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 40°F (4°C), but 
must not exceed 110°F (43°C).
•  The location must not be near heat-generating 
equipment or in direct sunlight.
•  The location must be capable of supporting the weight 
of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.
•  The location must allow enough clearance for water, 
drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice 
machine.
•  The location must not obstruct airflow through or 
around the ice machine (condenser airflow is in and 
out the front). Refer to the chart below for clearance 
requirements.
•  The location must not be near garbage or other 
contaminants.
•  The ice machine must use legs or be sealed to the floor. 
Before sealing to the floor, the rubber bumpers on the 
bottom of the ice machine must be removed.

** 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
1.  Screw the leveling legs onto the bottom of the ice 
machine.
2.  Screw the foot of each leg in as far as possible.
3.  Move the ice machine into its final position.
4.  Level the ice machine by using a level on top of the ice 
machine. Turn each foot as necessary to level the ice 
machine from front to back and side to side.
