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 cuber
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 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 cloudy colored ice cubes, plus scale
build-up on the interior parts of the water system.
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
(SD 80-125-210)
The water cooled versions of SIMAG Ice Makers
require two separate inlet water supplies, one for
the water making the ice and the other for the
water cooled condenser.
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 a plastic tube 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).
On water cooled versions, the water drain line
from the condenser is internally connected with
the drain fitting of the unit.
It is strongly recommended therefore to install a
vertical open vent on unit drain line high point to
ensure good draining and to direct the drain line
to a trapped and vented floor drain receptacle.
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.
