AFE325
To The Installer:
A professional installation of any product is critical to the long term satisfaction of the user. The AFE325 is designed to be installed indoors, near a drain. Determine the location from the anticipated use and any options planned for.
This air cooled machine blows air out the back and left sides of the cabinet. Do not install the machine where the air flow might be blocked.
The machine will require electrical power, water and a drain. Follow all local codes. Rough in the utilities before placing the machine into position (see For The Electrician and For The Plumber).
After uncrating, install the legs or optional casters. If the building’s drain is a floor drain near the machine, the cabinet can be placed on the floor and sealed around the edges.
Place the cabinet in the place where it will be operating. Note that the electrical and water connections need to be made.
Water Quality:
The quality of the water supplied to the machine will directly affect the purity of the ice and the reliability of the machine. While the condition of the water supplied to a building is normally out of the control of the user, water can be treated at the point of use.
There are two major types of water impurities: suspended solids (those that are carried along with the water and may be filtered out) and dissolved solids (those that are part of the water and have to be treated). A water filter is always a good idea, but does require regular maintenance to change the cartridge. In some water conditions, water treatment may be required. Generally this means a polyphosphate feeder of some kind. Water softeners are not recommended for the AFE325.
