DRAIN SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in
accordance with all state and local codes and
ordinances. Follow these guidelines when installing
drain lines if the ice maker is provided with a gravity
drain system. This will help keep water from flowing
back into the ice maker storage bin. Water flowing
back into the ice maker can potentially flow onto the
floor and cause water damage.
Drain Requirements
Inside Diameter
minimum 5/8" (15.88 mm)
Drain lines must have a 1" drop
per 48" of run (2.54 cm drop
Drain Lines
per 122 cm of run) or
1/4" drop per 12" of run(6.35 mm
drop per 30.48 cm of run)
Maximum rise
Maximum run
The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1½"
(3.81 cm) to 2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed
directly below the outlet of the drain tube as shown.
You must maintain a 1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the
drain hose and the standpipe.
Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a
closed pipe system to keep drain water from backing
up into the ice maker.
Drain pump maximum capability: For every 1 ft
(0.31 m) of rise, subtract 10 ft (3.1 m) of maximum
allowable run.
IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a floor
drain is not available. A Drain Pump kit, Part Number
1901A, is available for purchase at
jennair.com/accessories/details/1901A.
NOTE: It may be desirable to insulate the drain
line thoroughly up to the drain inlet. An Insulation
Sleeve kit, Part Number W10365792, is available for
purchase at
jennair.com/accessories/details/W10365792.
