Note: If water pressure exceeds 60 psi (4.1 bar), a water pressure regulator must be installed.
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 by Ice-O-Matic. Ice-O-Matic assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment.
Note: The purge drain fitting is plastic; DO NOT apply heat to the purge drain area; DO NOT overtighten.
Water Filtration
A water filter system should be installed with the ice machine.
Clearance Requirements
Self-contained air cooled ice machines must have a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the rear, top, and
sides of the ice machine for proper air circulation.
Stacking
Ice-O-Matic does not endorse stacking ice machines.
Dispenser Application
A thermostatic bin control kit should be installed if the ICE Series ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin top may
or may not be required. (Exception is the CD400 Series 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 bee n
supplied. Make sure the machine is on a dedicated circuit. European installations require that the electrica l 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.
The 115 volt Undercounter series ice makers are supplied with an electrical cord, all other ice makers will
need to be installed and wired per local electrical codes.
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 bin control for proper adjustment.
Check the water in the water trough for proper level.
Check the ice bridge for proper thickness.
Check the water regulating valve adjustment if water cooled.

ICE Series Installation Guidelines
Remove the bin carton and tip the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the bin legs.
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 bin 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.
Important!
A water filtration system should be installed with all ice machines. Check the filter manufacturer's instructions for
proper installation.
All water supply lines must be installed per local codes.
Use 1/4 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
float can “T” off from the condenser line using 1/4 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.
All drain lines must be installed per local codes. The
purge drain should be a minimum of 5/8 inch O.D. tubing.
The condenser drain on water cooled units should be 3/8
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
Warning! Do not over tighten as
damage may occur to plastic
parts.
3/4 inch O.D. Cold water drains should be insulated to
prevent condensation from forming.
Warning!
Do not apply heat directly to the back of bin as
damage may occur to plastic parts.
Do not over tighten the purge drain fitting as damage
may occur to plastic parts.
Connect power supply to the terminal block in the control
box or at the rear junction box if equipped.
Attach the ice machine to the bin or
dispenser with the provided
mounting hardware. Insure the back
of the ice machine is flush with the
IMPORTANT!
back of the bin.
Ensure the machine is level within 1/8 inch in all
directions.
Remove any shipping or packaging material.
Warning!
Do not apply heat directly to the
back of bin as damage may occur
to plastic parts.
If the machine has a remote condenser, reference the
Remote Condenser Installation Guidelines.
Once the machine has been installed, follow the
start-up procedures.

ICE Series Remote Condenser Guidelines
Remote Condenser Installation
For proper operation of the Ice-O-Matic 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 of the following:
● Maximum rise from the ice machine to the remote condenser is 35 physical feet.
● Maximum drop from the ice machine to the remote condenser is 15 physical feet.
● Physical line set maximum length is 75 feet.
● Calculated line set length maximum is 100 feet.
● Ambient operating temperatures: -20°F (-28.9°C) to 120°F (48.9°C)
Calculation Formula
● Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = distance in feet)
● Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = distance in feet)
● Horizontal Run = hd x 1 (hd = distance in feet)
● Calculation: Drop(s) + Rise(s) + Horizontal Run = dd+rd+hd=Calculated Line Length
Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive written authorization from
Ice-O-Matic. This includes multipass or rack system remote condensers.
Do NOT:
● Route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises.
● Route a line set that falls, then rises, then falls.
Remote Condenser Location:
Limited to a 25, 40, 45, 60 or a 75 foot length of precharged refrigerant tubing connecting the ice machine to the remote
condenser. The remote condenser must be above or level with the ice machine. Select the best available location,
protecting the remote condenser from extremes of dirt, dust and sun. Meet all applicable building codes. Usually the
services of a licensed electrician are required.
Roof Attachment:
1. Install and attach the remote condenser to the roof of the building, using the methods and practices of construction that
conform to the local building codes, including having a roofing contractor secure the remote condenser to the roof.
2. Have an electrician connect the remote condenser fan motor wires to the ice machine, using the junction box at the
back of the ice machine.
Precharged Line Set Routing
CAUTION: Do not connect the precharged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See the
coupling instructions for connecting information.
1. Each set of precharged tubing refrigerant lines consists of a 3/8 diameter liquid line and a 1/2 inch diameter disch arge
line. Both ends of each line have quick connect couplings, one end has a Schrader valve connection which goes to the
condenser.
Note: The openings in the building ceiling or wall, listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes recommended for
passing the refrigerant lines through.
2. Have the 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.
3. Route the refrigerant lines through the roof opening. Follow straight line routing whenever possible. Any excess tubing
MUST remain within the building.
4. Spiral the excess length of precharged tubing inside the building. Use a horizontal spiral to avoid any traps in the lines.
5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes.
CAUTION: The couplings on the sets of precharged lines are self sealing when installed properly. Carefully
follow the instructions in the VRC manual.
