INSTALLATION
2.1.
Placing of the ice maker
This ice maker is not designed for outdoor operation. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or
other high heat producing equipment.
The SPIKA machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 5ºC (41ºF) and 43ºC (109.4ºF). There
may be some difficulties in ice slab removal under the minimum temperatures. Above the maximum
temperature, the life of the compressor is shortened and the production is substantially lower.
The air cooled SPIKA NG (undercounter) ice makers take the air through the front section, and drive it off through
the lateral, back and also front louvers due to their new oblique condenser structure and placement. Do not place
anything on the top of ice maker or facing the front grille. In case the front grille is either total or partially
obstructed, or due to its placement it receives hot air from another device, we recommend, in case it is not
possible to change the location, to install a water cooled machine.
