INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Installation Guidelines
For proper operation of the Supera 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.
Reference the installation parameters prior to installing the machine:
Ambient Operating Temperatures
Minimum Operating Temperature: 50°F (10°C)
Maximum Operating Temperature 100°F (38°C), 110°F (43°C) on 50 Hz. Models
Note: Supera icemakers and dispensers are not approved for outdoor installation.
Incoming Water Supply (See Electrical and Plumbing Diagrams for line sizing)
Minimum incoming water temperature: 40°F (4.5°C)
Maximum incoming water temperature: 100°F (38°C)
Minimum incoming water pressure: 20 psi (1.4 bar) (0,138MPa)
Maximum incoming water pressure: 60 psi (4.1 bar) (0.414MPa)
Note: If water pressure exceeds 60 psi (4.1 bar), a water pressure regulator must be installed.
Drains
All drain lines must be installed per local codes. Flexible tubing is not recommended. Route bin
drain, purge drain and water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The use of condensate
pumps for draining water is not recommended by Supera. Supera assumes no responsibility for
improperly installed equipment.
Note: The purge drain fitting is plastic; DO NOT apply heat to the purge drain area; DO NOT
overtighten.
Water Filtration
A Supera 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.
Stacking
Supera does not endorse stacking ice machines.
Electrical Specifications
Refer to the serial plate at the rear of the ice machine to make sure proper voltage and circuit
breaker size have been supplied. Make sure the machine is on a dedicated circuit. European
installations require that the electrical supply fixed wiring must be provided with a disconnect
means having a separation of at least 3mm in all poles. The ice machines are provided without an
electrical cord set and are designed and agency approved to be permanently connected.
The 115 volt Undercounter ice makers are supplied with an electrical cord, all other ice makers will
need to be installed and wired per local electrical codes.
