EF and EMF Series
Installation Guidelines

Set-Up
●
Carefully uncrate machine and check for visible damage. If any damage is noted, stop
installation and follow instructions on Page iii.
●
Remove skid bolts or screws and lift machine off of the skid.
●
Install legs (packaged inside bin) on base of machine or storage bin.
●
Remove and discard the 2 bolts at the rear of the EF series cabinet that secure the
chassis for shipping.
Install Junction Box
●
Place the EMF series model on top of the bin or bin top, install the downchute sea
l
and
attach the ice machine with the hardware provided. Insure that the back of the ice
machine is flush with the back of the bin or bin top.
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.
Install Legs
If the ice machine is to be mounted on a bin or dispenser other than an ICE-O-Matic, refer to the manufacturer’s
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.
Danger!
Electrical shock and/or injury from moving parts inside this machine can cause serious injury or death. Disconnect
electrical supply to the machine prior to performing any adjustments or repairs.
Important!
All installations must comply with local and national electrical codes.
European Installations
The electrical supply fixed wiring must be provided with a disconnection means having a separation of at least 3mm in
all poles.
Electrical Connections
1. Check for proper voltage, wire and fuse size according to the specifications listed on the serial data plate
located on the rear of the ice machine cabinet.
2. Supply power to the ice machine on a dedicated electrical circuit. Only the ice machine should be on this
circuit. Reference the electrical wiring diagram on the ice machine.
3. On EF models make electrical connections in the junction box, taped to the chassis frame. Mount the junction
box to the rear of the machine cabinet with the provided hardware and install the line voltage flexible conduit to
the junction box. On all other models secure the conduit or electrical cord to back of the machine at the 7/8
inch hole. Make electrical connections at the terminal block located in the electrical box.
Important!
A water filtration system should be installed with all ice machines. Check the filter manufacturer’s instructions for
proper installation of the filter system.
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 ice
making 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 Condenser drain on water cooled units should be 3/8 inch O.D.
minimum. 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 sweating.
Warning!
Do not apply heat directly to the back of bin as damage may occur to plastic parts.
Insure 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.
