2. Make certain the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during
installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Tools required:
½-in. open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecting the water line:
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear line
of water.
2. Find a ½-in. to ¾-in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The
distance should be less than 6 feet. The water supply hose provided with the
ice maker is about 6 feet long.
3. 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 the nut of the water supply hose to the tap, and connect the other end
with the water inlet. 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 every connection (including connection at the water inlet).
IMPORTANT: When you connect the water supply hose and the drain hose, pay
attention to the indications of “Water inlet” and “Drain outlet” on the machine.
Drain
You must connect the drain line before using the ice maker. Follow the steps
outlined below.
Connecting the drain line:
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker, the best choice is to drain
water to the drain line through the drain water hose provided with
ice maker.
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5
feet since the length of the long drain water hose provided with the ice maker is
about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker. Connect the drain outlet to the
water draining hose, and insert the other end of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the floor of the
ice storage bin.
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. A floor drain is also acceptable. If this is not possible,
