Installation Instructions
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 40F (4C), but 
must not exceed 110F (43C).
• 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.
NOTE: The ice machine may be built into a cabinet. 
There is no minimum clearance requirement for the top 
or left and right sides of the ice machine. The listed 
values are recommended for efficient operation and 
servicing only.
Ice Machine Heat of Rejection
 * B.T.U./Hour
** 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.

Caution
The ice machine must be protected if it will be 
subjected to temperatures below 32F (0C). 
Failure caused by exposure to freezing 
temperatures is not covered by the warranty. See 
“Removal from Service/Winterization” Section 4.
