Drain - Franklin Chef FIM35OD Manual Del Usuario

Connecting the water line:
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
2. Find a 1/2" to 3/4" vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should
be less than 9 feet. The water supply hose provided wkh the ice maker is about 9 feet.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece
of copper tubing, attach a 1/4" O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect nuts of water supply hose to the tap, and connect the other end with the water inlet.
Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connections leaks. Tighten every
connection (including connections at the water inlet).
IMPORTANT."
When you connect the water supply hose and the drain hose, pay attention to the indications
of "Water inlet" and "Drain outlet" on the machine.

Connecting the drain line or not is optional When you choose to connect the drain line, you
shouhl follow the procedure in "Connecting the drain line" below. If not, just follow the steps
in "If you don't connect the drain hose".
IMPORTANT: When the machine is to be used outdoors, the drain line must be connected.
Connecting the drain line:
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker or the ice maker will be used as an outdoor
unit, the best choice is to drain water to the drain line through the drain hose provided with
ice maker.
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 9 feet since the
length of the long drain hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker, then take off the rear drainage plug. Connect
the nut of the drain outlet to the water draining hose, and insert the other side of the hose into
the drain line.
3. Screw off the water drainage nut and pull off the plug on the rear of the ice storage bin.
NOTE." Store the drainage nuts and plugs in the compartment on the back of the machine
labeled Nut/Plug Storage.
.
All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 1/4" per foot. An air gap will likely be
required between the ice maker drain hose 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.
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.
