Installation
Drain Connections
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to
prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice machine
and storage bin:
•
Drain lines must have a of run 2.5 cm per meter (1.5 inch
drop per 5 feet) and must not create traps.
•
The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
•
Run separate bin and ice machine drain lines. Insulate
them to prevent condensation.
•
Vent the ice machine drain to the atmosphere.
•
Drain termination must have an air gap that meets local
code.
Auxiliary Base Drain Installation
Two types of auxiliary drain are located in the ice machine
base to remove moisture in high humidity areas: With or
without a drain socket.
ICE MACHINES WITH AN AUXILIARY DRAIN SOCKET
1. Remove membrane in socket with a dowel or
screwdriver and proceed to step 3.
ICE MACHINES WITHOUT AN AUXILIARY DRAIN SOCKET.
1. View the back of the ice machine base on the
compressor side, and locate the dimple.
2. Drill a 16 mm (5/8") hole using the dimple as a guide.
NOTE: Do not use a drill larger than 16 mm (5/8") or
irreparable damage will occur.
3. Route tubing to an open site drain:
•
Use 1/2 inch CPVC tubing.
•
Provide support for tubing.
•
Apply a bead of silicone around the exterior of the
ice machine tubing and insert into ice machine
base. The silicone will secure the tubing and
provide a watertight seal.
