Connecting
the water
line:
1. Turn off main water
supply.
Turn on the nearest
faucet
long enough
to clear the line of water.
2. Find
a 1/2" to 3/4" vertical
cold water
pipe near
the installation
location.
The distance
should
be less than 9 feet. The water
supply
hose provided
with the ice maker
is about 9 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 1/4" O.D. compression
union
to the tubing
and remove
the nut.
4. Connect
nuts of water
supply
hose
to the tap, and connect
the other
end with
the water
inlet.
Tighten
firmly
by hand, then one-half
turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main water
supply
and tap. Check
for water
supply
connections
leaks.
Tighten
every
connection
(including
connections
at the water
inlet).
IMPORTANT."
When
you
connect
the water
supply
hose
and
the drain
hose, pay
attention
to the indications
of "Water
inlet"
and "Drain
outlet"
on the machine.
Drain
You must
connect
the drain
line
before
using
the ice maken
(The
dual
drainage
feature
of
earlier
models
has
been
modified
to simplify
the
draimtge
procedure.)
Follow
the
steps
outlined
below.
Connecting
the drain
line:
NOTE:
If there
is a drain
line near
the ice maker
or the ice maker
will be used
as an outdoor
unit,
the best
choice
is to drain
water
to the drain
line through
the drain
hose
provided
with
ice maker.
1.
Locate
the floor
drain
near the ice maker.
The distance
should
be less than
5 feet
since
the
length
of the long drain hose provided
with the ice maker
is about
5 feet.
Find the drain
outlet
on the back
of ice maker,
then take off the rear drainage
plug.
Connect
the nut of the drain
outlet
to the water
draining
hose,
and insert
the other
side of the hose into
the drain line.
NOTE:
The drain
hose shouM
never be allowed
to hang or loop higher
than the bottom
of the
ice storage
bin.
2.
All horizontal
runs
of drain
lines must
have
a fall of 1/4" per foot. An air gap will likely
be
required
between
the ice maker
drain hose and the drain/waste
receptacle.
A stand pipe with a
trap
below
it would
be
acceptable
for
the drain/waste
receptacle.
A floor
drain
is also
acceptable.
3.
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:
This ice maker is not a freezer.
a high rate of melting in the ice storage bin.
