Location Limitations

This ice system is made up of three parts, the ice 

making machine, or head; the remote condenser; and 

the interconnecting tubing. The ice making machine 

must be installed indoors, in a controlled environment. 

Space must be provided near the machine for service 

access. The remote condenser may be installed 

above or below the ice machine, per the limits stated 

later in this manual. The remote condenser may 

be installed outdoors within the temperature limits 

listed below. The interconnecting tubing must be 

installed per the directions stated in this manual, 

and the amount of tubing exposed to uncontrolled 

temperatures must be minimized.

Space Limitations

Although the machine will function with no clearance 

to the top and sides, some space must be allowed 

for service access. Building the machine in with no 

access will cause higher service cost, in many cases 

this extra cost may not be covered by warranty.

Warranty Information

The warranty statement for this product is provided 

separately from this manual. Refer to it for applicable 

coverage. In general warranty covers defects 

in material and workmanship. It does not cover 

maintenance, corrections to installations, or situations 

when the ice machine is operated in circumstances 

that exceed the limitations printed above.

Product Information

The machine is a specialized version of a modular 

cuber. A modular cuber does not include any ice 

storage, it is designed to be placed onto an ice 

storage bin. Many installations only require the 

matching bin, but some may need an adapter to be 

placed between the ice machine and the bin.
Additionally, the machine must be connected to the 

correct remote condenser and use the correct pre-

charged tubing. The machine is supplied with a full 

refrigerant charge, field charging is not required.

This product cannot be stacked.
