INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
You will get better service from the ice machine, longer life and greater convenience if you choose its location
with care.
Here are a few points to consider:
1. Select a location as close as possible to where you are going to use the ice.
2. Allow a minimum of 6”space at sides and rear of machine for ventilation.
3. A kitchen installation is not desirable as a rule. If a kitchen installation is necessary, locate the machine as
far away
from the cooking area as possible. Grease laden air will form greasy deposits on the condenser. This re-
duces the ice making efficiency and necessitates thorough cleaning quite often.
4. If you install the unit in a storeroom, be sure the room is well ventilated.
NOTE:
Do not install where the ambient and incoming water temperature will drop below 50
°
F or rise to
over 100
°
F.
NOTE:
If water pressure exceeds 50 lbs., a water pressure regulator should be installed in water inlet
line between water shut- off valve and strainer. Minimum incoming water pressure required is 22 lbs..
A. Uncrate the unit by removing the staples or nails from the bottom of the carton and lift off.
B. Remove the bolts holding the skid to the machine.
C. If legs are used, adjust the leveling legs of the storage bin until the unit is level and all four (4) legs are
in solid contact with the floor. Leveling is very important to obtain proper draining
.
D. Provide a cold water supply line to the area selected for the installation of the unit. The incoming wa-
ter line should have a shut--off valve provided at a convenient location close to the ice maker. The wa-
ter strainer provided with the unit should be installed on the down--stream side of the shut--off valve.
The supply line must be adequately sized to compensate for the lengths of the incoming water run.
The machine is equipped with a 3/8”male flare connection for the incoming water line.
NOTE:
ALWAYS FLUSH OUT WATER LINES BEFORE STARTING UNIT.
Water cooled units have a water regulating valve that is factory set to operate at 270 to 310 PSIG
head pressure for R404a (water outlet temp. approx. 105F) This should be checked at the time the
unit is being installed.
Two water inlet connections are provided on water cooled units, one for the ice making (evaporator)
section, the other is for the water cooled condenser. Both connections are 3/8”male flare fittings. In-
let water to the condenser will go to the water regulating valve first, then to the condenser coil and out
the drain.
The reason for separate water inlet connections is that some installations use a water tower for cooling
the water used in the water cooled condenser and some installations use treated water for the ice
making inlet water.
A separate drain will be required for the outlet of the water cooled condenser.
E. Provide a suitable trapped open drain as close as possible to the area where the ice maker is going to
be installed. This may be an existing floor or a 1 1/4”trapped open drain. Connect the drain line to
the rear of the unit and run it with a good fall to the open drain. All plumbing must be installed accord-
ing to local codes. The storage bin drains by gravity, and therefore the drain line must maintain a
gradual slope to an open drain and should be insulated.
NOTE:
IN SOME CASES IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO INSULATE THE WATER SUPPLY LINE AND DRAIN
LINE. CONDENSATE DRIPPING TO THE FLOOR CAN CAUSE SERIOUS STAINING OF CARPETS OR
HARDWOODS.
