Drain Installation
INSTALLING THE DRAIN
Model E15IM60E can be installed using a gravity drain or can use a factory installed
or equivalent drain pump.
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water from flowing
back into the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor causing
water damage:
Gravity Drain
• Drain lines must have a 5/8 inch inside diameter.
• Drain lines must have a 1 inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch per foot) and
must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all
drains.
• Insulate the bin drain line to prevent condensation.

10 Drain Pump Connection
CONNECTING A DRAIN PUMP
If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not purchased the
E15IM60E with factory installed pump, we strongly recommend the use of the
Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump. The Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump is available
through your Dealer, or direct from Electrolux with complete installation instructions.
If a pump other than the Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump is to be used, it must meet
the following specifications:
• It must be UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire grounded power
cord.
• It must have overall maximum outside dimensions of 8-3/4" wide x 5-3/4"
deep x 7-3/4" high.
• It must have a minimum flow rate of 15 gallons per hour at 10 feet of lift.
• It must have a sealed sump which does not allow water leakage in the case
of a power outage, restricted drain or pump failure.
• It must have a check valve in the discharge line to prevent waste water return
to the pump.
• It must have an overflow protection control which will shut off power to the ice
maker in the event of a pump failure.
• It must have an operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F (10°C to 43°C).

CAUTIONUTION
UTIONUTION
UTION
In the event of a power outage, restricted drain or pump failure, the failure to use the
Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump or a pump with the above listed specifications, could
result in substantial water leakage and pooling with severe and costly water damage
and related consequential damages and harm.

Site Preparation
PREPARING THE SITE
1Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it
is fully loaded.
2The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not
exceed 110°F (43°C).
3The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in direct
sunlight.
4The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and electrical
connections in the rear of the ice maker.
5Connect the unit to a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A circuit
(normal household current).
6Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI). GFIs are prone to
nuisance tripping which will cause the unit to shut down. GFIs are generally not
used on circuits which power equipment that must run unattended for long
periods of time.
7The unit must be installed according to your local codes and ordinances.

It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill
evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into
the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely. Remember that
floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.

(grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards.
• NEVER remove the round grounding prong from the plug.
• NEVER use a two-prong grounding adapter.
• NEVER use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered or a longer power cord is required,
contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced in accordance with applicable
electrical codes.

Water Supply Connection
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• Make certain a SHUT-OFF VALVE is
installed in the 1/4 inch water supply line.
• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow
the unit to be moved for cleaning and
servicing. However, make certain that the
tubing is not pinched or damaged during
installation.
• Electrolux recommends the use of copper
tubing for installation.

additional tightening if needed. Do NOT use thread sealing
com-pound or tape.
Water Supply Connection
1Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed in the
unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over the
1/4 inch water supply line. Do not use thread sealing
compound or tape. Using two wrenches, tighten the
compression fitting on the supply line (see Figure 8).
2Carefully bend the water supply line into position and
connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figure 9).
Avoid kinking the water supply line.
3For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line
length to provide slack for easy removal from the
recessed area (see Figure 10). This will also safeguard
against kinking the line.
4Plug in the power cord.
5Gently push the unit into position. If desired the unit may
be recessed into cabinet or wall.
6Allow at least 1-1/2 inches clearance behind the unit for
electrical, water supply and drain connections.
