5. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connecon leaks. Tighten every connecon
(including connecon at the water inlet).
NOTE: When you connect the water supply hose and the drain hose, pay aenon to the
indicaons of “Water inlet” and “Drain outlet” on the machine.
DRAIN
You must connect the drain line before using the ice maker. Follow the steps outlined below.
Connecng The Drain Line
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker, the best choice to drain water to the drain line, is through
the drain water hose provided with ice maker.
1. Locate the oor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet since the length of the long
drain water hose provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker, take o the rear drainage plug. Connect the nut of the drain
outlet to the water draining hose, insert the other end of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the oor of the ice storage bin.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼" per foot. An air gap will likely be required between the
ice maker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap below it would be acceptable
for the drain/waste receptacle. A oor drain is also acceptable. If this is not possible, Maxx Ice recommends
the use of a condensate pump. Available at local hardware stores.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain connecons and at the nut of the
drain water hole. Tighten any connecons or nuts that leak.
NOTE: This ice maker is not a freezer. Hot temperatures will cause a high rate of melng in the ice
storage bin. Ice will drain over me. A drain is required.
INSTALLATION TYPES
This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing) installaon. However, it can also be Enclosed (under a
cabinet) or Built-in (sealed to the oor). In every case, there must be adequate air space around the unit for venlaon.
Mobile Installaon
A mobile installaon will allow you to install the ice maker free-standing in any place you desire provided you have access
to a water supply, proper electrical, a drain and you’ve leveled the machine.
Enclosed Installaon
An enclosed installaon will allow you to install the ice maker under a cabinet provided the required clearance space
around the ice maker is respected, and you have access to a water supply, proper electrical, a drain and you’ve leveled
the machine.
Built-in installaon
If this method of installaon is chosen, it will sll be necessary to allow adequate venlaon space around the unit.
The following addional items must be observed.
1. Place ice maker in front of installaon locaon. Remove the feet and place the unit at on the oor or on a
plaorm depending on your installaon requirements.
2. The water supply line must be plumbed before connecng to the ice maker.
3. The drain line must be connected. If you do not have a oor drain, you will require a condensaon pump.
4. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connecon leaks.
Tighten every connecon (including connecon at the water inlet).
5. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker.
6. Push the ice maker into posion.
7. Seal all around the cabinet to the oor with an approved caulking compound.
NOTE: Be sure the drain hose is connected and fed into the drain line before the ice maker is
moved into its nal posion.
