Installation Instructions

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 free of airborne and other contaminants.

•The air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C), but must not exceed 110°F (43°C).

•The water temperature must be at least 40°F (4°C), but must not exceed 90°F (32°C).

•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.

NOTE: Water-cooled/Remote condensing units only - there is no minimum clearance required. This value is recommended for efficient operation and servicing only.

Installation Requirements

•The ice machine and bin must be level.

•Vent the ice machine and bin drains separately.

•Bin drain termination must have an air gap.

•A backflow preventer is required on water inlet lines.

•The ice machine and bin must be sanitized after installation.

•Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and remove chlorine odor and taste.

•Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures outlined in this manual are not covered by the warranty.

Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle

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.

This information is also necessary when evaluating the benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to reduce air conditioning loads. The amount of heat added to an air conditioned environment by an ice machine using a water-cooled or remote condenser is negligible.

Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important when sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled condenser. Use the peak figure for sizing the cooling tower.
