shut-off valve between
the water supply and the ice machine. A reverse osmosis
system can be used, provided there is constant water
pressure of 20 psi
(1.4 bar) to 80 psi (5.5 bar) supplied to the
unit at all times. A copper line is not recommended for this
application.
A cold water supply line must be supplied to the ice
machine. Use
1
/4" (6) OD copper, braided stainless steel
or PEX tubing and compression fitting (not included).
The incoming water temperature must remain between
50°F
(10°C) and 80°F (27°C).
Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply.
Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other
equipment are working, such as check valves on sink
faucets, dishwashers, etc.
If water pressure exceeds the maximum recommended,
install a water pressure regulator.
Insulate the water supply line to prevent condensation.
Improper water supply and drain connections can
result in personal injury and property damage.
