Location of Ice Machine
The location selected for the ice machine must meet the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, select another location.
The location must be free of airborne and other contaminants.
The air temperature must be at least 1.6°C, but must not exceed 43.4°C.
The location must not be near heat-generating equipment or in direct sunlight.
The location must not obstruct air flow through or around the ice machine. Refer to the chart below for clearance requirements.
Stacking Two Ice Machines on a Single Storage Bin
A stacking kit is required for stacking two ice machines. Installation instructions are supplied with the stacking kit.
Ice Machine Heat of Rejection
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing air conditioning equipment where self-contained air­cooled ice machines are installed.
This information is also necessary when evaluating the benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to reduce air conditioning loads. The amount of heat added to an air conditioned environment by an ice machine using a water-cooled or remote condenser is negligible.
Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important when sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled condenser. Use the peak figure for sizing the cooling tower.

The air-cooled baffle prevents condenser air from recirculating. To install:
1. Remove the back panel screws next to the condenser.
2. Align the mounting holes in the air baffle with the screw holes and reinstall the screws.

GENERAL
VOLTAGE
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of the rated voltage at ice machine start-up (when the electrical load is highest).
FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER
A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for each ice machine. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R. rated.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERUPTER
Ground Fault Circuit Interupter (GFCI/GFI) protection is a system that shuts down the electric circuit (opens it) when it senses an unexpected loss of power, presumably to ground. Manitowoc Ice, Inc. does not recommend the use of a GFCI/GFI circuit protection with our equipment. If code requires the use of a GFCI/GFI then you must follow the local code. The circuit must be dedicated, sized properly and there must be a panel GFCI/GFI breaker. We do not recommend GFCI/GFI outlets as they are known for more intermittent nuisance trips than panel breakers.
MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY
The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity is not the ice machine’s running amp load.)
The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.
!
Warning
All wiring must conform to local and national codes.
!
Warning
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
