Installation Notes
A drain pump is available for this ice machine. The drain
pump kit number is UPK3 and is available at
www.GEApplianceparts.com or by calling 877-959-8688.

Built-In Installation: If a finished floor is to be installed in
the area after the ice machine has been built in, shims the
expected thickness of the floor should be installed under the
unit to keep the machine level with the planned floor level.
NOTE: The water connection is at the back and adds a few
inches to the cabinet depth.
Installation on a slab: You will need to install a drain
pump to the appliance and pump the water to the point
of drainage. See Accessories. Pumps will pump 1 story (10
feet) hight.
Installation over a crawl space or basement: Either
a gravity drain or a pump may be used. For pump, see
Accessories. If there is not enough room behind the
machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will have to
be below the floor.
NOTE: When installed in a corner, the door swing may be
limited due to handle contact with the wall or cabinet face.
A water supply is required. Water supplies vary in the
degree of mineral content. High mineral content water will
require more frequent maintenance. Water filtration may
improve the taste of the ice as well as cut down on some of
the mineral build up.
