Requirements for plumbing
Plan the arrangement of the water supply pipes.
Connect a 1/4" diameter copper cable with the tap water pipe.
Install a shutoff valve between the tap water pipe and the product so that the user
can operate the valve. Do not install the shutoff valve at the back of the product.
“Do not use a self-piercing valve. If the tap water has a high level of minerals,
a pipeline filter will be required.
The pressure of the tap water should be maintained at a level between 20psi (1.4bar)
and 80psi (5.5bar). The tap water and drain pipeline should be planned and prepared
at the place of installation. If an electric outlet is available just at the back of the ice
maker, installation may be easier. The electric power, tap water pipeline and drain pipeline
should satisfy all the provisions under the local laws and regulations. For the position
of the tap water, refer to the installation specifications and drawings on pages 7 and 8.
Important Information :
The product is designed for use in a fixed condition but it
may be required to draw the product near for service. Therefore, do not install any material
at the front, upper or lower end of the product which may act as an obstacle
when drawing the product.
When preparing the bottom after installing the ice maker, place shims equivalent
to the thickness of the bottom under the product to keep the ice maker and bottom
horizontal. The lateral side should have at least 1/6" (4) of space for projection
of the screw head.
Installation of a slab :
Draw up the water to the drain position using the model with
a built-in drain pump. The drain pump model may raise the water up to about 8ft (2.4m)
in height. The more bent parts the pipeline has, the lower the raising height is.
Installation in a narrow or underground place :
A gravity drain model or drain
pump model may be used. If there is no space for drainage/sewage at the back
of the ice maker, the drain tube should be placed under the bottom.
Important Information :
Piping should be carried out in accordance with all the provisions
laid out under the local laws and regulations.
