is not damaged or pinched or kinked between the cabinet and

the ice maker.

15. Attach ¹⁄₂" I.D. x 10 ft (3 m) drain tube to pump discharge

tube. See “Parts Locations” illustration.

NOTE: Do not connect outlet end of drain tube to a closed

pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice

maker.

20. Wait for rinsing cycle, approximately 5 minutes, to be sure the

ice maker is operating properly.

Drain Connection

Gravity Drain System

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all

state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is

provided with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines

when installing drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing

back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto

the floor, causing water damage.

■Drain lines must have a minimum of ⁵⁄₈" (15.88 mm) I.D.

(inside diameter).

■Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per

122 cm) of run or ¹⁄₄" drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of

run and must not have low points where water can settle.

■The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate

drainage from all drains.

■The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1¹⁄₂" (3.81 cm) to

2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the

outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a

1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the

standpipe.

■Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed

pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice

maker.

IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain is not

available. A Drain Pump kit, Part Number 1901A, is available for

purchase.
