Section 2
Water Supply and Drain Requirements
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the water
to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and remove
chlorine odor and taste.
!
Connect to a potable water supply only. Plumbing must
conform to state, local and national codes.
WATER INLET LINES
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•
If you are installing a water filter system, refer to the
installation instructions supplied with the filter system
for ice making water inlet connections.
•
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 the maximum recommended
pressure of 80 psi (552 kPa), obtain a water pressure
regulator from your local distributor.
•
Install a water shut-off valve for both the ice making and
condenser water lines.
•
Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
! Caution
Do not apply heat to water valve inlet fitting. This will
damage plastic water inlet connection.

Warning
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to
prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice machine
and storage bin:
•
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.
•
Run separate bin and ice machine drain lines. Insulate
them to prevent condensation.
•
Vent the bin and ice machine drain to the atmosphere.
Do not vent the condenser drain on water-cooled
models.
•
A separate auxiliary drain is located in the ice machine
base to remove moisture in high humidity areas. The
drain fitting is a female socket for 1/2" CPVC pipe. The
drain is sealed and the seal must be removed before
attaching the drain fitting/tubing. Tap the seal out with a
wooden dowel or similar tool. Seal the CPVC pipe to the
ice machine socket with silicone sealant to allow future
removal.
