Make sure that the ice machine is connected to
its own circuit and individually fused (see data
plate for fuse size).
Themaximumallowablevoltagevariationshould
not exceed -10% and +10% of the data plate
rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning
and may be responsible for serious damage to
the 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
Whenchoosingthewatersupplyfortheiceflaker
consideration should be given to:
a) Length of run
b) Water clarity and purity
c) Adequate water supply pressure
Sincewateristhemostimportantsingleingredient
in producting 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
producescalebuild-upontheinteriorpartsofthe
water system while too soft water (with too lo
contents of mineral salts), will produce a very
hard flaker ice.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect the 3/4" GAS male of the water inlet
fitting,usingthefoodgradeflexiblehosesupplied
tothecoldwatersupplylinewithregularplumbing
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.

one for the water making the flaker ice and the
other for the water cooled condenser.
Connect the 3/4" GAS male fitting of the water
inlet, using the flexible hose supplied 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 and the
unit.
WATER DRAIN
The recommended drain tube is a plastic or
flexiblehose with18 mm(3/4") I.D.whichruns 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).

or a plumbing permit is required.
F. FINAL CHECK LIST
1. Is the unit in a room where ambient
temperaturesarewithinaminimumof10°C(50°F)
even in winter months?
2. Is there at least a 15 cm (6") clearance
around the unit for proper air circulation?
3. Is the unit level? (IMPORTANT)
4. Have all the electrical and plumbing
connectionsbeenmade,andisthe water supply
shut-off valve open?
5. Has the voltage been tested and checked
against the data plate rating?
6. Hasthewatersupplypressurebeenchecked
to ensure a water pressure of at least 1 bar (14
psi).
7. Havetheboltsholdingthecompressordown
been checked to ensure that the compressor is
snugly fitted onto the mounting pads?
8. Checkallrefrigerantlinesandconduit lines
to guard against vibrations and possible failure.
9. Have the bin liner and cabinet been wiped
clean?
10. Has the owner/user been given the User
Manualandbeeninstructedontheimportanceof
periodic maintenance checks?
11. Has the Manufacturer’s registration card
been filled in properly? Check for correct model
and serial number against the serial plate and
mail the registration card to the factory.
12. Hastheownerbeengiventhenameandthe
