Drain Pump System (on some models)
IMPORTANT:
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with
the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and 
ordinances.
The drain pump discharge line must terminate at an 
open
- sited drain.
Maximum rise 10 ft (3.1
 m)
Maximum run 100 ft (30.5 m) 
NOTES: 
If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot drain,
your ice maker will not work.
It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to
the drain inlet. An Insulation Sleeve kit, Part Number
W10365792, is available for purchase.
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.
Connecting the Drain
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these 
steps to properly place the ice maker:
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Style 1—For gravity drain system, push the ice maker into
position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over
the PVC drain reducer. See “Gravity Drain System.”
Style 2—For drain pump system connect the drain pump
outlet hose to the drain. See “Drain Pump System.”
3. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See
“Leveling.”
4. If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet
to the floor with an approved caulking compound after all
water and electrical connections have been made.
