Installation Instructions

 

Section 1

Water Service/Drains 

WATER SUPPLY 

Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to 
inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, remove chlorine, and 
improve taste and clarity. 
 

WATER INLET LINES 

Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines: 

 

Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply. Be 
sure all hot water restrictors installed for other equipment are 
working. (Check valves on sink faucets, dishwashers, etc.) 

 

Water pressure to the machine should be between 1.4 to 5.5 
bar (20 to 80 psi). 

 

If water pressure exceeds the maximum 5 bar recommended 
pressure, obtain a water pressure regulator from your 
Manitowoc distributor. Adjust pressure to 2.5 bar (37 psi). 

 

Install a water shut-off valve. 

 

Connect to a potable water supply only. 

 
 

Important

 

If you are installing a water filter system, make sure that 
you use a separate line for water-cooled condenser. 
Filter life will be greatly reduced if filtered water is used 
for water-cooled condenser.  

 

DRAIN CONNECTIONS 

Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent 
drain water from flowing back into the ice machine and storage 
bin: 

 

Drain lines must have a 3.8 cm (1.5 inch) drop of run for 
each meter (3 feet), and must not create traps. 

 

The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate 
drainage from all drains. 

 

Run separate bin and water-cooled condenser drain lines. 
Insulate them to prevent condensation
