ICE Series Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines

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 failures, and may void all warranties.

Reference the installation parameters prior to installing the machine:

Ambient Operating Temperatures

Minimum Operating Temperature: 50°F (10°C)
Maximum Operating Temperature 100°F (38°C), 110°F (43°C) on 50 Hz. Models.

Note: ICE-O-Matic icemakers and dispensers are not approved for outdoor installation.
Incoming Water Supply (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)
Maximum incoming water pressure: 60 psi (4.1 bar)

Note: If water pressure exceeds 60 psi (4.1 bar), a water pressure regulator must be installed.
Drains

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.

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

If the ice machines are to be stacked, refer to the instructions in the stacking kit. ICE-O-Matic does not endorse
stacking air-cooled 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 electrical supply
fixed wiring must be provided with a disconnect means having a separation of at least 3mm in all poles. The

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.

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.

Remote Machines
Verify the ICE machine is compatible with the remote condenser. Some ice machines and some remote
condensers may or may not have a Mixing Valve (Head Master). Only one valve is required per system.
Kits are available to modify the ice machine or condenser for compatibility. For more information contact
your ICE-O-Matic Distributor.

ICE Series Installation Guidelines

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. If the ice machine is to

be mounted on a bin or dispenser other than an ICE-O-Matic, refer to the manufactures instructions for machine
mounting.

If the ice machine is to be stacked on top of another ice machine, a stacking kit will need to be installed. Refer to the
installation instructions included with the stacking kit.

Important!

A water filtration system should be installed with all ice machines. Check the filter manufactures instructions for proper
installation of the filter system.

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 ice
making 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. Condenser drain on water cooled units should
be 3/8 inch O.D. minimum. Drain line fittings on ICE­O-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 sweating.

Warning!

Do not apply heat directly to the back of bin 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.

Ensure the machine is level within 1/8 inch in all
directions.

Remove any shipping or packaging material.
If the machine has a remote condenser, reference

Remote Condenser Installation.
Once the machine has been installed follow the

start-up procedures.

Attach the ice machine to the bin
or dispenser with the provided
mounting hardware.

Warning!

Do not apply heat directly to the
back of bin as damage may occur
to plastic parts.
