Operating the machine outside of the above
limitations, or outdoors, is potentially damaging to
the machine; also it is misuse of the machine,
which may void the warranty.

Water Limitations
An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it
takes a raw material, water, and turns it into a food
product, ice. The purity of the water is very
important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing
product life. This section is not intended as a
complete resource for water questions, but it does
offer these general recommendations:
1. Filter the water used to produce ice. That is the
water going to the “potable” water connection.
Water filters vary greatly in ability and function.
Install one that filters out suspended solids to a
dimension of 5 microns or smaller. The finer the
filter the better, but finer filters will clog sooner than
course ones. It may be necessary to add a course
filter ahead of the fine filter to prolong filter life.
2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a
water test, and recommendations regarding filters
and treatment.
Service Limitations
Do not install in a location where the top of the
machine is within 6" of a fixed ceiling. Do not install
air cooled models in a location where there is less
than 6" clearance to the left and right of the
cabinet.
