UCG GOURMET SERIES UNDERCOUNTER 

pg. 4 

 

b.

 

Minimum  water  inlet  temperature  of  40˚F  (5˚C)  and  maximum  water  inlet 
temperature of 90˚F (35˚C). 

c.

 

Well ventilated location. 

d.

 

Service access: adequate space must be left for all service connections through the 
rear of the ice maker.  A minimum clearance of 6” (15cm) must be left at the sides of 
the unit for routing air drawn into and exhausted out of the compartment to maintain 
proper condensing operation. 

2.

 

Level the unit in both the left to right and front to rear directions. 

 

D. 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

See data plate for current requirements to determine wire size to be used for electrical connections.  
All Ice‐O‐Matic ice makers require a solid earth wire.  They are supplied from the factory completely 
pre‐wired and require only electrical power connections to the wire cord provided at the rear of the 
unit.  Make sure the ice maker 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.  Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s data plate 
before connecting the unit. 

 

 

 

E. 

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS 

GENERAL 

When choosing the water supply for the ice maker 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 producing ice, the three items listed above are 
extremely significant.  Low water pressure, below 14 psi (1 bar), may cause malfunction of the ice 
maker.  Water containing excessive minerals will tend to produce cloudy ice cubes, in addition to scale 
build‐up on parts of the water system. 

WATER SUPPLY 

Connect the ¾” male fitting of the solenoid water inlet valve, using the flexible tube supplied, 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 use of an appropriate water filter. 

        

 

NOTE: All external wiring should conform to national, 
state, and local standards and regulations.
