INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Installation Guidelines

For proper operation of the Supera Ice Machine, the following installation guidelines must be
followed. Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failures, and
may void all warranties.

Reference the installation parameters prior to installing the machine:

Ambient Operating Temperatures
Minimum Operating Temperature: 50°F (10°C)
Maximum Operating Temperature 100°F (38°C), 110°F (43°C) on 50 Hz. Models

Note: Supera icemakers and dispensers are not approved for outdoor installation.

Incoming Water Supply (See Electrical and Plumbing Diagrams for line sizing)
Minimum incoming water temperature: 40°F (4.5°C)
Maximum incoming water temperature: 100°F (38°C)
Minimum incoming water pressure: 20 psi (1.4 bar) (0,138MPa)
Maximum incoming water pressure: 60 psi (4.1 bar) (0.414MPa)

Note: If water pressure exceeds 60 psi (4.1 bar), a water pressure regulator must be installed.

Drains
All drain lines must be installed per local codes. Flexible tubing is not recommended. Route bin
drain, purge drain and water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The use of condensate
pumps for draining water is not recommended by Supera. Supera assumes no responsibility for
improperly installed equipment.

Note: The purge drain fitting is plastic; DO NOT apply heat to the purge drain area; DO NOT
overtighten.

Water Filtration
A Supera water filter system should be installed with the ice machine.

Clearance Requirements
Self-contained air cooled ice machines must have a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at
the rear, top, and sides of the ice machine for proper air circulation.

Stacking
Supera does not endorse stacking ice machines.

Electrical Specifications
Refer to the serial plate at the rear of the ice machine to make sure proper voltage and circuit
breaker size have been supplied. Make sure the machine is on a dedicated circuit. European
installations require that the electrical supply fixed wiring must be provided with a disconnect
means having a separation of at least 3mm in all poles. The ice machines are provided without an
electrical cord set and are designed and agency approved to be permanently connected.

The 115 volt Undercounter ice makers are supplied with an electrical cord, all other ice makers will
need to be installed and wired per local electrical codes.

Caution: Electrical connection must be made or a cord installed by a qualified electrician or
there is danger of an electrical fire.

Adjustments

.

Level the machine within 1/8 inch in all directions. Check the bin control for proper adjustment.
Check the water in the water trough for proper level. Check the ice bridge for proper thickness.
Check the water regulating valve adjustment if water cooled

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Important!

Warning!
Do not apply heat directly to the back of bin as
damage may occur to plastic parts.
Do not over tighten the purge drain fitting as
damage may occur to plastic parts.

Remove the bin carton and tip the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the bin legs.
Secure the machine on top of the bin or dispenser.

Attach the ice machine to the bin with the mounting straps provided with the bin or dispenser.
Insure that the back of the ice machine is flush with the back of the bin. Proper functioning of the
bin door requires the bin door, when it is opened, to be in a stable position.

If the ice machine is too far forward on the bin, the opened door may not be stable, resulting in an
unexpected closing of the bin door. If the ice machine is to be mounted on a bin or dispenser
other than a Supera, refer to the manufacturer instructions for machine mounting. Supera will not
be responsible for damage or injury that results from unexpected closing of the bin door as a
result of the ice machine being too far forward on the bin.

A water filtration system should be installed with all ice machines. Check the filter manufacturer's
instructions for proper installation.

All water supply lines must be installed per local codes. Use 1/4 inch O.D. minimum on air cooled
machines. On water cooled machines 3/8 inch O.D.
minimum tubing must be run to the condenser. The
water supply for the float can “T” off from the
condenser line using 1/4 inch

O.D. minimum tubing. Make 2 coils of extra tubing so
that the machine can be pulled away from the wall if
service is needed.

All drain lines must be installed per local codes. The
purge drain should be a minimum of 5/8 inch O.D.
tubing. The condenser drain on water cooled units
should be 3/8 inch O.D. minimum. The drain line
fittings on Supera bins are 3/4 FPT. The bin drain
should be a minimum of 3/4 inch O.D. Cold water
drains should be insulated to prevent condensation
from forming.

Connect power supply to the terminal block in the
control box or at the rear junction box if equipped.

Ensure the machine is level within 1/8 inch in all
directions.

Remove any shipping or packaging material.

Once the machine has been installed, follow the start­up procedures.
