Connecting
the water
line:
1. Turn
off main 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 9 feet.
The water
supply
hose provided
with the ice
maker
is about 9 feet.
.
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.

NOTE:
Connection
to the water
line may vary according
to installation
requirements.
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 9 feet as the
length
of the long drain line provided
with the ice maker
is about
9 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 high rate of ice melting
#1 the ice storage
bin.
