for maximum performance and trouble-free operation
of your equipment.
• Visit our website www.manitowocice.com for manual
updates, translations, or contact information for
service agents in your area.
• This equipment contains high voltage electricity and
refrigerant charge. Installation and repairs are to be
performed by properly trained technicians aware of
the dangers of dealing with high voltage electricity
and refrigerant under pressure. The technician
must also be certified in proper refrigerant handling
and servicing procedures. All lockout and tag out
procedures must be followed when working on this
equipment.
• This equipment is intended for indoor use only. Do not
install or operate this equipment in outdoor areas.

codes of the authority having jurisdiction. It is
the responsibility of the end user to provide the
disconnect means to satisfy local codes. Refer to
rating plate for proper voltage.
• This appliance must be grounded.
• This equipment must be positioned so that the plug
is accessible unless other means for disconnection
from the power supply (e.g., circuit breaker or
disconnect switch) is provided.
• Check all wiring connections, including factory
terminals, before operation. Connections can
become loose during shipment and installation.

nWarning
Follow these precautions to prevent personal injury
during installation of this equipment:
• Installation must comply with all applicable

Installation Requirements
The location selected for the ice machine must meet the
following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met,
select another location.
• Air temperature - Minimum 50°F (10°C), Maximum
110°F (43°C)
• The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The location must be capable of supporting the weight
of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.
• The location must allow enough clearance for water,
drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice
machine.
• The location must not obstruct airflow through or
around the ice machine.
• The ice machine and bin must be level.
• Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures
outlined in this manual are not covered by the
warranty.
Installation

20 Part Number 000015433_03 5/20
Potable Water Requirements
• Plumbing must conform to local codes.
• Water temperature: Minimum 37°F (3°C), Maximum
90°F (32°C).
• Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply.
Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other
equipment are working. (Check valves on sink faucets,
dishwashers, etc.)
• If water pressure exceeds maximum pressure (80 psig
[552 kPa] obtain a water pressure regulator.
• A water shut-off valve is required to clean the ice
machine.
• A union for both the ice making and condenser water
lines is required.
• Water inlet lines require insulation to prevent
condensation.
• When local code requires, a back flow preventer must
be installed on the water inlet line.
Drain Connections
• Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of run
(2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
• Bin drain termination must have an air gap.
• Separate insulated bin and water-cooled condenser
drain lines are required.
• The bin and ice machine drains must be run separately.
