Connecting 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 floor 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 off 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 floor 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 floor drain is also acceptable. If this is not possible,
a condensate pump. Available at local hardware stores. (An internal pump comes standard on
and MIM50P-O models.)
4. 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 nuts that leak.
NOTE: This ice maker is not a freezer. Hot temperatures will cause a high rate of melting in the ice
storage bin. Ice will drain over time. A drain is required.

INSTALLATION TYPES

This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing) installation. However, it can also be Enclosed (under a
cabinet) or Built-in (sealed to the floor). In every case, there must be adequate air space around the unit for ventilation.

Mobile Installation

A mobile installation 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 ice maker.

Enclosed Installation

An enclosed installation 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 ice maker.

Built-in installation

If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit.
The following additional items must be observed.
Place ice maker in front of installation location. Remove the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or

leaks. Tighten every connection (including connection at the water inlet).
If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker.
5.
Push the ice maker into position.
6.
Seal all around the cabinet to the floor 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 final position.
