GENERAL INFORMATION
AND INSTALLATION

A. INTRODUCTION

This manual provides the specifications and the
step-by-step procedures for the installation, start­up and operation, maintenance and cleaning for
the SIMAG SPR 80, SPR 120 and SPR 165
Icemakers.
The Electronic Flakers are quality designed,
engineered and manufactured.
Their ice making systems are thoroughly tested
providing the utmost in flexibility to fit the needs
of a particular user.

NOTE. To retain the safety and performance
built into this icemaker, it is important that
installation and maintenance be conducted
in the manner outlined in this manual.

B. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

1. Call your authorized SIMAG Distributor or
Dealer for proper installation.

8. See data plate on the rear side of the unit
and check that local main voltage corresponds
with the voltage specified on it.

CAUTION. Incorrect voltage supplied to
the icemaker will void your parts
replacement program.

9. Remove the manufacturer’s registration card
from the inside of the User Manual and fill-in all
parts including: Model and Serial Number taken
from the data plate.
Forward the completed self-addressed
registration card to SIMAG factory.

C. LOCATION AND LEVELLING

WARNING. This Modular Flaker and
Superflaker is designed for indoor
installation only. Extended periods of
operation at temperature exceeding the
following limitations will constitute misuse
under the terms of the SIMAG
Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty resulting
in LOSS of warranty coverage.

2. Visually inspect the exterior of the packing
and skid. Any severe damage noted should be
reported to the delivering carrier and a concealed
damage claim form filled in subjet to inspection of
the contents with the carrier’s representative
present.

NOTE. If there are doubts, on the delivery
note register the following caption:
ACCEPTED WITH RESERVATION.

3. a) Cut and remove the plastic strip securing
the carton box to the skid.

b) Remove the packing nails securing the

carton box to the skid.

c) Cut open the top of the carton and remove

the protection sheet.

d) Pull out the polystyre posts from the

corners and then remove the carton.

4. Remove the front panel of the unit and
inspect for any concealed damage. Notify carrier
of your claim for the concealed damage as stated
in step 2 above.

5. Remove all internal support packing and
masking tape.

6. Check that refrigerant lines do not rub
against or touch other lines or surfaces, and that
the fan blades move freely.

7. Check that the compressor fits snugly onto
all its mounting pads.

1. Position the storage bin in the selected
permanent location.
Criteria for selection of location include:

a) Minimum room temperature 10°C (50°F)

and maximum room temperature 40°C (100°F).

b) Water inlet temperatures: minimum 5°C

(40°F) and maximum 40°C (100°F).

c) Well ventilated location for air cooled
models (clean the air cooled condenser at frequent
intervals).

d) Service access: adequate space must be
left for all service connections through the rear of
the ice maker. A minimum clearance of 15 cm (6")
must be left at the sides of the unit for routing
cooling air drawn into and exhausted out of the
compartment to maintain proper condensing
operation of air cooled models.

2. Level the icemaker in both the left to right
and front to rear directions by means of the
adjustable legs.

D. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

See data plate for current requirements to
determine wire size to be used for electrical
connections. All SIMAG icemakers require a
solid earth wire.
All SIMAG ice machines are supplied from the
factory completely pre-wired and require only
electrical power connections to the wire cord
provided at the rear of the unit.

Page 2

Make sure that the ice machine is connected to its
own circuit and individually fused (see data plate
for fuse size).
The maximum allowable voltage variation should
not exceed -10% and +10% of the data plate
rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning
and may be responsible for serious damage to
the overload switch and motor windings.

NOTE. All external wiring should conform to
national, state and local standards and
regulations.

Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s
data plate before connecting the unit.

E. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN

CONNECTIONS

GENERAL

When choosing the water supply for the ice flaker
consideration should be given to:

a) Length of run
b) Water clarity and purity
c) Adequate water supply pressure

Since water is the most important single ingredient
in producting ice you cannot emphasize too much
the three items listed above.
Low water pressure, below 1 bar may cause
malfunction of the ice maker unit.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to
produce scale build-up on the interior parts of the
water system while too soft water (with too lo
contents of mineral salts), will produce a very
hard flaker ice.

WARNING. The use of de-mineralized
water (water with no salt content) having
an electrical conductivity lower than 30 µs,
will cause the ability of the water sensors
to vanish with the consequent CUT-OUT
of the flaker operations.

Connect the 3/4" GAS male fitting of the water
inlet, using the flexible tubing supplied with the
unit, to the cold water supply line with regular
plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve installed in
an accessible position between the water supply
line and the unit.

WATER DRAIN

Connect the drain fitting with the plastic tube
supplied to an open trapped and vented drain.
When the drain is a long run, allow 3 cm pitch per
meter (1/4" pitch per foot).
The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and
vented floor drain.

WATER DRAIN - WATER COOLED MODELS

Connect the 3/4" GAS male fitting of the
condenserwater drain, utilizing the flexible tubing
supplied, to the open trapped and vented drain.
This additional drain line must not interconnect to
any other of the units drains.

NOTE. The water supply and the water drain
must be installed to conform with the local
code. In some case a licensed plumber and/
or a plumbing permit is required.

F. FINAL CHECK LIST

1. Is the unit in a room where ambient
temperatures are within a minimum of 10°C
(50°F) even in winter months?

2. Is there at least a 15 cm (6") clearance
around the unit for proper air circulation?

3. Is the unit level? (IMPORTANT)

4. Have all the electrical and plumbing
connections been made, and is the water supply
shut-off valve open?

WATER SUPPLY

Connect the 3/4" GAS male of the water inlet
fitting, using the food grade flexible tubing supplied
with the machine, to the cold water supply line
with regular plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve
installed in an accessible position between the
water supply line and the unit.
If water contains a high level of impurities, it is
advisable to consider the installation of an
appropriate water filter or conditioner.

WATER SUPPLY - WATER COOLED MODELS

The water cooled versions of SIMAG Ice Makers

LABEC

require two separate inlet water supplies, one for
the water making the flaker ice and the other for
the water cooled condenser.

5. Has the voltage been tested and checked
against the data plate rating?

6. Has the water supply pressure been
checked to ensure a water pressure of at least
1 bar (14 psi).

7. Have the bolts holding the compressor down
been checked to ensure that the compressor is
snugly fitted onto the mounting pads?

8. Check all refrigerant lines and conduit lines
to guard against vibrations and possible failure.

9. Have the bin liner and cabinet been wiped
clean?

10. Has the owner/user been given the User
Manual and been instructed on the importance of
periodic maintenance checks?

Page 3

11. Has the Manufacturer’s registration card
been filled in properly? Check for correct model
and serial number against the serial plate and
mail the registration card to the factory.

G. INSTALLATION PRACTICE

WARNING. This icemaker is not designed for outdoor installation and will not function in
ambient temperatures below 10°C (50°F) or above 40°C (100°F).

This icemaker will malfunction with water temperatures below 5°C (40°F) or above 40°C
(100°F).
