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 40°C (110°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. 
 CAUTION 
The ice machine must be protected if it will be 
subjected to temperatures below 0°C (32°F). 
Failure caused by exposure to freezing 
temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See 
“Removal from Service/Winterization” on page 4-
8.

NOTE: The ice machine may be built into a cabinet. There 
is no minimum clearance requirement for the top or the 
left and right sides of the ice machine

 ** 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. 
Leveling the Ice Machine 
After moving the ice machine into the installation 
location, it must be leveled for proper operation. 
Follow these steps to level the ice machine: 
1.  Check the level of the ice machine from front to 
back and from side to side. 
Checking for Level 
2.  If the ice machine is not level, adjust the leveling 
glides on each corner of the base of the ice 
machine as necessary. 
3.  Check the level of the ice machine after each 
adjustment of the leveling glides. 
4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the ice machine is level 
from front to back and from side to side.
