INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Installation Guidelines

For proper operation of the ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed by a qualified refrigeration technician. Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failures, and may void all warranties.

Reference the installation parameters prior to installing the machine. Ice-O-Matic assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment. Excessive time required for service or time for units requiring removal for service of inaccessible equipment will be the sole responsibility of the equipment owner.

This appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction. Children shall be supervised and are not to play with the appliance.

Ambient Operating Temperature

Minimum operating temperature: 50°F (10°C)

Maximum operating temperature:

100°F (38°C) (60 Hz.), 110°F (43°C) (50 Hz.).

Note: Ice-O-Matic ice-makers and dispensers are not approved for outdoor installation

Incoming Water Supply

WARNING: Connect to unheated potable water supply only

(see Electrical and Plumbing diagrams for line sizing)

Minimum incoming water temperature:

40°F (4.5°C) Maximum incoming water temperature:

100°F (38°C)

Minimum incoming water pressure:

20 psi (1.4 bar, 0.138MPa) Maximum incoming water pressure:

80 psi (5.5 bar, 0.552MPa)

Note: if water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.5 bar), a water pressure regulator must be installed

All water supply lines must be installed per local codes. Use 3/8 inch O.D. minimum on air cooled machines. On water cooled machines 3/8 inch O.D. minimum tubing must be run to the condenser. The water supply for the machine can “T” off from the condenser line using 3/8 inch O.D. minimum tubing. Make 2 coils of extra tubing so that the machine can be pulled away from the wall if service is needed.

Water Filtration/Treatment

A water filter system should be installed with the ice machine. Refer to Ice-O-Matic water filter specification sheet.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) water can be very acidic and can attack the evaporator and other metal in the ice machine. Because the RO process removes all minerals and metals from the water it can promote the faster growth of microbial mold and slime. If RO water is used, Ice-O-Matic recommends the water pH is verified to be a neutral 7.0 to minimize the corrosive effects. Incorrect cleaners, sanitizers, and RO water that does not have a neutral pH could void the machine’s warranty.

Drains

All drain lines must be installed per local codes. Flexible tubing is not recommended. Route bin drain, purge drain and water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The use of condensate pumps for draining water is not recommended. Ice-O-Matic assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment.

Note: The purge drain fitting is plastic: DO NOT apply heat to purge drain area; DO NOT over-tighten drain connection

All drain lines must be installed per local codes. The purge drain should be a minimum of 3/4 inch O.D. tubing. The condenser drain on water cooled units should be 1/2 inch O.D. minimum. The drain line fittings on Ice-O-Matic bins are 3/4 FPT. The bin drain should be a minimum of 3/4 inch O.D.

Cold water drains should be insulated to prevent condensation from forming.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Clearance Requirements

Self-contained air cooled ice machines should have a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the rear, top, and sides for proper air circulation and adequate space for serviceability.

Self-contained air-cooled ice machines exhaust air out of the top and right side. There are two alternative air exhaust options. Option A (top exhaust bias): minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the rear and top of the ice machine for proper function at maximum operating conditions. Option B (side exhaust bias): minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the rear and right side of the ice machine with a minimum of 3 inches (7.5cm) of clearance at the top for proper function at maximum operating conditions.

Appropriate space should be allowed for proper serviceability of the machine. Excess time to gain access for serviceability is not covered under warranty.

Stacking

Ice-O-Matic does not endorse stacking ice machines.

DispenserApplication

A thermostatic bin control kit should be installed if the CIM Cube ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin top may or may not be required and should be secured to the dispenser.

Electrical Specifications

Refer to the serial plate at the rear of the ice machine to make sure proper voltage and circuit breaker size have been supplied. Make sure the machine is on a dedicated circuit. European installations require that the electrical supply fixed wiring must be provided with a disconnect means having a separation of at least 3mm in all poles. The ice machines are provided without an electrical cord set and are designed and agency approved to be permanently connected.

Units are not approved for GFI outlets

Caution: Electrical connection must be made or a cord installed by a qualified electrician or there is danger of an electrical fire.

Adjustments

Level the machine within 1/8 inch in all directions. Check the water in the Water Sump for proper level.

Check the ice bridge for proper thickness. Check the Water Regulating Valve adjustment if

water cooled.

Secure the machine on top of the bin or dispenser. Attach the ice machine to the bin with the mounting straps provided with the bin or dispenser. Insure that the back of the ice machine is flush with the back of the bin. Proper functioning of the Bin Door requires the door, when it is opened, to be in a stable position.

If the ice machine is too far forward on the bin, the opened door may not be stable, resulting in an unexpected closing of the bin door. If the ice machine is to be mounted on a bin or dispenser other than an Ice-O-Matic, refer to the manufacturers instructions for machine mounting. Ice-O-Matic will not be responsible for damage or injury that results from unexpected closing of the bin door as a result of the ice machine being too far forward on the bin.

REMOTE CONDENSER GUIDELINES

Remote Condenser Installation

For proper operation of the ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failure, and may void all warranties.

Use the following for planning the placement of the remote condenser relative to the ice machine

Location Limits

	Remote condenser location must not exceed ANY	Roof Attachment
	of the following:	Install and attach the remote condenser to the roof
	Maximum rise from the ice machine to the
		of the building using the methods and practices of
	remote condenser is 35 physical feet.
		construction that conform to the local building
	Maximum drop from the ice machine to
		codes, including having a roofing contractor secure
	the remote condenser is 10 physical feet.
		the remote condenser to the roof.
	Physical line set maximum length is 75 ft.
	Calculated line set length maximum is 100	Have an electrician connect the remote condenser
	ft.
		fan motor wires to the ice machine using the
	Ambientoperatingtemperatures:
		junction box at the back of the machine.
	-20°F (-28.9°C) to 120°F (48.9°C)

Calculation Formula

Drop = dd x 6.6

(dd = drop distance (ft.))

Rise = rd x 1.7

(rd = rise distance (ft.))

Horizontal Run = hd

(hd = horizontal distance (ft.))

Calculated Line Length = Drop + Rise + Horizontal Run

Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive written authorization from Ice-O-Matic. This includes multi-pass or rack system remote condensers

DO NOT: Route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises or a line set that falls, then rises, then falls

Remote Condenser Location

Pre-charged line sets are available in 25, 40, or 75 foot length to connect the ice machine to the remote condenser. Select the best available location, protecting the remote condenser from extremes of dirt, dust and sun. Meet all applicable building codes. The services of a licensed electrician may be required.

Pre-charged Line Set Routing

CAUTION: Do not connect the pre-charged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing has been completed. See the coupling instructions for connecting information

Each set of pre-charged tubing refrigerant lines consists of a 3/8 diameter liquid line and 1/2 inch diameter discharge line. Both ends of each line have quick connect couplings, one end of the line set has a Schrader valve connection.

Note: the openings in the building or ceiling or wall, listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes recommended for passing the refrigerant lines through.

Have a roofing contractor cut a minimum hole for the refrigerant lines of 2.50 inch. Check local codes, a separate hole may be required for the electrical power to the condenser.

CAUTION: DO NOT KINK OR CRIMP REFRIGERANT TUBING WHEN INSTALLING IT

ELEVATION SERIES

REMOTE CONDENSER GUIDELINES

Route the refrigerant lines through the roof opening. Follow straight line routing whenever possible. Any excess tubing MUST remain with the building. Spiral the excess length of precharged tubing inside the building. Use a horizontal spiral to avoid any traps in the lines. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes.

CAUTION: The couplings on the sets of pre-charged lines are self sealing when installed properly. Carefully follow the instructions in the Remote Condenser manual

The following remote ice makers incorporate the Mixing Valve in the condenser. This configuration allows up to a 100 foot calculated remote line set run. Reference the diagram on the next page to calculate the maximum 100 ft. line set run. Maximum actual line set run is limited to 100 ft. Add 1/4 oz. of refrigerant for each actual foot from 75 to 100 ft. actual line set run.
