Location of Ice Machine

The location selected for the ice machine must meet the
following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met,
select another location.
• The location must be indoors.
• The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.
• The air temperature must be at least 10°C (50°F), but
must not exceed 40°C (110°F).
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The location must be capable of supporting the
weight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.
• The location must allow enough clearance for water,
drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice
machine.
• The location must not obstruct airflow through or
around the ice machine (condenser airflow is in and
out the front). Refer to the chart below for clearance
requirements.

NOTE: The ice machine may be built into a cabinet.
There is no minimum clearance requirement for the top
or left and right sides of the ice machine. The listed
values are recommended for efficient operation and
servicing only.
! Caution
The ice machine must be protected if it will be
subjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Failure caused by
temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See

Ice Machine Heat of Rejection

B.T.U./Hour
*
Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making
**
cycle, the figure shown is an average.
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject
heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the
amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing
air conditioning equipment where self-contained air-
cooled ice machines are installed.

Leveling the Ice Machine

After moving the ice machine into the installation
location, it must be leveled for proper operation. Follow
these steps to level the ice machine:
1. Check the level of the ice machine from front to back
and from side to side.
2. If the ice machine is not level, adjust the leveling
glides on each corner of the base of the ice machine
as necessary.

3. Check the level of the ice machine after each
adjustment of the leveling glides.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the ice machine is level
from front to back and from side to side.
