PLUMBING - 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. Insert drain tube through the routing hole in the back
panel.
3. Remove the upper back panel if needed for access to
drain connection.
NOTE: If the drain opening has been located in the
floor under the base pan according to the pre install
specifications, follow steps 4 through 7 to drain the unit
through the base. If not, proceed to step 7.

4. Remove the clamp and barbed elbow and take off the
plastic cover in the base pan below the drain hose.
5. Connect a straight 5/8" barbed connector to the drain
hose, securing with the supplied hose clamp.
6. 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.
7. Route the drain tube. Either a) insert the drain tube
through the base pan into the floor drain or b)) route
the drain tube through the hole in the lower back
panel and connect to barbed elbow and secure with
clamp.
8. Reinstall any panels removed to connect the drain.
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.
Connect water supply here, fitting
is supplied in bag tied to tube.
