TO INSTALL: Plumbing
Free Standing Cabinet, Gravity Drain
Model:
All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a 1/4"
per foot fall. An air gap will likely be required
between the ice machine drain tube and the
drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap
below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste
receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable.
FOLLOW ALL LOCAL PLUMBING CODES
Poor draining will cause a high rate of ice
melting in the bin.
1. Remove the kick plate and the access cover
above it.
2. Route the water supply, which should be a 1/4"
O.D. copper tube through the back of the cabinet
to the front.
3. Install a flare nut and flare the end of the tube.
4. Flush the water line and fasten the flare nut to
the male flare on the inlet water valve.
5. Route a
5
8
" ID (7/8" OD) drain tube through the
back panel of the machine and connect to the bin
drain fitting at the bottom of the bin. Secure with
hose clamps.
Be certain that the drain tube is pushed up well
past the barbs on the drain fitting. If needed to
ease installation, soak the drain hose in hot water
just before connecting to the fitting.
6. Route the drain tube from the ice machine to the
drain/waste receptacle. Note: if using a long
horizontal run (more than 5’) the drain should be
vented at back of cabinet.
7. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
8. Replace the kick plate and the access cover
above it.
9. Level the unit using the leg levelers.
