INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• External filters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality. Contact
your local Hestan Certified Service Representative for recommendations.
• Water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (NPT-F).
• A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve must be installed (see Fig. 30 on previous
page). A minimum of 1/4" nominal ID copper water tubing or equivalent is required for the
water supply line. Be sure there is sufficient extra water supply line for the unit to be pulled out
for service.
• Water supply pressure must be a minimum of 10 PSI [69 kPa] and a maximum of 113 PSI [779
kPa]. If the pressure exceeds 113 PSI [779 kPa], the use of a pressure reducing valve is required.
• Drain outlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (NPT-F). A minimum of 1/2" nominal ID hard pipe or
equivalent is required for the drain line. Installing a smaller diameter drain line will reduce water
flow and may lead to water leakage or flooding. Be sure there is sufficient extra drain line for
the unit to be pulled out for service.
• Drain line should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of 2
vertical inches [5 cm] must be between the end of the drain pipe from the ice machine and the
floor drain (see Fig. 30 on previous page).
• For gravity drain installation, drain must have 1/4" fall per foot [2 cm per 1 m] on horizontal runs
to get good flow. A vented tee connection is also required for proper flow. Extend the vent at
least 12" [30 cm] above the drain outlet (see Fig. 30 on previous page).
• For optional drain pump (AGDP) installation, refer to the instructions included with the pump.
FINAL CHECKLIST FINAL CHECKLIST
CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place
after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the ice storage bin.
1. Is the ice machine level?
2. Is the ice machine in a site where the ambient temperature is within 45 to 100°F [7 to 38°C] and
the water temperature within 45 to 95°F [7 to 35°C] all year around?
3. Have the shipping carton, tape, and packing material been removed from the ice machine?
Has the protective plastic film been removed from the panels?
4. Have all electrical and water connections been made? Do electrical and water connections meet
all national, state, and local code and regulation requirements?
5. Has the power supply voltage been checked or tested against the nameplate rating? Is the
power supply a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet?
6. Are the water supply and drain lines sized as specified? Are the water supply line shut-off valve
and drain valve installed? Has the water supply pressure been checked to ensure a minimum of
10 PSI [69 kPa] and a maximum of 113 PSI [779 kPa]?
7. Are all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews securely in place?
8. Has the end user been given this instruction manual, and instructed on how to operate the ice
machine and the importance of the recommended periodic maintenance?
9. Has the end user been given the name and telephone number of an authorized service agent?
10. Has the warranty tag been filled out and forwarded to the factory for warranty registration?
