2Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle, the figure shown is an average.
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 air-cooled ice machines are installed.
Leveling the Ice Machine
1.The leveling legs must be screwed into the bottom of the bin as far as possible.
! Caution
The legs must be screwed in tightly to prevent them from bending.
2.Move the bin into its final position.
3.Use a level on top of the bin. Adjust each foot as necessary and level from front to back and side to side.

Electrical Requirements
Voltage
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of the rated voltage on the ice machine model/serial number plate at start-up (when the electrical load is highest).
Fuse/Circuit Breaker
A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for each ice machine.
Total Circuit Ampacity
The total circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply.
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
Refer to ice machine data plate, for electrical requirements. The ice machine data plate information overrides all other published data.
! Warning
All wiring must conform to local, state and national codes.
! Warning
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical code.

Water Service/Drains
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and remove chlorine odor and taste.
Important
If you are installing a water filter system, refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the filter system for ice making water inlet connections.
! Warning
For ice making, connect to a potable water supply only.
WATER INLET LINES
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
•If water pressure exceeds the maximum recommended pressure, 80 psig (5.5 bar) obtain a water pressure regulator from your Koolaire distributor.
•Install a water shut-off valve for ice making potable water.
•Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice machine and storage bin:
•Drain lines must have a 1.5-inch drop per 5 feet of run (2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
•The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all drains.
•Install a tee to vent the ice machine drain to the atmosphere.
•Insulate drain lines to prevent condensation.
COOLING TOWER APPLICATIONS Water Cooled Models Only
A water-cooling tower installation does not require modification of the ice machine. The water regulator valve for the condenser continues to control the refrigeration discharge pressure.
It is necessary to know the amount of heat rejected, and the pressure drop through the condenser and water valves (inlet to outlet) when using a cooling tower on an ice machine.
•Water entering the condenser must not exceed 90°F (32.2°C).
•Water flow through the condenser must not exceed 5 gallons (19 liters) per minute.
•Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psig (.48 bar) between the condenser water inlet and the outlet of the ice machine.
•Water exiting the condenser must not exceed 110°F (43.3°C).
! Caution
Plumbing must conform to state and local codes
