NOTE
Figure 8
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
Water Supply
The ice machine must be connected to a potable, active
cold water supply line delivering water pressure at a mini-
mum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
• Water connection is made through a right angle garden
hose fitting supplied with the ice machine. See Figure 9
for detailed instructions. DO NOT USE ANY THREAD
SEALERS.
•
A water filter can be used with this ice machine. A qual
-
ity filter can help remove particles as well as remove
taste and odors from water.
• DO NOT USE A “REVERSE OSMOSIS” FILTERING
DEVICE.
• Softened water is not recommended. This will produce
soft, cloudy ice cubes that will stick together.
• De-ionized water is not recommended. This water will
not form solid ice cubes.
• A water specialist can recommend proper water treat-
ment.
• When installing a water line for this ice machine a
shutoff valve is recommended.
NOTE: DO NOT USE A
SELF-PIERCING TYPE VALVE.
• After installation of water line, turn on water and check
for any leaks around all fittings before positioning unit
back against wall. Additional tightening may be needed.
• Allow for extra water line coiled behind the unit as
shown in Figure 8 for built-in installations for easy re-
moval of ice machine and to help prevent the water line
from kinking.
The ice machine is designed to make clear ice from the
majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results
are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or
treated.
Secure the water supply line to the back of the cabinet with
the screw and clamp provided in the corner of the back
panel. (See Figure 8).
