Installation
the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
•
Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF and below 90ºF. This unit MUST be installed
in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
•
Ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources.
• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 3/4”. soft copper tubing with a shut-off
valve and a gravity-drain system.
• The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 20psi and a static pressure
not to exceed 80psi. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be between 41ºF and
90ºF for proper operation.
• In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove
taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy
cubes that stick together. Deionized water is not recommend.
•
The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with all state
and local codes.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in
order to work properly.
•
The plug must be accessible after installation.
•
A standard electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, required.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and wall.
LEVELING THE ICE MAKER
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating
the plastic sheaths around each of the four rolling casters on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the
surface is not level, rotate the casters until the ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several
adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine. You will find that the
casters make it easy for one person to move the machine. This is useful for cleaning and sanitizing the surface
on which the ice maker is installed because it allows you to move the unit and have easy access to the surface
to be cleaned.
IMPORTANT: Once you are ready to install it in a cabinet or directly on the floor, you must adjust the
feet to level the ice maker and lock the rollers. If the floor is level, just revolve the two front feet to
touch the floor (See illustration).
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 50ºF to
90ºF. Normal operating water temperature should be between 41ºF and
90ºF. Operation of the icemaker for extended periods out side of these
normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
