Operating the machine outside of the above

limitations, or outdoors, is potentially damaging to

the machine; also it is misuse of the machine,

which may void the warranty.

Water Limitations
An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it

takes a raw material, water, and turns it into a food

product, ice. The purity of the water is very

important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing

product life. This section is not intended as a

complete resource for water questions, but it does

offer these general recommendations:
1. Filter the water used to produce ice. That is the

water going to the “potable” water connection.

Water filters vary greatly in ability and function.

Install one that filters out suspended solids to a

dimension of 5 microns or smaller. The finer the

filter the better, but finer filters will clog sooner than

course ones. It may be necessary to add a course

filter ahead of the fine filter to prolong filter life.
2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a

water test, and recommendations regarding filters

and treatment.

Service Limitations
Do not install in a location where the top of the

machine is within 6" of a fixed ceiling. Do not install

air cooled models in a location where there is less

than 6" clearance to the left and right of the

cabinet.
