GRAVITY DRAIN
Drain Installation
NOTICE
Restrictions in the drain system to
the machine will cause water to back up into the ice
storage bin and melt the ice. Gravity drain tubing must
be vented, have no kinks, and slope to the building drain.
Air gaps are typically required by local codes.
1. Place the ice machine in front of the installation
opening. Adjust leveling legs to the approximate height.
There are Leg Caps in the hardware packet that can
snap onto the leveling legs if they are going to show
when the unit is level.
2. Remove the front service panel and the upper black
panel.
NOTE: If the drain opening has been located in the
floor under the base pan according to the pre-install
specifications, follow steps 3-6 to drain the unit through the
base. If not, proceed to 6.
3. Remove the clamp and barbed elbow and take off the
plastic cover in the base pan below the drain hose.
4. Connect a straight 5/8" barbed connector to the drain
hose, securing with the supplied hose clamp.
5. Cut an 8"piece of 5/8" OD x 7/8" OD tygon (clear plastic)
tubing. Slide one end of the tube onto the clamp, Leave
the other end of the tube lying on the floor of the base
pan until the unit is positioned over the floor drain.
Installation Instructions
6. Route the drain tube either a) Insert the drain tube
through the base pan into the floor drain or b) Route the

Water Supply
The recommended water supply tubing is 1/4" OD copper.
Stainless steel flex or reinforced PCV tube may also be
used. Install an easily accessible shut-off valve between
the supply and the unit. This shut-off valve should not be
installed behind the unit.
The water connection is at the back of the cabinet. Connect
using a compression fitting, one is supplied tied to the water
inlet tube at the back of the cabinet.
When built in: Coil enough tubing behind the machine so it
can be pushed into the cavity without kinking the tubing.

INSTALLATION

The ice machine is supplied with a power cord. Do not
remove the grounding pin from the cord's plug. Do
not use extension cords. Follow all codes. Connect the
machine so its own 115v, 15amp circuit.
1. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the
unit, plug it into the unit.
2. Position the unit in the installation opening.
3. Turn on the water supply. Make sure that the icemaker
is plugged in and the power is on.
4. Slide the unit into the installation opening, paying
special attention to water supply and drain
connections. Do not kink!
5. Pour a couple of quarts of water into the ice storage
bin; on drain pump equipped machines the drain
pump should start and water should pump out. Check
for leaks.
6. Replace the service access panel.
7. Level the unit as needed.
