Plumbing
All models require an adequate potable water supply and a
gravity drain. The recommendations for tubing are:
•
Water supply to be 3/8" OD.
•
Drain to be 3/4" OD.
Supply:
Air cooled models have 1 water supply connection, a 3/8"
male flare at the back of the cabinet. Connect to cold potable
water that has adequate pressure.
Note: Using water supply tubing smaller than 3/8" will cause
severe operational issues.
Water cooled models have an additional 3/8" FPT condenser
inlet connection at the back of the cabinet.
Water Filters:
The water filters must flow at least 10 liters per minute or
they will cause severe operational issues. Check with the
filter manufacturer. When replacing a prior ice machine, do
NOT assume that the water flow capacity of the filter will be
adequate.
All Drain Tubing Material must be RIGID. Flexible tubing
will eventually cause a restricted drain.
Drain:
Air cooled models have 1 gravity drain connection, a 3/4"
FPT fitting at the back of the cabinet. Use only RIGID
TUBING. Flexible tubing may be easily kinked or become
cracked.
The drain tube must be vented at the back of the cabinet.
Use a 45 cm high vent.
Water cooled models have an additional condenser drain. It
is a 1/2“ FPT fitting at the back of the cabinet. Do NOT vent
this drain.
The ice storage bin will have a drain out the back or base,
depending upon the model.
The drain for the ice machine and the ice storage bin must be
SEPARATE or the ice machine’s drain water may run into
the bin and MELT THE ICE.
Insulation is recommended for the ice machine reservoir and
bin drains.
Follow all applicable codes
Electrical
All models must be installed with the correct wire size and
type per the Local Electric Code. Locate the nameplate on
the back of the cabinet and find the numbers for Voltage,
Phase, Minimum Circuit Ampacity and Maximum Fuse
Size. Either fuses or HACR type circuit breakers may be
used.
The electrical disconnect switch with fuse protection must
be a two pole type with a minimum of 3 mm between open
contacts.
Electrical connections are made in the junction box in the
back of the cabinet.
1. Remove the junction box cover.
2. Knock out 1 hole for a field supplied strain relief.
3. Install wires and strain relief per code.
4. Connect to wires and secure ground wire to ground screw
inside the junction box.
Conform to all applicable codes.
The electrical disconnect switch with fuse protection must
be a two pole type with a minimum of 3 mm between open
contacts.
After Utility Connections
1. Level the cabinet, use the leg levelers on the end of the
legs to adjust the cabinet height.
2. Wash out the bin. If desired, the interior of the bin could
be sanitized.
3. Locate the ice scoop (if supplied) and have it available for
use when needed.
Final Check List:
1. Is the unit located indoors in a controlled environment?
2. Is the unit located where it can receive adequate cooling
air?
3. Has the correct electrical power been supplied to the
machine?
4. Have all the water supply connections been properly
made?
5. Have all the drain connections been properly made?
6. Has the unit been leveled?
7. Have all unpacking materials been removed?
