Installation Guidelines 

Note: Installation should be performed by a trained Service Technician. 
For proper operation of the ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. 
Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failures, and may void all 
warranties. 
 

Ambient Operating Temperatures 

Minimum Operating Temperature: 50°F (10°C) 
Maximum Operating Temperature 100°F (38°C). 

Note: These products are not designed for outdoor installation. 
 
Incoming Water Supply 

Minimum incoming water temperature: 40°F (5°C) 
Maximum incoming water temperature: 90°F (32°C) 
Minimum incoming water pressure: 15 psig 
Maximum incoming water pressure: 80 psig 

Note: If water pressure exceeds 80 psig, a water pressure regulator must be installed. 
 
Drains: 

Route bin drain, purge drain and water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The 

use of condensate pumps for draining water on equipment producing over 200 lbs./day is not 
recommended by Manufactor. We assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment. 
 

Water Filtration 

A water filter system should be installed with the ice machine. 
 

Clearance Requirements 

Self contained air cooled ice machines must have a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the 
rear, top, and sides of the ice machine for proper air circulation. Since undercounter machines 
breathe from the front, top and side clearances are minimal. 
 

Stacking 

If the ice machines are to be stacked, refer to the instructions in the stacking kit. We does not 
endorse stacking aircooled ice machines. 
 

Dispenser Application 

A thermostatic bin control kit must be installed if the ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin 
top may or may not be required. 
 

Ice Maker Maintenance 

Maintenance Procedure 

1. Clean the icemaking section per the instructions below. Cleaning should be performed a 
minimum of every 6 months. Local water conditions may require that cleaning be performed more 
often. 
2. Check ice bridge thickness. Proper thickness should be 1/16-1/8’’. 
3. Check water level in trough. See troubleshooting for proper water level and adjustment. 
4. Clean the condenser to insure unobstructed air flow. 
5. Check for leaks of any kind: Water, Refrigerant, Oil, Etc. 
6. Check the bin switch for proper adjustment. 
7. Check all electrical connections.
