INSTALLATION1.1 SELECTINg A LOCATIONMake sure the location meets these requirements:• Access to a grounded 110 Volt, 20 AMP electrical outlet.• Convenient to an open drain with adequate room to route soda, water, and syrup lines.• Sufficient clearance above the dispenser for servicing.• Counter can support the weight of the dispenser, the weight of the ice, and if necessary, anicemaker. The total weight may exceed 800 pounds (363 kg).• Sufficient clearance on the sides, top and back for ventilation and air circulation. Refer to youricemaker for specifications.• If an icemaker is not top-mounted on the dispenser, make sure to provide sufficient clearance(a minimum of 16 inches (40.6 cm)) to allow filling the dispenser with ice from a five gallon(19 liter) container. See figure next page.• Avoid direct sunlight and other heat sources.1.2 THINgS TO CONSIDERUnit may be installed directly on the countertop or on legs. If installed directly on the counter,the unit must be sealed to the countertop. If an icemaker is to be mounted on top of dispenser,do not install dispenser on legs. NOTE: Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connectedto a potable water supply must be sized, installed, and maintained according to Federal, State,and Local laws.• The water supply must be protected by means of an air gap, a backflow prevention device(located prior to the CO2 injection system) or another approved method to comply with NSFstandards. A backflow prevention device must comply with ASSE and local standards. It is theresponsibility of the installer to ensure compliance.• Refer to specific icemaker model for proper air intake/exhaust ventilation with Lancer units.• Install the icemaker per manufacturer specifications. Points of consideration include drainage,ventilation, and drop zones.• An adapter plate is required when installing an icemaker. Contact your Sales Representativeor Lancer Customer Service for more information.• Ensure the icemaker is installed properly to allow for removal of the merchandiser.• Ensure manual fill is accessible.• Clean and maintain icemaker per manufacturer’s instructions.• When installing an icemaker on an IBD unit, a bin thermostat or other means of controllingthe ice level must be installed. Failure to do so could result in damage to the dispensingmechanism and void the warranty.• During the automatic agitation cycle and/or while dispensing ice, there must be adequateroom between the top of the ice level and the bottom of the icemaker so the ice can movewithout obstruction.• Contact your icemaker supplier for information on a proper bin thermostat.• Use of a water filtration system is recommended.• Water filtration system must be maintained and inspected periodically.• Location must ensure sufficient clearance on sides, top and back of unit for ventilation and aircirculation of the icemaker. Additionally, if an icemaker is not top-mounted on the unit,sufficient clearance should be provided (a minimum of 16 inches (40.6 cm) is recommended)to allow filling the unit with ice from a five gallon (19 liter) container.
