Pre-Installation
Other Applications:
Check sales literature for additional information.
Electrical:
Check the nameplate for electrical requirements. The nameplate is located on the back of the ice machine. If the information on the nameplate is different from other published information, go by the nameplate data.
While the model and serial number are on the nameplate, a serial number plate is located at the front of the machine, behind the left front panel and to the right of the purge valve.

Water:
There is no such thing as pure water. All water contains some impurities. There are two ways water carries the impurities: suspended and dissolved. Suspended solids can be filtered out. Dissolved solids must be diluted or treated. Water filters are recommended to remove suspended solids. Some filters have treatment in them for suspended solids. Check with a water treatment service for a recommendation.
Cube Ice machines use more water than what ends up in the bin as ice. While most water is used during ice making, a portion is designed to “rinse" out the water system to keep hard water scale from clogging up the machine. That water rinse, combined with water filters, prolongs the times between needed water system cleaning.
Service Technicians: All models covered here come set from the factory with at a “Standard” water rinse. Standard water rinse is designed to be compatible with typical water conditions. The machine may be adjusted to a different water rinse after start up. If the prior ice machine worked acceptably well with the local water conditions, leave the machine at the factory setting. If severe water conditions are present, and water filters do not solve the problem acceptably, adjust the machine to use more water. If water conditions are excellent, adjust the machine to use less water. See the Adjustments section.
Note: Water use adjustments are customer convenience adjustments; they are NOT factory defects and are NOT covered by warranty.
