select another location.
• The location must be indoors.
• The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.

not exceed 110°F (43.4°C).
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The location must be capable of supporting the
weight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.
• The location must allow enough clearance for water,
drain, and electrical connections in the
rear of the
ice machine .

around the ice machine (condenser airflow is in and
out the front). Refer to the chart below for clearance

• The ice machine must be protected if it will be
subjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Failure
