Installation
1.- LOCATION OF ICE MACHINE
This ice maker is not designed for outdoor operation. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat
producing equipment.
The machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 41ºF (5ºC) and 109.4ºF (43ºC). There may be some
difficulties in ice slab removal under the minimum temperatures. Above the maximum temperature, the life of the compressor is
shortened, and the production is substantially lower.
The air cooled (undercounter) ice makers take the air through the front section, and drive it off through the back and front louvers
due to their new oblique condenser structure and placement. Do not place anything on the top of ice maker or facing the front
grille. In case the front grille is either total or partially obstructed, or due to its placement it receives hot air from another device, we
recommend, in case it is not possible to change the location, to install a water-cooled machine.
The air cooled (modular) ice makers take the air through the back section and drive it off through the two lateral louvers. In the
case it is not possible to respect the minimum distances recommended (see the picture in point 3) for these machines we
recommend installing a water-cooled unit.
The location must allow enough clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine. It is important
that the water inlet piping do not pass near sources of heat so as not to lose ice production.
2.- LEVELING THE ICE MACHINE
Use a level on top of ice machine in order to ensure the equipment is perfectly levelled.
Only for (undercounter) machines:
Screw the levelling legs onto the bottom of the ice machine as far as possible.
Move the machine into its final position.
Use a level on top of the ice machine. Turn each foot as necessary to level the ice machine from front to back and side to side.
NOTE: An optional 3 1/2’’ (90mm) caster assembly is available for use in place of the legs. Installation instructions are supplied with
the casters.

3.-MINIMUM DISTANCE TO OBSTACLES
The minimum clearance values you can see below are recommended for efficient operation and servicing.
UNDERCOUNTER MODELS MODULAR MODELS
4.-CONNECTION DIAGRAMS
The location must allow enough clearance for water drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine.
UNDERCOUNTER MODELS MODULAR MODELS
5.-WATER SUPPLY
The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and ultimately on the life of
the product (mainly in water cooled units). It also will have a remarkable influence on the appearance, hardness and flavour of the
ice.
Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, improve taste and clarity. If you are installing a
water filter system, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the filter system.
Use a flexible food grade hose.
Pressure should be between 14 and 85 psi (0,1 MPa and 0,6 MPa or 1 and 6 bar). If pressure overpasses such values, install a
pressure regulator.
The water connection needs to be dedicated (only piece of equipment hooked to the water line). Water line from the water valve to
the ice machine needs to be ¼” nominal ID tubing.
ATTENTION: This equipment is to be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local
codes.

7
6.-DRAINAGE
Drainage should be located below the level of the machine, at 5,9’’ (150 mm) minimum.
It is convenient that the drainage pipe is 1,18’’ (30 mm) inside diameter and with a minimum gradient of 0,36’’/ft (3 cm/ meter), see
figure.
CORRECT INCORRECT
INCORRECT
7.-ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
IT IS MANDATORY TO GROUND THE EQUIPMENT: To avoid possible discharges on individuals or damages to the equipment,
the machine should be grounded following local and/or national regulations as needed. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL BE HELD
HARMLESS IN CASE OF DAMAGES ARISING DUE TO THE LACK OF THE GROUND INSTALLATION.
In case the supply cable is damaged, it should be replaced by a cable of special assembly to be furnished by the manufacturer or
after-sales service. Such replacement should be performed by qualified technical service only. The machine should be placed in
such a way that allows a minimum space between the back and the wall to allow an easy access and without risks to the cable plug.
Mind the socket. It is convenient to install adequate switches and circuit breakers.
Voltage is indicated in the nameplate. Variation on voltage above the 10% stated on the nameplate could result on damages or
prevent the machine start-up.
In case the ice maker is not fitted with a SUPPLY CORD and a plug, or with other means for disconnection from the supply mains
having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, then means for
disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
ATTENTION: The appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the nameplate for electrical
specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to
existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat
8.-INSTALLATION OF MODULAR EQUIPMENTS ON TOP OF BINS
Modular ice makers should be installed on top of bins, following the instructions contained in this manual.
The resistance and stability of the container-machine/s assembly should be verified, as well as the fastening elements. Follow bin
manufacturer instructions.

3.- Sequence of Operation
•Initial Start-up: The first time the machine is started there is a delay of 30“ in the power on sequence, it begins with the harvest
sequence to ensure the water tray is filled. Before the compressor starts, there is a pressure relief to ensure a soft start-up.
•Freeze sequence: The compressor is energized. The freezing time is a programmed time, can be adjusted following the
previous table. The water circulates from the water tray to the upper distributor, flowing through each cube cell, where it freezes.
•Harvest sequence: The hot gas valve is opened and at the same time energizes the water inlet valve during a certain time to fill
the water tray with the appropriate quantity of water. The ice slab slides off the evaporator and falls into the bin. Curtain opening
finishes harvest step. After this, the freeze sequence starts again.
•When storage bin is full, the ice slab cannot fall down and curtains remains opened. The machine shuts off until enough ice has
been removed from the storage bin and the curtain close again.
Maintenance and Cleaning Procedures
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition.
Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolve
mineral build up that forms during the ice making process.
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine is cleaned and sanitized.
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized at least twice a year.
CAUTION: Do not mix Ice Machine Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions together.
WARNING: Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles when handling Ice Machine Cleaner or Sanitizer.
WARNING: Unit should always be disconnected during maintenance/cleaning procedures.

Instalación
(1) LOCALIZACIÓN DE LA MÁQUINA
Esta máquina de hielo no está diseñada para funcionar en el exterior. Esta no debería estar situada cerca de hornos, parrillas u
otro equipamiento que genere mucho calor.
Las máquinas están previstas para funcionar con una temperatura ambiente entre 41ºF (5ºC) y 109.4ºF (43ºC). Por debajo de las
temperaturas mínimas puede haber dificultades en el despegue de los cubitos. Por encima de las temperaturas máximas la vida del
compresor se acorta y la producción disminuye considerablemente.
Los modelos (compactos) condensados por aire, toman éste por la parte delantera y lo expulsan por las rejillas laterales, trasera y
también delantera gracias a su nueva estructura y colocación del condensador de forma oblicua. No colocar nada sobre el
fabricador ni frente a la rejilla delantera. Si la toma de aire delantera es insuficiente, la salida queda obstruida total o
parcialmente, o si por su colocación va a recibir aire caliente de otro aparato, aconsejamos encarecidamente, en caso de no poder
cambiar el emplazamiento de la máquina, instalar una condensada por agua.
Los modelos (modulares) condensados por aire toman el aire a través de la parte trasera de la máquina y dirigen este a través de
las rejillas laterales. En el caso de que no sea posible respetar las distancias mínimas recomendadas (ver la figura del punto 3)
para estos modelos recomendamos instalar una refrigerada por agua.
La localización debe dejar espacio suficiente para las conexiones de agua, desagüe y eléctricas en la parte trasera de la máquina
de hielo. Es importante que la tubería de acometida de agua no pase cerca de fuentes de calor para no perder producción.
(2) NIVELAR LA MÁQUINA DE HIELO
Utilizar un nivel sobre la máquina para asegurar que el equipo está perfectamente nivelado.
Solo para modelos (compactos):
Roscar las patas niveladoras en la parte inferior de la máquina todo lo posible. Mover la máquina a su posición final.
Usar un nivel encima de la máquina. Girar cada pie lo necesario para nivelar la máquina de adelante a atrás y de izquierda a
derecha.
NOTA: Existe como opción un kit de ruedas de 3 1/2’’ (90mm) de alto para utilizar en lugar de las patas. Las instrucciones de
instalación se suministran junto con las ruedas.

(5) CONEXIÓN A RED DE AGUA
La calidad del agua influye en los periodos entre limpiezas y en la vida del producto (principalmente en las unidades condensadas
por agua). También tiene una notable influencia en la apariencia, dureza y sabor del hielo.
Las condiciones del agua del local pueden necesitar un tratamiento del agua para reducir la formación de cal, mejorar el sabor y
transparencia del hielo. Si se instala un sistema de filtrado de agua, dirigirse a las instrucciones suministradas con el sistema de
filtrado.
Utilizar una manguera de entrada de uso alimentario.
La presión de entrada de agua debe estar entre 14 y 85 psi (1 and 6 bar). Si la presión excede estos valores, instalar un regulador
de presión.
La conexión de agua necesita ser única (sólo una pieza enganchada a la conexión de agua). Esta conexión de agua desde la
válvula hasta la máquina de hielo tiene que ser un tubo de identificación nominal ¼".
ATENCIÓN: Este equipo debe instalarse con una protección adecuada contra el reflujo para cumplir con los códigos federales,
estatales y locales aplicables.
(6) CONEXIÓN AL DESAGÜE
El desagüe debe encontrarse más bajo que la máquina, como mínimo 5.9’’ (150 mm).
El tubo de desagüe conviene que tenga un diámetro interior de 1.18’’ (30 mm) y con una pendiente mínima de 0.36’’/pie (3
cm/metro), véase la figura.

(7) CONEXIÓN ELÉCTRICA
ESTE APARATO DEBE CONECTARSE OBLIGATORIAMENTE A TIERRA para evitar posibles descargas sobre personas o daños
al equipo. Se debe conectar a tierra según las normativas y legislación locales y/o nacionales en cada caso.
EL FABRICANTE NO SERÁ CONSIDERADO RESPONSABLE ANTE DAÑOS CAUSADOS POR LA FALTA DE PUESTA A
TIERRA DE LA INSTALACIÓN.
Si el cable de alimentación está dañado, debe ser sustituido por un cable o conjunto especial a suministrar por el fabricante o el
servicio postventa. Dicha sustitución debe ser realizada por el servicio técnico cualificado.
Se deberá colocar la máquina de tal manera que se deje un espacio mínimo entre la parte posterior y la pared para permitir la
accesibilidad a la clavija del cable de manera cómoda y sin riesgos.
Cuidado con el enchufe. Es conveniente instalar interruptores y disyuntores adecuados.
El voltaje está marcado en la placa de características y en las hojas técnicas de este manual. Las variaciones en el voltaje
superiores al 10% del indicado en la placa pueden ocasionar averías o impedir que la máquina arranque.
Si la máquina de hielo no está equipada con un CABLE DE ALIMENTACIÓN y enchufe, u otro medio de desconexión de la fuente
de alimentación que tenga una separación de contactos de todos los polos, que proporcione una desconexión completa en
condiciones de sobretensión de clase III, entonces el medio de desconexión debe incorporarse al cableado fijo de acuerdo con las
reglas de cableado.
ATENCIÓN: El aparato requiere una fuente de alimentación independiente de capacidad adecuada. Consulte las especificaciones
eléctricas en la placa de identificación. Si no se utiliza una fuente de alimentación independiente de la capacidad sugerida, se
puede producir una desconexión del interruptor, un fusible fundido, daños en el cableado existente o fallos en los componentes.
Esto podría provocar un sobrecalentamiento.
(8) INSTALACIÓN DE EQUIPOS MODULARES SOBRE SILOS
Los fabricadores modulares deben instalarse sobre depósitos o silos, siguiendo las indicaciones contenidas en este manual.
Se debe verificar la resistencia y estabilidad del conjunto recipiente-máquina/s, así como la fijación de los elementos. Seguir las
instrucciones del fabricante del silo.
