installation

1NoteBefore installing the machine make sure that:

a)the room temperature must not fall below 10˚c (50˚F) or above (100˚F).

b)the water conductivity value must not be below 10 µs/cm.

c)the main water temperature must not fall below 5˚C (40˚F) or above

35˚C (95˚ F).

d)the main water pressure must not fall below 1bar. (14 PSI) or above 5 bar. (70 PSI). If pressure is above 5 bar. a pressure regulator should be fitted to

the water supply to the machine (Fig.11)

Fig 11.

e)machine is away from sources of heat and in a sufficiently ventilated area. A distance of at least 20cm must

be allowed	Fig 12.
between the
sides, back and
the walls of the
machines
(Fig.12, Fig.14).

f)the machine will not work with demineralized

water. Fig 14.

Before bringing the icemaker into action perform the following operations:

1)Check that ice cuber has not been damaged during transportation (Fig.1)

	Fig 1.
	2) Match the icemaker to
	its storage bin, fixing them
	with the two screws
Fig 20.	supplied with the machine
	(Fig.20).

3)Clean the inside of machine and storage bin by means of a warm water and sodium-bicarbonate dampened sponge; rinse with plain water and dry thoroughly.

4)Locate the icemaker and

the storage bin in the final place, making sure that the two are perfectly level, in order to obtain an even distribution of the water all over the evaporator and a uniform filling of the cube plate (Fig.13).

The storage bin is equipped with adjustable feet, which

allow for easy levelling andFig 13. sufficient height for cleaning

under the machine.

Fig 16. Fig 17.

5)Unlock the sensor and the baffle by removing the transit packaging 1and tape 2, which have been applied to avoid any damage during transportation (Fig.16 & Fig.17).

6)The icemaker has been designed for coupling with another icemaker, which can be installed on the top of the first one. For this installation, a kit can be supplied upon request. It contains all necessary assembling instructions.

7)Do not put the machine in a dusty environment as this could cause a fast build up of dust etc, therefore effecting the efficient working of the condenser (only for air-cooled models).

8)Never keep food, bottles or other things in the bin in order to avoid the stored ice becoming tainted.

9)Connect machine to the water supply first and then to a suitable electricity supply.

10)Connect the 3/4" Feeding pipe (supplied) to the machine and to the cold drinking water supply line. It is advisable to install a shut-off valve (not supplied) to the water feed pipe. If the feed water contains impurities, the installation of a filter system is

recommended. If the

water is particularly hard, i.e.

rich in minerals and their derivatives, the application of a suitable water filter is recommended, preventing any scale deposits blocking the water circuit of the machine (Fig.18).

11)Fit the flexible drain pipes to the icemaker and the storage bin ensuring there is adequate fall on the pipes to avoid the drain water backing up. For a perfect water outlet from the machine a minimum incline of 3% of the pipes is advisable. Check also that the pipes are not throttled or siphoned. It is advisable that the pipes discharge in an open vented drain (Fig.18).

12)Connect the machine to the electricity supply after having checked that the voltage corresponds to that on the plate

Fig 5.	on the rear panel of
	the machine (Fig.5).

The maximum voltage variation should not exceed ± 6% of that stated on the rating plate. A fused isolator must be included in the electrical circuit to the machine, with its own bipolar main switch at least 3 mm. of contacts opening. The machine should be connected to a suitable power supply with earth terminal.

13)Air deflector installation. (Fig.24) The deflector has to be installed in order to prevent the re-circulation of hot air to the condenser.
