Ice-O-Matic Installation Considerations

Allow enough space for:

Note: If the ice maker is limited on space, consider a top air discharge unit

Utilities:

✔What are the voltage characteristics of the electrical outlet that will be used for this ice maker?

✔Is there a floor drain?

✔Water source with water shut-off?

✔Are the utilities in close proximity to the ice maker location?

Remote installation:

✔Is there an outdoor condenser location above the ice maker?

✔Roof access and penetration?

✔Maximum pre-charged tubing line run considerations?

Note: Ice-O-Matic includes a free sea salt corrosion protectant on cuber remote condensers

Ask about:

✔The 7 year warranty on the evaporator if an Ice-O-Matic water filter is purchased with an Ice-O-Matic Cube ice maker and replaced every 6 months (U..S.. & Canada only)

✔Warranty program

✔Preventive maintenance programs
