• Shut-off valves and drain valves must be installed at both the condenser water supply inlet
and condenser return outlet.
• Minimum water flow to the condenser is 15 LPM.
• The pressure differential between the condenser water supply inlet and condenser return
outlet must be no less than 0.07MPa
（
0.7bar
）
.
• When using a glycol blend, the solution mixture should be less than 30% glycol.
• In order to maintain the proper high side pressure, the condenser water supply inlet
temperature should not drop below 7°C and the condenser return outlet temperature must
be in the 40°C to 46°C range. Once the icemaker installation is complete, confirm the
condenser return outlet temperature 5 minutes after a freeze cycle starts. If the condenser
return outlet temperature is not in the proper range, use a flat blade screwdriver to rotate
the adjustment screw on the water-regulating valve until the temperature is in the proper
range (rotate counterclockwise to raise temperature or clockwise to lower temperature).

Separate piping to
approved drain. Leave
a 5-cm vertical air gap
between the end of each
pipe and the drain.
Be sure there is sufficient
extra water supply line and
drain line for the appliance
to be pulled out for service.
