COOL AIR INTAKE

WARM AIR DISCHARGE

IF BUILT IN, THIS SIDE SHOULD BE

TIGHT AGAINST THE PANEL TO

PREVENT AIR RECIRCULATION

CS55: FOR THE INSTALLER

Location:

Prior consideration for the location shall
include:

Indoors, with a minimum room
temperature of 50

0

F. and a maximum

room temperature of 100

0

F.

Water temperature to the machine
should be between 40

0

F. and 100

0

F.

Service Access. Allow enough space at
the back of the cabinet for the utilities to
be connected. Allow enough space for
the machine to be pulled out from its

installed location.  Do not build a floor
in front of the machine that would
prevent its removal.

Air circulation:  The front panel MUST
remain unobstructed. Do not block with
any type of door or curtain.

If the unit is built in, it will pull air in from
the right side of the front panel, and
exhaust it out the left side of the front
panel.  If the left side of the machine is left
open, warm air will be discharged from the

left side panel.
