Water supply connection
The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and
ultimately on the life of the product (mainly in water cooled units). It also will have a remarkable influence on the
appearance, hardness and flavor of the ice.
Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, improve taste and clarity. If
you are installing a water filter system, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the filter system.
Use a flexible food grade hose.
Pressure should be between 0.7 and 6 bar (10 and 85 psi ). If pressure overpasses such values, install a pressure
regulator.
ATTENTION: The machine shall be plumbed (with adequate backflow protection) according to applicable Federal
State and local regulations.

Drain connection
Drainage should be located lower to the machine level, at 150mm (5,9”) minimum.
It is convenient that the drain hose is 30mm (1,18”) inside diameter and with a minimum gradient of 3cm/metre
(0.36’’ / ft), see figure.
