Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines
For proper operation of the Cornelius 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: Cornelius 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, purge drain and water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The use of condensate pumps for draining water is not recommended by Cornelius. Cornelius assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment.
Note: The purge drain fitting is plastic; DO NOT apply heat to the purge drain area.
Water Filtration
A water filter system should be installed with the ice machine.
Clearance Requirements
Stacking
If the ice machines are to be stacked, refer to the instructions in the stacking kit. Acme does not endorse stacking air- cooled ice machines.
Dispenser Application
A thermostatic bin control kit should be installed if the CCM Series ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin top may or may not be required. (Exception is the CHD22 and CHD30 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 115 volt
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.
