5.2 Water Connection
Your ice maker supports two water inlet modes:
- Direct Tap Water Connection: Connect the provided water supply pipe to a potable water source and the designated water intake port on the back of the ice maker. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

Connect the water drain pipe to the water outlet port on the back of the unit and direct it to a suitable drain.
