Service Manual for Models CU0415, CU0715 and CU0920

Pre-Installation

This appliance is intended to be used in commercial 

applications including:

• 

Restaurant kitchens

• 

Bars

• 

Hotels

Dimensions and Electrical:

Location: 

The unit can be built into a cabinet as the air flow 

is in and out the front.  

The front of the machine 

must not be blocked.

 Certain maintenance or 

repair procedures will require removal of the top, 

back and side panels, so plan ahead for service and 

maintenance needs.

Spacing:

No additional spacing is required at the top or sides. 

However, suggested minimum side clearance for 

installation is 1/8 inch or 3 mm and suggested 

minimum top clearance is 1/4 inch or 7 mm. 

Allow 4 inches (100 mm) minimum space at the back 

for the utility connections. Do not block louvers at the 

front of the cabinet.

Unpacking and setup

Remove all shipping and packing materials that may 

be in the ice storage bin. 

The unit can be installed with or without legs. The 

cabinet is equipped with small bumpers on the base 

to allow placement without legs. An optional floor 

mounting kit is also available to fill the gap between 

the machine and floor if not using legs. If using legs, 

carefully tip the machine and install the legs by 

screwing them into the leg sockets in the bottom of 

the machine. For reference, the thread size is 5/8 – 

11. If the machine has been tipped onto its side or 

back allow 1 hour before starting the unit for the oil in 

the refrigeration system to return to the compressor.

Place the machine in its intended location and level it 

front to back and left to right. If using legs, adjust their 

feet in and out to level the cabinet. 

If legs are not used the bottom edges of the cabinet 

must be sealed to the floor.

If built into a cabinet, the adjacent cabinet walls will 

provide the means for containment. There are no 

means for attachment to the cabinet.

Be sure to remove the plastic covering the exterior panels, 

if left on it will be much harder to remove later.
