Installation
MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY
The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire
size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity is not
the ice machine’s running amp load.)
ELECTRIC REQUIREMENTS
Refer to Ice Machine Model/Serial Plate for voltage/
amperage specifications.

GFCI REQUIREMENTS
If GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is required by local
electrical code, it must be breaker type.
Water Supply and Drain Requirements
WATER SUPPLY
Prepare water supply line and drain before installation of
your ice machine. Installation requires a 1/4” ID copper cold
water line and compression fitting (not supplied). The ice
machine is supplied with a drain hose for gravity draining.
The optional drain pump must be purchased if a gravity
drain is not possible. Both drain methods require routing to
an open site drain. Do not connect directly to drain line as
bacteria from drain line may contaminate the ice machine.
The included water filter is designed to inhibit scale
formation, filter sediment, and remove chlorine odor and
taste. The life expectancy of the water filter is 6 months
during normal usage. The ice machine control board will
monitor water usage and indicate when replacement is
required.
WATER INLET LINES
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
• Plumbing must conform to state and local codes.
• Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply.
Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other
equipment are working. (Check valves on sink faucets,
dishwashers, etc.)
• Water pressure must remain between 20 and 80 psig
(14 to 55 bar). If water pressure exceeds the maximum
recommended pressure (80 psi - 55 bar), obtain a water
pressure regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
• Install a water shut-off valve for the ice making water
lines.
• Insulate the water inlet line to prevent condensation.
