Page 4: The Effect Of Seawater And Fresh Water Temperatures
INTRODUCTION Eskimo Ice Installation Manual Remote System The Effect of Seawater and Fresh Water Temperatures Seawater and freshwater temperatures affect the ice machine’s efficiency and capacity. The system is most efficient when the seawater and fresh water temperatures are 55-80°F (13-27°C). The ideal temperature for both is 70°F (21.1°C). High Temperatures - As water temperatures approach 90°F (32°C) and above, the water’s ability to absorb heat diminishes, so the capacity of the system decreases. -

ONDENSER Never install the unit in the bow of the boat. Dometic ice-making units are designed to be installed in any convenient location on the transom, in the aft, or in a machinery space that does not require ignition protection that is as far aft of midship as possible. -

Page 7: Installing Ice-Delivery Hose
Eskimo Ice Installation Manual Remote System INSTALLATION PROCEDURES The auger unit has an elbow on the top-right side where the ice exits. The elbow rotates 360 degrees to accommodate any direction of the hose to the ice box. Make sure the elbow is oriented upward so water can re-enter the auger barrel instead of flowing to the ice box. -
Page 8: Installing The Ice-Level Sensor
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation Manual Remote System NSTALLING THE EVEL ENSOR To prevent overflow, this sensor stops ice production when the ice in the storage box reaches the level of the sensor. Use Figure 2 below to determine placement for the ice-level sensor at the storage box location. The sensor must be located below and to the side of the ice-delivery hole. -
Page 9: Requirements
Eventually, built-up scale will shorten machine life. A filter must always be used, preferably one supplied by Dometic for use with ice makers. Replace the filter at least twice yearly, or more often if the machine is used frequently. While filters help clean the water, a yearly cleaning of the evaporator barrel is required. -
Page 10: Thru-Hull Inlet Fitting
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation Manual Remote System Figure 3: Seawater Piping Recommendations Thru-Hull Inlet Fitting A separate thru-hull fitting must be installed for each seawater pump. Do not attempt to draw water from the thru-hull fitting of an engine, generator, or other device. Install a scoop-type thru-hull fitting: Drill a properly sized hole for the thru-hull fitting as far below the water line and as close to the keel as possible. -
Page 11: Strainer
Run appropriate seawater piping from the seacock to the strainer, and use threaded-seal tape on pipe threads. Seawater Pump Required Flow Rate The Dometic EI600D ice maker requires 2.5 GPM (150 GPH) and the EI250D requires 1.25 GPM (75 GPH) of seawater flow for rated performance. Centrifugal Pumps Centrifugal pumps are not self-priming, and must be mounted so they are below the heeled waterline in any given operating condition. -

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation Manual Remote System Figure 5: Seawater Manifold Orientation Pump Relay The pump relay (if needed) is generally located in the engine room or mechanical space near the seawater pump, but can be mounted anywhere that is convenient and accessible. It must be in a dry location, away from water spray, with some room for heat dissipation. -

Page 16: Charging The System
OWNER MAINTENANCE Eskimo Ice Installation Manual Remote System Charging the System Remove line from vacuum pump and connect to a bottle of R-134a. The charge should be weighted in by placing the bottle on a refrigerant scale. Turn the bottle upside down and purge the charge hose at the gauge set. Allow refrigerant to flow in the high side until the correct charge is reached. -
