3. Do not connect the drain outlet extension line directly into a floor drain or a sewer line.
4. Do NOT connect the MINI drain directly to drains or to the plumbing of any other equipment.
5. The drain line must be free air vented, have gravity flow from the MINI, and terminate outside the
perimeter of the MINI.
6. Improper installation of drain outlet lines voids the MINI warranty.
7. The drain lines must be installed in compliance with the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) and any other applicable national, state, or local codes and
regulations.
8. This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
9. Do not install the MINI directly over a drain. Steam rising up out of the drain will adversely affect operation,
hamper cooling air circulation, and damage electrical and electronic components.
10. The total length of drain and number of bend fittings required to reach the open drain determines the
drain size used to extend the drain line to an open drain.
• If the drain outlet extension requires 6 feet or less of drain, and no more than two elbows are
required, 1 1/2-inch ID drain and fittings are acceptable.
• If the drain outlet extension requires 6 to 12 feet of drain, or requires three elbows, then 2-inch ID
drain and fittings are required.
• The drain line must have gravity flow from the MINI drain outlet to floor drain.
• Do not install a trap in the drain line.
11. Free air venting requires minimum 1” clearance between the end of the drain line and the top of the
floor drain.
