DRAiN pLUMBiNG
Your ice maker uses a gravity drain (Fig. 05) that requires 5/8” I.D. tubing from the back of the ice maker to a plumbed
connection to a sanitary sewer. Remove the access panel to plumb in drain connection. Gravity drain location for built-in
units can be within the area shown in Fig. 07. An optional drain pump (RF15I-P)(Fig. 06) can be purchased for your ice maker
if a gravity drain is not accessible.
Observe and follow all local codes when installing ice
maker.
WARNiNG
Failure to use an adequate drainage system will
result in surrounding water damage and/or poor
ice production.
WATER SUppLy
The ice maker must be connected to a potable, active
cold water supply line delivering water pressure at a
minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
Water connection is made through a right angle
■
garden hose style fitting supplied with the ice maker.
See “garden hose style fitting” for a detailed instruc-
tion sheet. DO NOT USE ANY THREAD SEALERS.
A water filter can be used with this unit. A quality
■
filter can help remove particles as well as remove
taste and odors from water and prolong life.
DO NOT USE A “REVERSE OSMOSIS” FILTERING DEVICE.
■
Softened water is not recommended. This will
■
produce soft, cloudy ice cubes that will stick together.
De-ionized water is not recommended. This water will
■
not form solid ice cubes.
A water specialist can recommend proper water treat-
■
ment.
After installation of water line, turn on water and
■
check for any leaks. Additional tightening may be
needed.
Allow for extra water line for built-in installations for
■
easy removal of unit and to help prevent the water
line from kinking.
