Installation Guidelines

Remove the bin carton and tip the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the bin legs.
Secure the machine on top of the bin or dispenser.
Attach the ice machine to the bin with the mounting straps provided with the bin or dispenser. Insure that the back of
the ice machine is flush with the back of the bin. Proper functioning of the bin door requires the bin door, when it is
opened, to be in a stable position.
If the ice machine is too far forward on the bin, the opened door may not be stable, resulting in an unexpected closing
of the bin door. If the ice machine is to be mounted on a bin or dispenser other than an Ice-O-Matic, refer to the
manufacturers instructions for machine mounting. Ice-O-Matic will not be responsible for damage or injury that results
from unexpected closing of the bin door as a result of the ice machine being too far forward on the bin.
Important!
A water filtration system should be installed with all ice machines. Check the filter manufacturer's instructions for
proper installation.
All water supply lines must be installed per local codes.
Use 1/4 inch O.D. minimum on air cooled machines. On
water cooled machines 3/8 inch O.D. minimum tubing
must be run to the condenser. The water supply for the
float can “T” off from the condenser line using 1/4 inch
O.D. minimum tubing. Make 2 coils of extra tubing so that
the machine can be pulled away from the wall if service is
needed.
All drain lines must be installed per local codes. The
purge drain should be a minimum of 5/8 inch O.D. tubing.
The condenser drain on water cooled units should be 3/8
inch O.D. minimum. The drain line fittings on Ice-O-Matic
bins are 3/4 FPT. The bin drain should be a minimum of
3/4 inch O.D. Cold water drains should be insulated to
prevent condensation from forming.
Warning!
Do not apply heat directly to the back of bin as
damage may occur to plastic parts.
Do not over tighten the purge drain fitting as damage
may occur to plastic parts.
Connect power supply to the terminal block in the control
box or at the rear junction box if equipped.
Ensure the machine is level within 1/8 inch in all
directions.
Remove any shipping or packaging material.
If the machine has a remote condenser, reference the
Remote Condenser Installation Guidelines.
Once the machine has been installed, follow the
start-up procedures.
IMPORTANT!
Attach the ice machine to the bin or
dispenser with the provided
mounting hardware. Insure the back
of the ice machine is flush with the
back of the bin.
Warning!
Do not apply heat directly to the
back of bin as damage may occur
to plastic parts.
Warning! Do not over tighten as
damage may occur to plastic
parts.
