Section 2 Installation Instructions
Part Number 000001114 2-15
GENERAL
Condensers must be mounted horizontally with the fan
motor on top.
Remote condenser installations consist of vertical and
horizontal line sets between the ice machine and the
condenser. When combined, they must fit within
approved specifications. The following guidelines,
drawings and calculation methods must be followed to
verify a proper remote condenser installation.
GUIDELINES FOR ROUTING LINE SETS
First, cut a 2.5" (63.5 mm) circular hole in the wall or roof
for tubing routing. The line set end with the 90° bend will
connect to the ice machine. The straight end will connect
to the remote condenser.
Follow these guidelines when routing the refrigerant
lines. This will help insure proper performance and
service accessibility.
1. Optional - Make the service loop in the line sets (See
below). This permits easy access to the ice machine
for cleaning and service. Do not use hard rigid
copper at this location.
2. Required - Do not form traps in the refrigeration lines
(except the service loop). Refrigerant oil must be
free to drain toward the ice machine or the
condenser. Route excess tubing in a supported
downward horizontal spiral (See below). Do not coil
tubing vertically.
3. Required - Keep outdoor refrigerant line runs as
short as possible.

Caution
The 60 month compressor warranty (including the
36 month labor replacement warranty) will not apply
if the remote ice machine is not installed according
to specifications.
This warranty also will not apply if the refrigeration

device, or other parts or assemblies not
manufactured by Manitowoc Ice, Inc., unless
specifically approved in writing by Manitowoc Ice,
Inc.
