Placement
The location of the equipment should be selected
with care. Consideration should be given to allow
adequate space on the sides for air cooled models
to breathe.
Minimum clearance is 3 inches at the
sides, none at the back and 2 inches above. The
power outlet should be located within the length of the
supplied power cord.
Air cooled models in a small room require ventilation
to exhaust the heat they produce. They also produce
some added noise from the fan.
Nearby infrared emitters or a window that allows
sunlight to shine on a dispensing sensor may cause
the unit to dispense ice or water on its own.
Wall mount units do NOT have a drip tray, so they
MUST be positioned over a sink to collect any
dripping water or spilled ice.
Wall Mount
These models are designed for mounting on a wall.
Check building wall for the strength required to
support a machine of this weight and size. Note that
if at least 6” of space is not left above the machine,
cleaning and most service of the machine will require
removal of the machine from the wall mounts. All
utilities are to be routed thru the base. One inch of
space is needed between the wall and the back of the
machine.
Note: The wall must be plumb or the unit will be out of
level front to back.
It is recommended that the wall mounting installation
be done by an experienced contractor.
The weight of the machine when in use may exceed
350 pounds. The unit should be mounted on a solid,
rigid wall with proper fasteners for that type of wall
and of adequate strength to support the weight of the
machine when in use.
Unpack
Separate the carton from the shipping pallet.
Important: Locate and retain the wall mounting
brackets, they were shipped in a box on the skid
in front of the unit.
Remove any strapping holding the cabinet to the
pallet.
Inspect for hidden shipping damage. If any is found,
retain carton and notify carrier for potential claim.
Shipping damage is not covered by warranty.
Remove bolts holding machine to pallet. Use caution
to not tip unit too far when removing bolts.
Remove the protective plastic covering the panels.
The longer it is left on the panel, the harder it will be
to remove it.
Set Up
It is a good idea to
remove the front panels
and inspect for any
loose or rubbing parts
prior to installation.
Panel Removal
Remove one screw at
bottom front of upper
front panel, swing
bottom of panel forward
and lift off the unit.
Twist ice and water chutes counterclockwise and pull
down to remove.
Remove four screws from sides of splash panel, pull
forward slightly. If needed, unplug sensor connector
and separate panel from unit.
Pre-Start Inspection
Confirm there are no loose or rubbing parts.
