secured to the back of the unit.

the unit to the drain connection point.
The drain connection point can be as high as 10 feet
above the ice machine. The drain pump includes a
check valve to prevent re-pumping water in the drain

by local codes between the ice maker drain tube
and the drain receptacle.
