To ensure
proper
ventilation
for your ice maker,
the front
of the unit must be
completely
unobstructed.
Allow
at least
101 mm (4')
clearance
at rear, and 15 mm
(0.6')
at top and sides for proper
air circulation.
The installation
should
allow the ice
maker
to be pulled
forward
for servicing
if necessary.
-
When
installing
the ice maker
under
a counter,
follow
the recommended
spacing
dimensions
shown.
Place
electrical
and water
supplies
and drain fixtures
in the
recommended
locations
as shown.
-
Choose
a well-ventilated
area with temperatures
above
55°F (13°C)
and below
90°F
(32°C).
This unit MUST
be installed
in an area protected
from the elements,
such as
wind,
rain, water
spray
or drips.
-
The unit should
not be located
next to ovens,
grills or other
sources
of high heat.
-
Installation
of the ice maker
requires
a cold water
supply
inlet of 6.35 mm (1/4 in.)
soft copper
tubing
with a shut-off
valve
and a gravity-drain
system.
(NOTE:
Runoff
water
can also be drained
into a sink via a pump
- not included
-
when
a gravity
drain
is not available.)
-
The ice maker
requires
a continuous
water
supply
with a minimum
pressure
of 20
psig and a static pressure
not to exceed
80 psig.
The temperature
of the water
feeding
into the ice maker
should
be between
41°F (5°C) and 77°F (25°C)
for proper
operation.
Normal operating ambient temperature
should be between 55°F
(13°C) to 90°F (32°C). Normal operating water temperature
should be between 41°F (5°C) and 77°F (25°C). Operation of
the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal
temperature
ranges may affect production
capacity.
-
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the
proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles.
Where water is very
hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized
water is not recommended.
-
The ice maker must be installed with all electrical,
water and drain connections
in
accordance
with state and local codes.
-
The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice
maker to be leveled in order to work properly.
If needed, you can adjust the height of
the ice maker by revolving
the feet. See the "Leveling
the Ice Maker" section.
