II. Installation and Operating Instructions 1. Checks Before Installation 1. Remove shipping cartons, tape(s) and packing. If any are left in the icemaker, it will not work properly. 2. Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place. 1) Remove the top panel and the front panel to prevent damage when installing the icemaker.
2. Location This icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient temperature should be within +45°F (7°C) to +100°F (38°C); Normal operating water temperature should be within +45°F (7°C) to +90°F (32°C). Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
4. Water Supply and Drain Connections See Fig. 1 To prevent damage to the equipment, do not operate the icemaker when the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG (0.7 bar). Do not run the icemaker until the proper water pressure is reached. •...
5. Final Check List 1) Is the icemaker level? 2) Is the icemaker in a site where the ambient temperature is within +45°F (7°C) to +100°F (38°C) and the water temperature within +45°F (7°C) to +90°F (32°C) all year around? 3) Is there at least 6"...
6. Startup 1. All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may result in failure. 2. If the unit is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor. 1) Open the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Remove the front panel.
7. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water line and remove the ice from the storage bin. The storage bin should be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker, using air or carbon dioxide, to prevent damage to the water supply line at sub-freezing temperatures.
