Connecting the water line:
1. Turn offmain water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The
distance should be less than 10 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice
maker is about 10 feet.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a
plain piece of copper tubing, attach a ¼" O.D. compression union to the tubing and
remove the nut.
4. Connect nuts of water supply hose to tap and water inlet valve. Tighten firmly by
hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten
any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

Connecting the drain line:
A gravity drain system is used in this type ice maker. Excess water flows to the drain
through the drain line provided with the ice maker.
1. Find the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 10 feet as the
length of the long drain line provided with the ice maker is about 10 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker. Connect one end of the long drain line
to the drain outlet of the machine, the other end to the floor drain.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼" per foot. An air gap will
likely be required between the ice maker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A
standpipe with a trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle.
NOTE: If you cannot locate a floor or wall drain that allows the drain line to descend
¼" per foot, you may wish to purchase a drain pump from your local Franklin supplier.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain connections
and at the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak.
IMPORTANT." Poor drainage will cause a h(_h rate of ice melting in the ice storage bin.
