Installation Instructions

Location of Ice Machine

The location selected for the ice machine must meet
the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not
met, select another location.
• The location must be indoors.
• The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.
• The air temperature must be at least 10°C (50°F),
but must not exceed 45°C (113°F).
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The counter top (or other resting surface) must be
able to support 425 kg per square meter (0.6 lb.
per square inch).
• The location must allow enough clearance for
water, drain, and electrical connections in the
rear of the ice machine.
• The location must not obstruct air flow to any
portion of the front of the ice machine.
The ice machine must be protected if it will be
subjected to temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
Failure caused by
temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See

Ice Machine Heat of Rejection

* B.T.U./Hour
** Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle, the
figure shown is an average.
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment,
reject heat through the condenser. It is helpful to
know the amount of heat rejected by the ice machine
when sizing air conditioning equipment where self-
contained air-cooled ice machines are installed.
