•To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Allow at least 101 mm (4”) clearance at rear, and 15 mm (0.6”) at top and sides for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
•When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. Place electrical and water supplies and drain fixtures in the recommended locations as shown.
•Choose a
•The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
•Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) soft copper tubing with a
(NOTE: Runoff water can also be drained into a sink via a pump – not included – when a gravity drain is not available.)
•The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 20 psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC) for proper operation.
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 55ºF (13ºC) to 90ºF (32ºC). Normal operating water temperature should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 77ºF (25ºC). Operation of the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
•In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized water is not recommended.
•The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes.
•The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by revolving the feet. See the “Leveling the Ice Maker” section.
