FOR THE INSTALLER: Environmental Limitations
Location
After uncrating the machine, and inspecting it for
freight damage, the unit is ready for installation.
It is important that the machine be installed in a
location where it has enough space for service
access. The unit will require removal of the top
panel for some service, so in under counter
applications, the unit will either have to be pulled
out, or the countertop will have to be removable.
Utility installation needs some space at the back of
the cabinet, the minimum is 6 inches.
On air cooled models, the air flow must be given
consideration: the unit takes in air from the front,
and exhausts it through the left and back panels.
These areas require at least 6 inches of air space
to exhaust the hot air.

Water Limitations
An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it
takes a raw material, water, and turns it into a food
product, ice. The purity of the water is very
important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing
product life. This section is not intended as a
complete resource for water questions, but it does
offer these general recommendations:
1. Filter the water used to produce ice. That is the
water going to the "potable" water connection.
Water filters vary greatly in ability and function.
Install one that filters out suspended solids to a
dimension of 5 microns or smaller. The finer the
filter the better, but finer filters will clog sooner than
course ones. It may be necessary to add a course
filter ahead of the fine filter to prolong filter life.
2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a
water test, and recommendations regarding filters
and treatment.

Legs
The legs (when used) may now
be installed. Either use a
mechanical lift to hoist the cabinet
high enough to screw in the legs,
or carefully lay the unit on its back
(using portions of the carton to
protect the back panel) and screw
the legs in. Note: the legs must be
threaded in all the way for
maximum strength.
