ICE Series Installation Guidelines

Installation Guidelines
For proper operation of the Ice-O-Matic ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. Failure to
do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failures, and may void all warranties.
Reference the installation parameters prior to installing the machine:
Ambient Operating Temperatures
Minimum Operating Temperature: 50°F (10°C)
Maximum Operating Temperature 100°F (38°C), 110°F (43°C) on 50 Hz. Models.
Note: Ice-O-Matic icemakers and dispensers are not approved for outdoor installation.
Incoming Water Supply (See Electrical and Plumbing Diagrams for line sizing)
Minimum incoming water temperature: 40°F (4.5°C)
Maximum incoming water temperature: 100°F (38°C)
Minimum incoming water pressure: 20 psi (1.4 bar)
Maximum incoming water pressure: 60 psi (4.1 bar)
Note: If water pressure exceeds 60 psi (4.1 bar), a water pressure regulator must be installed.
Drains
All drain lines must be installed per local codes. Flexible tubing is not recommended. Route bin drain, purge drain and
water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The use of condensate pumps for draining water is not
recommended by Ice-O-Matic. Ice-O-Matic assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment.
Note: The purge drain fitting is plastic; DO NOT apply heat to the purge drain area; DO NOT overtighten.
Water Filtration
A water filter system should be installed with the ice machine.
Clearance Requirements
Self-contained air cooled ice machines must have a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the rear, top, and
sides of the ice machine for proper air circulation.
Stacking
If the ice machines are to be stacked, refer to the instructions in the stacking kit. Ice-O-Matic does not endorse
stacking air-cooled ice machines.
Dispenser Application
A thermostatic bin control kit should be installed if the ICE Series ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin top may
or may not be required. (Exception is the CD400 Series Dispenser)
Electrical Specifications
Refer to the serial plate at the rear of the ice machine to make sure proper voltage and circuit breaker size have been
supplied. Make sure the machine is on a dedicated circuit. European installations require that the electrical supply
fixed wiring must be provided with a disconnect means having a separation of at least 3mm in all poles. The ice
machines are provided without
an electrical cord set and are designed and agency approved to be permanently
connected.
The 115 volt Undercounter series ice makers are supplied with an electrical cord, all other ice makers will
need to be installed and wired per local electrical codes.
Caution: Electrical connection must be made or a cord installed by a qualified electrician
or there is danger of an
electrical fire.
Adjustments
Level the machine within 1/8 inch in all directions.
Check the bin control for proper adjustment.
Check the water in the water trough for proper level.
Check the ice bridge for proper thickness.
Check the water regulating valve adjustment if water cooled.
