Requirements for plumbing
The water supply system needs to be installed as follows:
Connect the ice machine to the cold potable water supply using a 1/4" water supply hose with a
3/8"MPT connector. A shut off valve is recommended between the water supply and the ice
maker. If the tap water has a high mineral content(hard water) a water filter is highly
recommended.
The pressure of the tap water should be maintained at a level between 20psi (1.0bar) and 80psi
(4.9bar). The tap water and drain hose should be planned and prepared at the place of installation.
If an electric outlet is available just at the back of the ice maker, installation may be easier.
The electric power, tap water and drain hoses should satisfy all the provisions under the local laws
and regulations. For the position of the tap water, refer to the installation specifications and
drawings on pages 7 and 8.
Important Information :
The product is designed for use in a fixed position. Do not enclose the
product so that it cannot be moved for service and/or maintenance. When preparing the bottom
after installing the ice maker, place shims equivalent to the thickness of the bottom under the
product to keep the ice maker and bottom horizontal. The lateral side should have at least 1/6" (4)
of space for projection of the screw head.
Important Information :
Piping should be carried out in accordance with all the provisions laid out
under the local laws and regulations.
