Installation Guidelines | Ice-O-Matic ICE250 through ICE2100 SERIES

ICE Series

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

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 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 rear, top, and sides of the ice machine for proper air circulation.

Stacking

If the ice machines are to be stacked, refer to the instructions in the stacking kit. ICE-O-Matic does not endorse stacking air-cooled ice machines.

Dispenser Application

A thermostatic bin control kit should be installed if the ICE Series ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin top may or may not be required. (Exception is the CD400 Series Dispenser)

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

Undercounter series ice makers are supplied with an electrical cord, all other ice makers will need to be installed and wired per local electrical codes.

Adjustments

Level the machine within 1/8 inch in all directions.

Check the bin control for proper adjustment.

Check the water in the water trough for proper level.

Check the ice bridge for proper thickness.

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 ice machine or condenser for compatibility. For more information contact your ICE-O-Matic Distributor.
