2. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to properly install the Gevi Household Drain Hose Extension:

1. Prepare Original Hoses: Locate the two original drain hoses at the back of your ice maker. Before removing their end caps, fold the original drain hoses to prevent water flow. Do not unfold them until the extended hoses are properly installed and positioned in a sink or bucket.
2. Connect Extension Hoses: Attach the provided connectors to the ends of the original drain hoses. Then, connect the drain hose extension to these connectors. You may need to cut the extension pipe into two pieces if your setup requires separate hoses for each drain, or if you have purchased two separate extension hoses.

3. Usage

Once installed, the drain hose extension allows for convenient gravity-based drainage of your ice maker. Simply ensure the end of the hose is lower than the ice maker's drain outlet and directed into a suitable receptacle (sink or bucket) when draining is required.

4. Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and descaling of your ice maker are crucial for maintaining fresh ice production and extending the appliance's lifespan. The drain hose extension facilitates this process by providing an easy way to empty the ice maker's water reservoir.

• After draining, detach the extension hoses and seal the original hoses if you intend to move the ice maker or store the extension.
• Clean the silicone hose periodically with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly to prevent buildup.
• Ensure the hose is completely dry before storage.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with drainage, consider the following:

• No Drainage: Ensure the end of the drain hose is positioned lower than the ice maker's drain outlet. Gravity is essential for this system.
• Slow Drainage: Check for kinks or blockages in the hose. Ensure the hose is not pinched or obstructed.
• Leakage: Verify that all connections are secure and tight. Ensure the original hoses were properly folded and sealed before connecting the extension.
