1. Find the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 10
feet (3.5M) as the length of the long drain water pipe provided with the ice
maker is about 10 feet (3.5M).
2. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼″ per foot (6.35mm per
30.5cm). 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 floor drain is also acceptable.
3. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain
connections and at the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or
fittings that leak.
NOTE: Poor drainage will cause a high rate of ice melting in the ice storage bin.
