NOTE: Do NOT mounting the Chill iCE unit above the ice
machine’s sump water discharge outlet.
3. Use the included mounting straps to secure the Chill ICE
unit to either the ice bin or to the wall. Otherwise, place
the unit on the floor.
NOTE: health codes in some areas require the Chill iCE to
be at least 6 inches (15 cm) off the floor.
4. Use a T connector to install a vent pipe, or vacuum breaker,
at least 24 inches (60 cm) in length as close as possible to
the sump drain exiting the ice machine (Figure 4)
NOTE; The Chill iCE will NOT function properly without a
vent pipe.
5. Attach a PVC line from the vent pipe at the ice machine
drain outlet to the Sump Water Discharge Inlet on the
Chill ICE (connection #3). Be sure to plumb a vertical line
down from the ice machine drain and THEN a horizontal
line to the Chill ICE (Figure 5).
NOTE: Water will overflow into the ice bin if the line is
installed horizontally after existing the ice machine.
6. Connect a PVC line to the Sump Water Outlet on the Chill
ICE (connection #4) using a 90° fitting. Be sure to plumb
a vertical line down THEN a horizontal line to the floor
drain (Figure 6).
NOTE: Drain water will not flow properly if the line exiting
the Chill iCE is horizontal.
7. Carefully cut the existing fresh water line from the wall or
after the water filter. Leave enough tubing to reach from
the back of the ice machine to the top of the Chill ICE
unit.

8. Insert insulated tubing into the Fresh Water Outlet on the
Chill ICE unit (connection #2).
NOTE: if you are unfamiliar with Speedfit® connectors,
review the Connections section on page 1.
9. Insert the tubing containing the fresh water source into the
Fresh Water Inlet on the Chill ICE (connection #1). If addi-
tional tubing is needed between the Chill ICE and the wall
outlet or water filter, be sure to connect the tubing with a
compression union (Figure 7).
10. Turn on the fresh water valve and check all connec-
tions for leaks. If you encounter any leaks, refer to the
Troubleshooting guide.
11. Check the water supply to the sump inside the ice
machine by depressing the float valve or by activating the
solenoid water valve.
12. Check the PVC drain lines for leaks by pouring water
through the vent pipe until it is seen exiting the Chill ICE unit
into the floor drain.
13. Turn on the ice machine. If you encounter any leaks, refer to
the Troubleshooting guide.
Troubleshooting Guide
iSSUE: The water lines are leaking at the Speedfit® fittings.
The tubing inserted in the fitting is not pushed in all the way
or the tubing end is out-of-round. Turn the water source off
to relieve line pressure, then remove tubing from the fitting
(see Connections section).
Inspect the end of the tubing to make certain there is a
clean square cut and the tubing is perfectly round. The
tubing should also be straight so it can be inserted com-
pletely (about 3/4” or 1.91 cm). Reinsert the tubing into
the fitting and press in firmly until the tubing “bottoms”
securely. Turn the water valve on and check again for
leaks.
iSSUE: When the ice machine is turned on, there isn’t any
water entering the sump to make ice.
Sometimes when the existing fresh water lines are cut
and bent to be inserted into the Chill ICE, some particu-
late matter can be broken loose and cause the water
supply within the ice machine to become clogged. Turn
the water source valve off. Inspect all needle valves, filter
screens, and any other water supply valves inside the
machine. Remove any debris found, then turn the water
source on and depress the float switch in the sump to
make certain the restriction was removed.
iSSUE: When the ice machine is running, there is water
overflowing out of the top of the vent pipe and the Chill iCE
seems to be clogged.
Either extend the height of the vent pipe if space per-
mits or use a larger diameter of PVC pipe in the existing
space. Both will allow for a greater volume of water to
rise in the vent pipe to overcome the air lock in the drain
system.
