OUTDOOR USE
Keep from freezing. Severe damage will occur to the unit if left in or operated in temperatures beyond the limits listed
in this manual. That damage is NOT covered by warranty.
Keep dry. Do not locate in low lying areas where puddles will accumulate.
Provide Shade: Heat gain from the sun will reduce the unit’s ability to make and store ice, and ultraviolet radiation from
the sun can potentially damage the unit’s plastic components.
Water Supply: Avoid a long run of hose or tubing exposed to the sun. Plastic water supply tubing should be rated for
potable water and include UV protection. Copper tubing is recommended.
Back Flow Prevention: The unit includes back flow prevention, no additional check valve is required.
Drainage: Do Not drain into swimming pool or onto grounds.
WATER QUALITY
The water to the machine must be potable, or fit for human consumption. Beyond that, water supplies vary in the
degree of mineral content. As this ice machine makes ice, all the water that flows into the machine is changed into ice.
That includes any minerals that might be in the water. However, during ice making some minerals will stick to the ice
making components. The higher the mineral content, the more mineral build up will occur. Water
filters are a partial help, as they will remove the suspended solids, but water treatment is needed for the dissolved
solids, which are part of the water and cannot be filtered out.
RO Water
This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no less than 10
microSiemens/cm. A reverse osmosis system should include post treatment or blending to satisfy the R.O. water’s
potential aggressiveness.
Deionized water is not recommended and could damage the machine.
Because water softeners exchange one mineral for another, softened water may not improve water conditions when
used with ice machines
Using Your Ice Machine (con’t)
Maintenance
We strongly recommend regular maintenance of this ice machine. During normal operation mineral scale that is in the
water supply will gradually build up on the ice making surfaces. That build up can cause excessive loading of the ice
making system, which can cause premature failure. Regular removal of the mineral scale will lengthen the product’s life.
Suggested maintenance schedule: every 6 months.
Type of maintenance: Scale removal, water seal check, water reservoir check, bin drain check, air cooled condenser
cleaning and storage bin sanitation.
