WATER SERVICE/DRAINS
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and
remove chlorine odor and taste.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing a Manitowoc water filter
system, refer to the Installation Instructions
supplied with the filter system for ice making water
inlet connections.
WATER INLET LINES
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•
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, 80 psig (5.5 bar) obtain a
water pressure regulator from your Manitowoc
distributor.
• Install a water shut-off valve for ice making potable
water.
• Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
• Local, state or city codes may require an air gap.
Contact a local plumber for code requirements.
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.
