INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECT THE WATER (Cont.)
NOTE: Do not allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the floor
of the ice storage bin.
• All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼" per foot. An
air gap will likely be required between the ice machine drain hose and
the drain/waste receptacle. A standpipe with a trap below it would be
acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle.
• If a floor or other gravity drain below the level of the ice machine drain
outlet is not available, the use of an aftermarket sealed ice machine
drain pump kit will be required.
NOTES:
• Connect drain pump to your plumbing drain in accordance with all
state and local codes and ordinances.
• Drain pump must be a sealed design to prevent water overflow
during power outages.
• Minimum rated pumping rate of drain pump should be 0.5 gal./
minute (1.9 L/minute).
• Follow all installation instructions, provided with the drain pump kit.
• Drain pump should be located on a surface that is at the same level
as the surface underneath the ice machine. The top of the drain
pump reservoir must be no higher than the floor of the ice machine
storage bin.
• Do not allow the hose from the ice machine to the drain pump to
hang or loop higher than the floor of the ice storage bin.
• The end of the drain pump vent hose should be within 8" (20 cm) of
the top of the ice machine.
• Plumbing drain should be no more than 10 ft (3 m) above the outlet
of the drain pump.
• Do not connect the outlet hose of the drain pump to a closed pipe
system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice machine.
3. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks in the
drainage system. Tighten any connections that leak.
