15. Attach 
¹⁄₂" ID 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.
16. Connect ice maker to water supply and install ice maker as 
specified by the product installation instructions.
17. Check all connections for leaks.
18. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
19. Turn on 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) 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 1
¹⁄₂" (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.

Drain Pump System (on some models)
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with the 
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and 
ordinances.
NOTES: 
If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot drain, 
your ice maker will not work.
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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
