Location of Ice Machine
The location selected for the ice machine must meet
the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not
met, select another location.
• The location must be indoors.
• The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.
• The air temperature must be at least 10°C (50°F),
but must not exceed 40
°C (110°F).
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The counter top (or other resting surface) must be
able to support 425 kg per square meter (0.6 lb.
per square inch).
• The location must allow enough clearance for
water, drain, and electrical connections in the
rear of the ice machine.
• The location must not obstruct air flow to any
portion of the front of the ice machine.
CAUTION
The ice machine must be protected if it will be
subjected to temperatures below 0
°C (32°F).
Failure caused by exposure to freezing
temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See
“Removal from Service/Winterization” on page 4-
8.

** Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle, the
figure shown is an average.
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment,
reject heat through the condenser. It is helpful to
know the amount of heat rejected by the ice machine
when sizing air conditioning equipment where self-
contained air-cooled ice machines are installed.
Leveling the Ice Machine
After moving the ice machine into the installation
location, it must be leveled for proper operation.
Follow these steps to level the ice machine:
1. Check the level of the ice machine from front to
back and from side to side.
Checking for Level
2. If the ice machine is not level, adjust the leveling
glides on each corner of the base of the ice
machine as necessary.
3. Check the level of the ice machine after each
adjustment of the leveling glides.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the ice machine is level
from front to back and from side to side.
