Requirements
Water Supply
Local water conditions may require
treatment of the water to inhibit scale
formation, filter sediment, and remove
chlorine odor and taste.
n
Connect to a potable water supply only.
Plumbing must conform to state, local and
national codes.

Follow these guidelines to install water inlet
lines:
• If you are installing a 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 your local distributor.
• Install a water shut-off valve for both the
ice making and condenser water lines.
• Insulate water inlet lines to prevent
condensation.



otice
Do not apply heat to water valve inlet
fitting. This will damage plastic water inlet
connection.

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.
AUXILIARY BASE DRAI
I
STALLATIO

An auxiliary drain is located in the ice
machine base to remove moisture in high
humidity areas.
1. View the back of the ice machine base
on the compressor side and locate and
remove the cap plug.
2. Route tubing to an open site drain:
• Use 1/2 inch CPVC tubing.
• Apply a bead of silicone around the
exterior of the ice machine tubing
and insert into ice machine base.
The silicone will secure the tubing
and provide a watertight seal.
3. Provide support for tubing.
