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 indoors.
•The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.
•The air temperature must be at least 45°F (7°C),

•The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
•The location must be capable of supporting the
weight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.
•The location must allow enough clearance for
water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine.
•The location must not obstruct airflow through or
around the ice machine. Refer to the chart below
for clearance requirements.
•RFC Condensing Units ONLY - Interconnecting
wiring (115/60/1 or 230/50/1) is required between
the ice machine and condensing unit to energize
the contactor coil.

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.
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 location must not allow exhaust fan heat and/
or grease to enter the condenser.
•The location must not obstruct airflow through or

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.
