PLEASE READ all instructions completely before attempting to install or operate the
unit. All ice makers require a connection to the water supply and improper hook-up can
result in substantial property damage! All water and drain connections MUST BE made
by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and

Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water and drain
connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to
follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm.
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.

Before installing an icemaker with a factory installed pump, it is extremely important to
check and test all hose connections at the drain pump. There is a possibility that hose
connections may have loosened during shipment.

7 Verify pump operation by pouring one gallon of water into the ice storage bin
of the ice maker. The pump should energize and pump the water into the
container.
8 At this time, verify that all tube and clamp connections are tight and leak free.
9 Unplug unit power cord from electrical outlet.
10 Reinstall back panel.

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).

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.
