Requirements for plumbing
Plan the arrangement of the water supply pipes.
Connect a 1/4" diameter copper cable with the tap water pipe.
Install a shutoff valve between the tap water pipe and the product so that the user can
operate the valve. Do not install the shutoff valve at the back of the product. Do not use
a self-piercing valve. If the tap water has a high level of minerals, a pipeline filter will be
required.
The pressure of the tap water should be maintained at a level between 20psi (1.4bar)
and 80psi (5.5bar). The tap water and drain pipeline should be planned and prepared at
the place of installation. If an electric outlet is available just at the back of the icemaker,
installation may be easier. The electric power, tap water pipeline and drain pipeline
should satisfy all the provisions under local laws and regulations. For the position of the
tap water, refer to the installation specifications and drawings on pages 10, 11 and 12.
Important Information:
The icemaker is designed for use in a fixed position but it
may be
necessary to pull the unit forward for service. Therefore, do not install any material at
the front, upper or lower end of the product which may act as an obstacle when
moving the ice maker.
When preparing the bottom after installing the ice maker, place shims equivalent to the
thickness of the bottom under the product to keep the ice maker and bottom horizontal.
The lateral side should have at least 1/6" (4 mm) of space to allow for the projection of
the screw head.
Installation on a slab:
Draw up the water to the drain position using the model with
a
built-in drain pump (BIM68OSPUMP). The drain pump model may raise the water up to
about 8ft (2.4m) in height. The more bends in the pipeline, the lower the raising height.
Installation in a narrow or underground space: Either the gravity drain model
(BIM68OSGDR) or the drain pump model (BIM68OSPUMP) may be used. If there is no
space for drainage/sewage at the back of the ice maker, the drain tube should be
placed under the bottom.
Important Information:
Pipe installation should be carried out in accordance with all the
provisions
laid out by local laws and regulations.
