access to condenser and/or water pressure valve, allow sufficient space at front of the machine. Be sure that
flooring is firm and even.

Water and Drainage

Water quality influences ice hardness, flavour, and quality as well as condenser life.
Keep in mind the following points:
a) WATER IMPURITIES: Major impurities are eliminated by filters provided. Filters should be cleaned
regularly depending on purity of water. For minor impurities we recommend installing a 5-micron filter
(Provided with the unit: Part # 207499).
b) WATER WITH MORE THAN 500 PPM: Ice will be less hard and tend to adhere. Lime deposits may
impede proper function. In water cooled models, condenser obstruction is likely. Installation of a high
quality water softener is recommended.
c) CHLORINATED WATER: Chlorine taste can be avoided by installing a carbon filter (Part # 207509).
(NOTE: You may encounter water with all aforementioned properties.)
d) PURIFIED WATER: A 10% reduction in overall production may occur.

Connecting Unit To Water Source

•Use 1.3 m. flexible tube (with two filters attached) provided. NOTE: We advise using a single faucet
fixture .
•Water pressure should be between 0.7 and 6 Kgs/cm2. (10/85 Psi.)
•If water pressure exceeds these values, installation of appropriate corrective units will be necessary.
•It is important that water tubing does not come close to or in contact with any heat sources or heat
generated by unit as this could decrease production.
Connecting Unit To Drain (Water Cooled Models)
•Drain must be located at least 150mm. below machine level. Drain tube must have an inner diameter of
30mm. with a minimum gradient of 3 cm per metre.

Electrical connection

• Unit is provided with a 1.5 m cord and Schucko socket.
