(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? (6,35 mm) soft
copper tubing with a shut-off valve.
? The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psig
and a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding into
the ice maker should be between 41ºF (5ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC) for proper operation.
? 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.
? The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance
with state and local codes.
? The ice maker and bin should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for
the ice maker to be perfectly level for proper operation; otherwise water may not flow
properly through the evaporator (ice mold). Ice production will be less than expected
and operation will be noisy.
? The feet of most bins can be rotated to adjust the height if necessary. Follow
instructions accompanying the bin you purchase.
