ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND PREPARATION (Cont.)
Utility and Operational Requirements
• This ice machine must be connected to a potable
water supply.
The water to this ice machine must be potable, or
minerals will stick to the ice making components. The
higher the mineral content, the more mineral build up
will occur. Water filters are a partial help, as they will
remove the suspended solids, but water treatment is
needed for the dissolved solids, which are part of the
water and cannot be filtered out.
This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis
water, but the water conductivity must be no less
than 10 microSiemens/cm. A reverse osmosis system
should include post treatment or blending to satisfy
the R.O. water's potential aggressiveness.
damage the machine.
Because water softeners exchange one mineral
for another, softened water may not improve water
conditions when used with ice machines.
• Minimum water pressure: 30 psi
• Maximum water pressure: 120 psi
• Minimum water temperature: 40°F
• Maximum water temperature: 90°F.
This ice machine is designed to operate in a wide
range of air temperatures with a minimum air
temperature of 55°F and a maximum air temperature
of 100°F.

Installation Instructions
Although the machine will function within the listed
ranges, it works best at water temperatures between
50°F and 60°F and air temperatures between 60°F
and 80°F.
NOTE:
environmental temperatures go up, and will be
severely reduced at temperatures over 90°F.
Operating a unit outside of the limits can cause
problems that are not covered by the warranty and, if
extreme, cause damage to the unit.
air cooled refrigeration system. Air flows in and out
of it through the grill at the bottom front. The grille
must not be blocked by any covering door, or other
obstruction.
