Water Supply and drain connecons
The water supply and drain should be ready at the point of installaon. A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will
make under-counter installaon easier.
IMPORTANT:
All installaons must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Professional installaon is recommended. Make certain the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during
installaon. Check for leaks aer connecon.
Tools Required
½" (13mm) open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecng The Water Line
1. Turn o main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a ½" (13mm) to ¾" (19mm) vercal cold water pipe near the installaon locaon. The distance should be
less than 9 feet.(2.7M). The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet (2.7M) long.
3. A shut-o valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper
tubing, aach a ¼" (6.35mm) O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect the nuts of the water supply hose to the tap, and connect the other end with the water inlet. Tighten
rmly by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connecon leaks. Tighten every connecon
(including connecon at the water inlet) or nuts that leak.
NOTE: When you connect the water supply hose and the drain hose, pay aenon to the
indicaons of “Water inlet” and “Drain outlet” on the machine. Connecon to the water line may
vary according to installaon requirements.

DRAIN
You must connect the drain line before using the ice maker. Follow the steps outlined below.
Connecng The Drain Line
A gravity drain system is used in this type ice maker.
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker, the best choice to drain water to the drain line, is through
the drain water pipe provided with ice maker.
1. Find the oor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet (1.5M) since the length of the
long drain line provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet (1.5M)..
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker. Connect one end of the long drain line to the drain outlet of the
machine, the other end to the oor drain.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the oor of the ice storage bin.
