Water Supply And Drain Connections; Icemaker - Hoshizaki KM-61BAH Instruction Manual

F. Water Supply and Drain Connections
Water supply and drain connections must be installed in accordance with applicable
national, state, and local regulations.
• Normal operating water temperature should be within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C).
Operation of the appliance, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature
range may affect appliance performance.
• Water supply pressure must be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG.
If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required.
• To prevent damage to the appliance, do not operate the appliance when the water
supply is off, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG. Do not run the appliance until the
proper water pressure is reached.
• External fi lters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality.
Contact your local Hoshizaki Certified Service Representative or local Hoshizaki
distributor for recommendations.
• A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.
• The icemaker drain line and water-cooled condenser drain line (if applicable) must be run
separately.
• For gravity drain installation, drain lines must have 1/4" fall per foot (2 cm per 1 m) on
horizontal runs to get good fl ow. A vented tee connection is also required for proper fl ow.
• For optional drain pump installation, refer to the instructions included with the pump.
• Drain lines should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of
2 vertical inches (5 cm) should be between the end of the drain pipes from the icemaker
and condensation drain, dispenser unit/ice storage bin, and water-cooled condenser (if
