Pre-Installation
Other Applications:
Check sales literature for additional information.
Electrical:
Check the nameplate for electrical requirements.
The nameplate is located on the back of the ice
machine. If the information on the nameplate is
different from other published information, go by
the nameplate data.
While the model and
serial number are on
the nameplate, a
serial number plate is
located at the front of
the machine, behind
the left front panel
and to the right of the
purge valve.
Water:
There is no such thing as pure water. All water
contains some impurities. There are two ways
water carries the impurities: suspended and
dissolved. Suspended solids can be filtered out.
Dissolved solids must be diluted or treated. Water
filters are recommended to remove suspended
solids. Some filters have treatment in them for
suspended solids. Check with a water treatment
service for a recommendation.
Cube Ice machines use more water than what
ends up in the bin as ice. While most water is used
during ice making, a portion is designed to “rinse"
out the water system to keep hard water scale
from clogging up the machine. That water rinse,
combined with water filters, prolongs the times
between needed water system cleaning.
Service Technicians: All models covered here
come set from the factory with at a “Standard”
water rinse. Standard water rinse is designed to be
compatible with typical water conditions. The
ReliaClean™ water system provides an
adjustment method so the amount of water rinsed
out of the machine per cycle can be changed. If
the prior ice machine worked acceptably well with
the local water conditions, leave the machine at
the factory setting. If severe water conditions are
present, and water filters do not solve the problem
acceptably, adjust the machine to use more water.
If water conditions are excellent, adjust the
machine to use less water. See the Adjustments
section.
Note: Water use adjustments are customer
convenience adjustments; they are NOT factory
defects and are NOT covered by warranty.
