2. Level the Icemaker in both the left to right and front to
rear directions by means of the adjustable legs.
D. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
See data plate for current requirements to determine wire
size to be used for electrical connections. All icemakers
require a solid earth wire.
All ice machines are supplied from the factory completely
pre-wired and require only electrical power connections to
the wire cord provided at the rear of the unit.
Make sure that ice machine is connected to its own circuit
and individually fused (see data plate for fuse size).
The maximum allowable voltage variation should not
exceed -10% and +6% of the data plate rating. Low volt-
age can ucause faulty functioning and may be responsi-
ble for serious damage to overload switch and motor
windings.
NOTE
.
All external wiring should conform to national,
state and local standards and regulations.
Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s data plate
before connecting the unit.
E. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
GENERAL
When choosing the water supply for ice flaker considera-
tion should be given to:
a) Length of run
b) Water clarity and purity
c) Adequate water supply pressure
Since water is the most important single ingredient in pro-
ducing ice you cannot emphasize too much the three
items listed above.
Low water pressure, below 1 bar may cause malfunction
of the ice maker unit.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to produce
cloudy colored ice cubes, plus scale build-up on the iner-
ior parts of the water system.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect the 3/4” GAS male of the water inlet fitting, using
the food grade flexible tubing supplied with the machine,
to the cold water supply line with regular plumbing fitting
and a shut-off valve installed in an accessible position
between the water supply line with regular plumbing fitting
and a shut-off valve installed in an accessible position
between the water supply line and the unit.
If water contains a high level of impurities, it is advisable
to consider the installation of an appropriate water filter or
conditioner.
WATER DRAIN
Connect the drain fitting with a plastic tube to an open
trapped and vented drain. When the drain is a long run,
allow 3 cm pitch per meter (1/4” pitch per foot).
On water cooled versions, the water drain line from the
condenser is internally connected with the drain fitting of
the unit.
It is strongly recommended therefore to install a vertical
open vent on unit drain line high point to ensure good
draining and to direct the drain line to a trapped and vent-
ed floor drain receptacle
NOTE. The water supply and the water drain must be
installed to conform with the local code. In some case
a licensed plumber and/or a plumbing permit is
required.
