Connecting the Water Supply and Drain Lines
The water supply should be ready at the point of installaon. The water supply pressure should be a minimum
of 20 psi with a stac pressure of no more than 80 psi. A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will make
installaon easier. When you connect the water supply line and drain line, ensure they are installed into the
correct locaons.
Important: All installaons must be done in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Do not pinch, kink, or damage the water supply or drain lines during installaon. Check for leaks
aer connecng lines.

Connecng the Water Supply Line
1. Turn o the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
2. A shut-o valve must be installed between the ice maker and the main water supply.
3. Connect the water supply line to the COLD water piping using copper tubing with a 1/4” compression
ng to the unit or 1/4” reinforced PVC tubing.
4. Install the included water line adapter to the back of the unit. Wrap the threads of the adapter with Teon
tape to ensure a proper seal.
5. Connect the water supply line to the adapter. Tighten the connecon to the unit rmly by hand, then
ghten one-half turn with an open-ended wrench.
6. Turn on the main water supply and open the shut-o valve. Check for leaks at all connecon points. Repair
any leaks.
Connecng the Drain Line
There are two opons for drain operaon: One that drains by gravity and one that ulizes an internal drain
pump. Follow the instrucons below for your model’s conguraon.
Gravity Draining (AIMG151GPRI, AIMG151GSSI)
1. Locate the oor drain near the ice maker. Your drain line must be long enough to reach the oor drain and
must slope downward 1/4” for every foot of line. An air gap is required between the drain line and the
oor drain. A standard P-trap in the oor drain piping is typically recommended.
2. Install the included drain adapter to the back of the unit. Wrap the threads with Teon tape to ensure a
proper seal.
3. Connect the drain hose to the installed drain adapter, then insert the other end of the drain line into the
oor drain.
4. Pour 2-4 quarts of water into the ice bin to check for proper drainage.
Pump Draining (AIMG151PPRI, AIMG151PSSI, AIMG151PSSO)
1. The drain pump can pump water up to 4 feet vercally and 20 feet horizontally. Your drain locaon must be
within these distances. Consult a licensed plumber for proper installaon.
2. Install the included drain adapter to the back of the unit. Wrap the threads with Teon tape to ensure a
proper seal.
Note: It is strongly advised to always use a water lter with your ice maker. A water lter can
remove taste and odors as well as parcles. Where water is very hard, soened water may result
in white, mushy cubes that sck together. Deionized water is not recommended.
