This machine takes in room temperature air at the lower
right front and forces warm air out the lower left front.
Restricting the airflow or operating the machine in a hot
or cold environment will adversely affect the ability of the
ice machine to make ice.
When the door is opened, the control panel, ice making
area and ice storage bin are visible. The scoop is located
in a holder on the inside of the door.
This is a gravity drain model that must have a building
drain connection below the level of the drain tube at the
back of the cabinet. A pump can be installed, which can
force drain water up a maximum of 8 feet, allowing it
to be located where a gravity drain isn't available. See

ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND

This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in a
controlled environment.

system and the ice storage system. The ice making
system makes ice when the ice level becomes low
and stops when it is full.
The ice storage system is an insulated chest
ZLWKDGUDLQDWWKHERWWRPIRUPHOWLQJLFH,WLVQRW
refrigerated, insuring that the bin contains fresh ice.
IMPORTANT: Never keep anything in the ice storage
bin that is not ice. Objects like wine or beer bottles are
not only unsanitary, but the labels can slip off and plug
up the drain.
IMPORTANT: Never allow the machine to operate
without regular cleaning. The machine will last longer
if it is kept clean. Regular cleaning should happen
twice per year. Some water conditions will dictate
even more frequent cleaning of the ice making
section, and some carpets or pets will dictate more
frequent cleaning of the condenser.
Specifications
The ice machine will operate adequately within the
limits, but functions best in temperatures between
60°F and 80°F.

Utility and Operational Requirements
• This ice machine must be connected to a potable
water supply.
All water, including potable water supplied by
municipalities, contains some impurities or minerals.
Water absorbs impurities from the air as rain and/or
as it flows through the ground. Some of the impurities
are solid particles. These are known as suspended
solids, and a fine particle filter will remove them.
Other impurities are chemically bonded to the water
molecules and cannot be filtered out. These are
called dissolved solids.

impurities of the ice machine water reservoir where
they may form hard deposits known as scale. The
machine dilutes the concentration of minerals by
over-filling the reservoir during the harvest cycle (with
the excess water flowing down the drain). Water use
varies with air and water temperatures.
Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick
to the parts in the machine. This will cause malformed
ice cubes. Eventually, built up mineral scale can
shorten machine life.
To keep the machine operating properly, these
impurities or minerals will have to be regularly

This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis
water, but the water conductivity must be no less
than 10 microSiemens/cm. A reverse osmosis system

Because water softeners exchange one mineral

A water supply is required. Water supplies vary in the
degree of mineral content. High mineral content water
will require more frequent maintenance. Water filtration
may improve the taste of the ice as well as cut down on

NOTICE Restrictions in the drain
system to the machine will cause water to back
up into the ice storage bin and melt the ice.
Gravity drain tubing must be vented, have no
kinks, and slope to the building drain. Air gaps
are typically required by local codes.

installation opening. Adjust leveling legs to the
appropriate height.
2. Remove the left side (when facing the product)
access panel to the drain connection.
3. Remove the plastic cover/ plug in the base pan
of the unit.
4. Remove the clamp and rotate the barbed
elbow on the drain tube so it will drain
through the base pan and into the floor drain.
Re-secure the clamp.
