Installation Guidelines

Installation Guidelines

For proper operation of the ICE-O-Matic 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: ICE-O-Matic 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)

Maximum incoming water pressure: 60 psi (4.1 bar)

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, float overflow drain and water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The use of condensate pumps for draining water is not recommended by ICE-O-Matic. ICE-O-Matic 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 sides of the ice machine for proper air circulation.

Stacking

ICE-O-Matic flake ice machines are not designed to be stacked.

Dispenser Application

ICE-O-Matic flake ice machines are not designed for dispenser application.

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. The EF and EMF Series Flakers are not supplied with an electrical power cord and will need to be installed and wired per local electrical codes. 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.

Adjustments

Level the machine within 1/8 inch in all directions. Adjust the cabinet or bin legs as required. Check the primary and secondary bin control for proper adjustment.

Check the water level in the reservoir for proper adjustment. Check the safety control for proper adjustment.

Check the water regulating valve adjustment if water cooled.

Remote Machines

Verify the ICE machine is compatible with the remote condenser. Some ice machines and some remote condensers may or may not have a Mixing Valve (Head Master). Only one valve is required per system. Kits are available to modify the condenser for compatibility. For more information contact your ICE-O-Matic Distributor.
