Water Connection of the Machine

Warning:

• The ice machine can only be connected to a drinking water source, and the water source must comply with local drinking water standards.
• The water supply to the ice maker must be connected to a filter to improve the drinking standard of the water. Please do not directly connect to tap water.
• The water supply pressure should be within 0.1-0.4MPa. If the pressure is greater than 0.4MPa, a pressure reducing valve needs to be connected.
• The machine is drained by its own weight, so the drain pipe should have sufficient height.

Water intake

This diagram illustrates the water connection setup. A tap is shown connected via a filter unit to the ice maker's water intake. A power cord leads to an earthed socket, and a drain pipe extends from the machine.

Drainage

Warning: Because the ice in the inner tank will melt, the drain pipe must be connected before using, and insert the drain pipe into a container or into the sewer.

Note: Connect one end of the drain pipe to the machine, and the other end to a container or sewer. The other port of the drain pipe must be lower than the drain port of the machine.

A diagram shows the drain pipe connected from the ice maker to a container labeled "Melted water container (Prepared by buyer)". The instruction "Put the drain pipe into container or sewer" is displayed.
