3. INSTALLATION
THIS ICE MAKER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR OPERATION.
An incorrect installation of the equipment may cause damages to individuals, animals or other materials, being the
manufacturer not responsible for such damages.
3.1.- SITE CONDITIONS
ATTENTION:
The IQ machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 10ºC (50ºF) and 43ºC
(109.40ºF).
Below the minimum temperatures, the gear motor is forced excessively. Above the maximum,
compressor life is shortened and production decreases considerably.
Do not place anything on the machine or in front of the grille.
For condensed air machines (Figure III), if the front air intake is insufficient, the exit is
totally or partially obstructed, or if by its placement it is going to receive hot air from
another device, we strongly advise, in case of not being able to change the site of the
machine, INSTALL A WATER CONDENSER.
3.2.- CONNECTIONS TO THE WATER NETWORK
The water quality has a significant effect on the appearance, density and taste of the ice, and
will affect the life expectancy of a water condenser, if used.
Use the 3/8 FPT connection. The water connection needs to be dedicated (only piece of
equipment hooked to the water line). Water line from the water valve to the ice machine needs
to be ¼” nominal ID tubing.
In order to comply with the federal, state and local regulations the machine must be connected with a proper backflow protection
.
3.3.- CONNECTION TO DRAINAGE
Use the 3/4 FPT connection.
Drainage should be located lower to the machine level, at 150 mm (5.91 inches) minimum.
It is convenient that the drainage pipe is of 25 mm (1.”) of interior diameter and with a minimum gradient of 3 cm (1.18 in) per meter
(see figure).
