INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
3
All drain lines must be installed per local codes.
The purge drain should be a minimum of 3/4 inch
O.D. tubing. The condenser drain on water cooled
units should be 1/2 inch O.D. minimum. The drain
line fittings on Ice-O-Matic bins are 3/4 FPT. The
bin drain should be a minimum of 3/4 inch O.D.
Cold water drains should be insulated to prevent
condensation from forming.
Condensate Drain Installation
A condensate drain connection is available in the
base of 22” and 30” ice makers. It may be
necessary to use this connection if operating in
high humidity.
1. Silicone around the outside of a 1/2” – 9/
16” OD flexible or rigid tube.
2. Insert the tube approximately 1” between
the condensate drain hole and ice maker
frame located on the back of the ice maker,
below the primary purge water connection.
3.
Tip:
If the tubing is a challenge to insert,
the screws holding the metal frame to the
plastic base can be loosened. Re-tighten
the screws once the tubing is fully inserted.
4. Run the tubing to drain, ensuring it is
supported to prevent kinks or the drain line
coming loose.
Silicone around the outer edge of the connection as
needed to ensure a proper seal.
Clearance Requirements
Self-contained air cooled ice machines should have
a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the
rear, top, and sides for proper air circulation and
adequate space for serviceability.
Self-contained air-cooled ice machines exhaust air
out of the top and right side of the unit. By use of
SMART HARNESS™ technology, there are two
alternative air exhaust options. Option A (top
exhaust bias): minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of
clearance at the rear and top of the ice machine for
proper function at maximum operating conditions.
Option B (side exhaust bias): minimum of 6 inches
(15cm) of clearance at the rear and right side of the
ice machine with a minimum of 3 inches (7.5cm)
of clearance at the top for proper function at
maximum operating conditions.
Appropriate space should be allowed for proper
serviceability of the machine. Excess time to gain
access for serviceability is not covered under
warranty.
Stacking
Ice-O-Matic does not endorse stacking ice
machines.
Dispenser Application
A thermostatic bin control kit should be installed if
the CIM Cube ice machine is placed on a
dispenser. A bin top may or may not be required
and should be secured to the dispenser.
