Manitowoc Ice QM30 Installation Instructions, Section, Self-Contained Air-Cooled, Series, Peak

Installation Instructions Section 2

Location of Ice Machine

The location selected for the ice machine must meet the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, select another location.

•The location must be indoors.

•The location must be free of airborne and other contaminants.

•The air temperature must be at least 10°C (50°F), but must not exceed 40°C (110°F).

•The location must not be near heat-generating equipment or in direct sunlight.

•The location must be capable of supporting the weight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.

•The location must allow enough clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine.

•The location must not obstruct airflow through or around the ice machine (condenser airflow is in and out the front). Refer to the chart below for clearance requirements.

	Self-Contained Air-Cooled
Top/Sides	5” (127 mm)*
Back	5” (127 mm)*

NOTE: The ice machine may be built into a cabinet.

There is no minimum clearance requirement for the top or left and right sides of the ice machine. The listed values are recommended for efficient operation and servicing only.

!Caution

The ice machine must be protected if it will be subjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Failure caused by exposure to freezing temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See “Removal from Service/Winterization” Section 4.

Ice Machine Heat of Rejection

*B.T.U./Hour

**Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle, the figure shown is an average.

Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing air conditioning equipment where self-contained air- cooled ice machines are installed.

Leveling the Ice Machine

After moving the ice machine into the installation location, it must be leveled for proper operation. Follow these steps to level the ice machine:

1.Check the level of the ice machine from front to back and from side to side.

Checking for Level

2.If the ice machine is not level, adjust the leveling glides on each corner of the base of the ice machine as necessary.

Leveling Glide

3.Check the level of the ice machine after each adjustment of the leveling glides.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the ice machine is level from front to back and from side to side.
