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.
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, obtain a water pressure
regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
• Install a water shut-off valve for both the ice making
and condenser water lines.
• Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
• Do not apply heat to water inlet valve fitting. This will
damage the plastic parts.
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 2.5 cm drop per meter of run
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.
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.
