Electrical Connections; Water Supply And Drain Connections - Ice-O-Matic UCG 45 Installation And Service Manual

b. Minimum water inlet temperature of 40˚F (5˚C) and maximum water inlet
temperature of 90˚F (35˚C).
c. Well ventilated location.
d. Service access: adequate space must be left for all service connections through the
rear of the ice maker. A minimum clearance of 6" (15cm) must be left at the sides of
the unit for routing air drawn into and exhausted out of the compartment to maintain
proper condensing operation.
2. Level the unit in both the left to right and front to rear directions.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
See data plate for current requirements to determine wire size to be used for electrical connections.
All Ice‐O‐Matic ice makers require a solid earth wire. They are supplied from the factory completely
pre‐wired and require only electrical power connections to the wire cord provided at the rear of the
unit. Make sure the ice maker is connected to its own circuit and individually fused (see data plate
for fuse size). The maximum allowable voltage variation should not exceed ‐10% and +10% of the
data plate rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning and may be responsible for serious damage
to the overload switch and motor windings. Check voltage on the line and the ice maker's data plate
before connecting the unit.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS
GENERAL
When choosing the water supply for the ice maker consideration should be given to:
a. Length of run
b. Water clarity and purity
c. Adequate water supply pressure
Since water is the most important single ingredient in producing ice, the three items listed above are
extremely significant. Low water pressure, below 14 psi (1 bar), may cause malfunction of the ice
maker. Water containing excessive minerals will tend to produce cloudy ice cubes, in addition to scale
build‐up on parts of the water system.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect the ¾" male fitting of the solenoid water inlet valve, using the flexible tube supplied, to the
cold‐water supply line with regular plumbing fitting and a shut‐off valve installed in an accessible
position between the water supply line and the unit. If water contains a high level of impurities, it is
advisable to consider the use of an appropriate water filter.
NOTE: All external wiring should conform to national,
state, and local standards and regulations.
