Connect the 3/4" GAS male fitting of the water
inlet, using the flexible tubing supplied with the
unit, to the cold water supply line with regular
plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve installed in
an accessible position between the water supply
line and the unit.
WATER DRAIN
Connect the drain fitting with the plastic tube
supplied to an open trapped and vented drain.
When the drain is a long run, allow 3 cm pitch per
meter (1/4" pitch per foot).
The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and
vented floor drain.
WATER DRAIN - WATER COOLED MODELS
Connect the 3/4" GAS male fitting of the
condenserwater drain, utilizing the flexible tubing
supplied, to the open trapped and vented drain.
This additional drain line must not interconnect to
any other of the units drains.
NOTE
. The water supply and the water drain
must be installed to conform with the local
code. In some case a licensed plumber and/
or a plumbing permit is required.
F.
FINAL CHECK LIST
1.
Is the unit in a room where ambient
temperatures are within a minimum of 10
°
C
(50
°
F) even in winter months?
2.
Is there at least a 15 cm (6") clearance
around the unit for proper air circulation?
3.
Is the unit level? (IMPORTANT)
4.
Have all the electrical and plumbing
connections been made, and is the water supply
shut-off valve open?
5.
Has the voltage been tested and checked
against the data plate rating?
6.
Has the water supply pressure been
checked to ensure a water pressure of at least
1 bar (14 psi).
7.
Have the bolts holding the compressor down
been checked to ensure that the compressor is
snugly fitted onto the mounting pads?
8.
Check all refrigerant lines and conduit lines
to guard against vibrations and possible failure.
9.
Have the bin liner and cabinet been wiped
clean?
10. Has the owner/user been given the User
Manual and been instructed on the importance of
periodic maintenance checks?
Make sure that the ice machine is connected to its
own circuit and individually fused (see data plate
for fuse size).
The maximum allowable voltage variation should
not exceed -10% and +10% of the data plate
rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning
and may be responsible for serious damage to
the overload switch and motor windings.
NOTE
. All external wiring should conform to
national, state and local standards and
regulations.
Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s
data plate before connecting the unit.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
GENERAL
When choosing the water supply for the ice flaker
consideration should be given to:
a) Length of run
b) Water clarity and purity
c) Adequate water supply pressure
Since water is the most important single ingredient
in producting ice you cannot emphasize too much
the three items listed above.
Low water pressure, below 1 bar may cause
malfunction of the ice maker unit.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to
produce scale build-up on the interior parts of the
water system while too soft water (with too lo
contents of mineral salts), will produce a very
hard flaker ice.
WARNING. The use of de-mineralized
water (water with no salt content) having
an electrical conductivity lower than 30
µ
s,
will cause the ability of the water sensors
to vanish with the consequent CUT-OUT
of the flaker operations.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect the 3/4" GAS male of the water inlet
fitting, using the food grade flexible tubing supplied
with the machine, to the cold water supply line
with regular plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve
installed in an accessible position between the
water supply line and the unit.
If water contains a high level of impurities, it is
advisable to consider the installation of an
appropriate water filter or conditioner.
WATER SUPPLY - WATER COOLED MODELS
The water cooled versions of SIMAG Ice Makers
require two separate inlet water supplies, one for
the water making the flaker ice and the other for
the water cooled condenser.
