Installation

1.- LOCATION OF ICE MACHINE

This ice maker is not designed for outdoor operation. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing equipment.

The SPIKA machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 41ºF (5ºC) and 109.4ºF (43ºC). There may be some difficulties in ice slab removal under the
minimum temperatures. Above the maximum temperature, the life of the compressor is shortened, and the production is substantially lower.

The air cooled SPIKA NG (undercounter) ice makers take the air through the front section, and drive it off through the side, back and front louvers due to their new oblique
condenser structure and placement. Do not place anything on the top of ice maker or facing the front grille. In case the front grille is either total or partially obstructed,
or due to its placement it receives hot air from another device, we recommend, in case it is not possible to change the location, to install a water-cooled machine.
The air cooled SPIKA MS (modular) ice makers take the air through the back section and drive it off through the two lateral louvers. In the case it is not possible to respect
the minimum distances recommended (see the picture in point 3) for these machines we recommend installing a water-cooled unit.

The location must allow enough clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine. It is important that the water inlet piping do not pass
near sources of heat so as not to lose ice production.

2.- LEVELING THE ICE MACHINE

Use a level on top of ice machine in order to ensure the equipment is perfectly levelled.

Only for SPIKA NG (undercounter) machines:
Screw the levelling legs onto the bottom of the ice machine as far as possible.
Move the machine into its final position.
Use 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.
NOTE: An optional 3 1/2’’ (90mm) caster assembly is available for use in place of the legs. Installation instructions are supplied with the casters.
