Utility and Operational Requirements
• This ice machine must be connected to a potable water
supply.
• The water supply must have a conductivity of at least 10
microSiemens/cm.
The water to this ice machine must be potable, or fit for
human consumption. During ice making some 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. We recommend using a GE Water
Filter on your water inlet line such as GE Model Number
GXRLQ. Please go to www.geappliances.com to review
the installation instructions and determine which filter
will suit your application. In Canada visit
www.GEAppliances.ca.
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.
Deionized water is not recommended and could 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: 20 psi
• Maximum water pressure: 80 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
50°F and a maximum air temperature of 100°F.
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: Ice making capacity goes down as the
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.

ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND
PREPARATION (Cont.)
This machine can be built into a cabinet. It is an 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.
