WATER SERVICE/DRAINS
Water Supply
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and
remove chlorine odor and taste.
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.)
•
If water pressure exceeds the maximum
recommended pressure, 5 bar (500 kPA), install a
water pressure regulator.
•
Install a water shut-off valve.
Drain Connections
•
Drain lines must have a 2.5 cm per meter drop, and
must not create traps.
•
The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
!
Caution
The ice machine must be protected if it will be
subjected to temperatures below 0°C. Failure
caused by exposure to freezing temperatures is not
covered by the warranty.
