Installation Instructions
Electrical Service
!
All wiring must conform to local, state and national
codes.
VOLTAGE
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of the
rated voltage on the ice machine model/serial number
plate at start-up (when the electrical load is highest).
GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER CIRCUIT (GFIC)
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protection is a system
that shuts down the electric circuit (opens it) when it
senses an unexpected loss of power, presumably to
ground. Manitowoc does not recommend the use of a
GFCI/GFI circuit protection with our equipment. If code
requires the use of a GFCI/GFI then you must follow the
local code. The circuit must be dedicated, sized properly
and there must be a panel GFCI/GFI breaker. We do not
recommend GFCI/GFI outlets as they are known for
more intermittent nuisance trips than panel breakers.
FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER
A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for
each ice machine. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R.
rated (does not apply in Canada).
QF0406A 115/60/1 ice machines are factory pre-wired
with a power cord and 5-15P plug confirmation.
For United Kingdom Only
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of the appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
•
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth ground symbol
•
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
•
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Warning
QF0406A 230/50/1 ice machines are factory pre-wired
with a power cord, no plug is supplied.
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance
with national and local electrical codes.
TOTAL CIRCUIT AMPACITY
The total circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire
size of the electrical supply.
The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon
location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be
determined by a qualified electrician.
