• Shut-off valves and drain valves must be installed at both the condenser water supply inlet
and condenser return outlet.
• Minimum water flow to the condenser is 4 GPM.
• The pressure differential between the condenser water supply inlet and condenser return
outlet must be no less than 10 PSIG.
• When using a glycol blend, the solution mixture should be less than 30% glycol.
• In order to maintain the proper high side pressure, the condenser water supply inlet
temperature should not drop below 45°F (7°C) and the condenser return outlet
temperature must be in the 104°F to 115°F (40°C to 46°C) range. Once the icemaker
installation is complete, confirm the condenser return outlet temperature 5 minutes after a
freeze cycle starts. If the condenser return outlet temperature is not in the proper range,
use a flat blade screwdriver to rotate the adjustment screw on the water-regulating valve
until the temperature is in the proper range (rotate counterclockwise to raise temperature
or clockwise to lower temperature).

Be sure there is sufficient
extra water supply line and
drain line for the appliance
to be pulled out for service.
Separate piping to approved
drain. Leave a 2" (5-cm)
vertical air gap between the
end of each pipe and the
drain.
