4 Part Number 00000xxxx 05/10Section 2Installation InstructionsLocation of Ice MachineThe location selected for the ice machine must meet thefollowing 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 othercontaminants.• The air temperature must be at least 10°C (50°F), butmust not exceed 40°C (110°F).• The location must not be near heat-generatingequipment or in direct sunlight.• The location must be capable of supporting theweight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.• The location must allow enough clearance for water,drain and electrical connections in the rear of the icemachine.• The location must not obstruct airflow through oraround the ice machine (condenser airflow is in andout the front). Refer to the chart below for clearancerequirements.NOTE: The ice machine may be built into a cabinet.There is no minimum clearance requirement for the topor left and right sides of the ice machine. The listedvalues are recommended for efficient operation andservicing only.Ice Machine Heat of Rejection* B.T.U./Hour** Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice makingcycle, the figure shown is an average.Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, rejectheat through the condenser. It is helpful to know theamount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizingair conditioning equipment where self-contained air-cooled ice machines are installed.Leveling the Ice MachineAfter moving the ice machine into the installationlocation, it must be leveled for proper operation. Followthese steps to level the ice machine:1. Check the level of the ice machine from front to backand from side to side.2. If the ice machine is not level, adjust the levelingglides on each corner of the base of the ice machineas necessary.Leveling Glide3. Check the level of the ice machine after eachadjustment of the leveling glides.4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the ice machine is levelfrom front to back and from side to side.Self-Contained Air-CooledTop/Sides 5" (127 mm)*Back 5" (127 mm)*! CautionThe ice machine must be protected if it will besubjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C).Failure caused by exposure to freezingtemperatures is not covered by the warranty.
