Water Service/Drains
Water Inlet Lines
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
•If water pressure exceeds the maximum recommended pressure, obtain a water pressure regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
•Install a water
•Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
•Use teflon tape to seal threaded fittings.
CAUTION
Do not apply heat to water valve inlet fitting. This will damage plastic valve body.
Important
Install sump trough drain plug before starting the ice machine.
Drain Connections
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice machine and storage bin:
•Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of run (2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
•The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all drains.
•Run separate bin and ice machine drain lines. Insulate them to prevent condensation.
•Vent the bin and ice machine drain to the atmosphere. Do not vent the condenser drain on
CAUTION
Plumbing must conform to applicable codes.
