Installation Instructions
Water Supply and Drain Requirements
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and
remove chlorine odor and taste.
!
Connect to a potable water supply only.
WATER INLET LINES
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•
If you are installing a Manitowoc Arctic Pure water
filter system, refer to the Installation Instructions
supplied with the filter system for ice making water
inlet connections.
•
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 of 80 psi (552 kPa), obtain a
water pressure regulator from a local plumbing
supply company.
•
Install a water shut-off valve for both the ice making
and condenser water lines.
•
Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
! Caution
Do not apply heat to water valve inlet fitting. This will
damage plastic water inlet connection.
AIR GAP
A greater than1 inch air gap is built into the ice machine
for back-flow prevention. This air gap exceeds NSF 12
requirements for back-flow prevention.
This Air Gap is Greater Than 1"

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
water-cooled models.
•
A separate auxiliary drain is located in the ice
machine base to remove moisture in high humidity
areas. The drain fitting is a female socket for 1/2"
CPVC pipe.
