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 free of airborne and other 
contaminants.
• The air temperature must be at least 35°F (1.6°C), 
but must not exceed 110°F (43.4°C).
• The location must not be near heat-generating 
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The location must not obstruct air flow through or 
around the ice machine. Refer to the chart below for 
clearance requirements.
Stacking Two Ice Machines on a Single 
Storage Bin
A stacking kit is required for stacking two ice machines. 
Installation instructions are supplied with the stacking kit.
Ice Machine Heat of Rejection
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.
This information is also necessary when evaluating the 
benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to 
reduce air conditioning loads. The amount of heat added 
to an air conditioned environment by an ice machine 
using a water-cooled or remote condenser is negligible.
Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important 
when sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled 
condenser. Use the peak figure for sizing the cooling 
tower.

Caution
The ice machine must be protected if it will be
subjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Failure caused by exposure to freezing
temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See
“Removal from Service/Winterization” on Page 3-
14.
