ASSEMBLY
Unpacking
Unpacking a KOLD-DRAFT machine can be done by prying off the boards that are holding the
cardboard box to the shipping pallet. The box can then be lifted vertically to expose the machine.
Tools to complete this job would include a claw hammer or some other form of pry-bar.
Assembly Procedure
1. Remove the ice machine front-cover panel, top-cover panel and side-cover panels from the
ice machine frame.
2. Remove all shipping materials from the ice machine. Cut off the water plate shipping strap.
3. For proper operation the ice machine and ice bin must be on a level surface. If the surface the
ice bin will be installed on is not level use shims or the adjusters on the ice bin legs to bring
the machine to level. If shims were used, seal the bin to the floor using a sealant with NSF
certification. If there are gaps larger than 1/8” (3mm) install a cove molding around the bottom
of the bin to reduce the gap and seal the cove molding to the floor with the approved sealant.
4. Confirm that the following holes are installed in the bin top: a hole corresponding to the ice
drop zone, drain pan outlet, bin level probe and the threaded mounting holes for the supplied
bolts at the four corners of the machine. The hole for the drain pan outlet should be 2”(5cm) in
diameter to allow sufficient access for the clamp. Drain hoses for drain pan outlets in GT36x,
GT56xA, GB56x and the lower halves of GB106x models get directed through the back of the
ice bin. Drain hoses for drain pan outlets in GT56xL and the upper halves of GB106x models
get directed through pre-cut holes in the back of the ice machine frames. Drain pans should
never be allowed to drain directly into the ice bin. After installation, seal around the drain tube
where it leaves the machine.
Note: All KOLD-DRAFT bins will have a provision for the drain pan outlet tube to exit the rear
of the bin. Ice machines that will be used on bins not manufactured by KOLD-DRAFT will
require a drain riser adapter made by KOLD-DRAFT to allow sufficient clearance for the drain
pan outlet tube to exit the back of the assembly.
5. Install gasketing on top of bin if not already installed. Gasket material must be positioned so
that it extends to the outside edge of the perimeter of the ice maker chassis when the ice-
maker is in place. To apply the gasket, peel away the white backing strip and press firmly in
place.
6. Carefully lift the ice machine and position it on the ice storage bin. Securely attach the ice
machine to the ice storage bin with the supplied washers and bolts or other non-corroding
hardware if not installed on a KOLD-DRAFT bin. If the ice machine is installed on an installed
with an accessory such as a crusher, follow the installation instructions with the other
equipment.
