With Top-Mounted Ice Machines
Installation Check List
For Q Series Dispensers
1. Location: Floor drain available - A floor
drain for the dispenser should be available. We
recommend that you vent the drain at the back
of the dispenser to reduce buildup of algae and
improve drainage. Drain tubing should be ½”
I.D. at maximum.
2.
Location: Avoid heat sources – Avoid placing
the ice machine near heat sources such as
radiators, heating vents and direct sunlight.
Avoid placing air-cooled ice machines in
kitchens, due to grease, flour, or other particles,
which can collect on the condenser and fan
blade, increasing ice machine maintenance and
reducing ice machine efficiency.
3. Location: On a solid floor – The dispenser and
ice maker should be sitting on a good, solid,
level floor or surface.
4. Location: Do not obstruct traffic – The
dispenser should not extend from the wall in a
way that obstructs traffic through the area.
5. Electrical – Proper electrical voltage is
available. Receptacle is available and
within six feet.
WARNING
Never use an extension cord. If an electrical outlet is
not within six feet, have proper amperage outlet
installed.
6. Clearances for top and both sides of ice
machine –
Use clearances specified in the ice
machine’s Installation and Use & Care Guide.
7.
Clearance behind ice machine for dispenser
and drains –
The location must allow enough
clearance for the water and drain connection at
the rear of the dispenser.
8.
Back of ice machine to be flush with back of
dispenser –
This allows installation of the
supplied mounting clip (metal plate) which
secures the ice machine to the dispenser.
9.
Separate drains – a separate drain line is
required for the ice machine, in addition to a
drain line for the Q Series Dispenser. Vent all
drain lines.
10.
Water filtration – Water filtration is strongly
recommended in order to increase the
performance of the ice machine and reduce
maintenance costs.
For full information about ice machine installation,
including plumbing lines, connections and electrical
requirements, see the ice machine installation
manual

WARNING
The dispenser must be grounded in accordance with
all local and national electrical codes.
