Location Requirements
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES:
TOP VIEW SIDE VIEW
• To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Allow more than 4” clearance at rear, 0.6” at top and sides for proper air
circulation. The installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if
necessary.
• When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions
shown. Place electrical and water supplies and drain fixtures in the recommended locations as
shown.
• Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF (10ºC) and below 100ºF (38ºC).
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water
spray or drips.
• The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 1/4 in. soft copper tubing
with a shut-off valve and a gravity-drain system.
• The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 20 psig and a
static pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice
maker should be between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C) for proper operation.
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 50ºF
(10ºC) to 100ºF (38ºC). Normal operating water temperature
should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC). Operation of
the ice maker for extended periods outside of these normal
temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
• In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type,
can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may
result in white, mushy cubes that stick together.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance
with state and local codes.
• The unit should be located on a firm and leve urface. It is important for the ice maker to be
leveled in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by
revolving the feet. See the “Leveling the Ice Maker” section
