NOTE
This drain pump is designed to be installed in Twin Eagles
ice machines only.
INSTALLING THE DRAIN PLUMBING
• Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the ice
machine. Doing so may cause an electrical shock,
which may result in severe injury or death.
• This ice machine should not, under any circum-
stances, be installed to an un-grounded electrical
supply.
Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in ac-
cordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes and ordinances (see Figure 4). If the circuit
does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the respon-
sibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper
power supply. The third ground prong should not, under
any circumstances, be cut or removed.
Electrical Extension cords
should not be used. They can
be hazardous and cause deficient operation. The wall
receptacle should be located near the ice machine and
be a polarized type with adequate ground protection.
The ice machine must be installed to your local build-
ing codes and ordinances.
Figure 4
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to
nuisance tripping which will cause the ice machine to shut
down. GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits, with pow-
ered equipment, that must run unattended for long periods
of time, unless required to meet local building codes and
ordinances.
Drain Plumbing
Your ice machine requires drain plumbing. There are 2
variations of ice machines in regards to the installation of
the drain plumbing, without a drain pump (gravity drain),
and with an optional drain pump.
Gravity Drain, no drain pump.
Your ice machine requires a gravity drain (Figure 5) that
requires
5
⁄
8
inch inside diameter (I.D.) tubing from the back
of the ice machine to a plumbed connection to a sanitary
sewer. Remove the access panel to plumb in drain connec-
tion. The gravity drain location for built-in ice machines can
be within the shaded area shown in Figure 7.
Optional Drain Pump (model: TEDP-KIT-F)
An optional drain pump (Figure 6) is available if you do not
have access to a gravity drain. Installation instructions are
provided with the optional drain pump. Contact Twin Eagles
customer service for ordering.
Observe and follow all local codes when installing ice
machine.
Risk of electrical shock or personal injury could occur due
to moving components, if machine compartment access
cover is removed before unplugging the ice machine.
Failure to use an adequate
drainage system, will result in
surrounding water damage and/or poor ice production.
