INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Allow enough space for the following elements • The ice maker, bin and water filter • Airflow Utilities • What are the voltage and amperage characteristics of the electrical outlet that will be used for this ice maker? • Is there a floor drain within 6 feet (1.8 meters)? • Is there a water source with water shutoff? • Are the utilities within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the ice-maker location? Remote installation • Is there an outdoor condenser location available? • Is there easy roof access and penetration? • Maximum precharged tubing line run considerations?
SIZING YOUR ICE MAKER
• Does the existing ice maker meet peak usage during the hottest time of the year? • Where are the various ice stations in the establishment that will need ice? • Will multiple ice stations be serviced from one or multiple ice makers? • For future growth, consider building in at least 20 percent additional ice capacity on new installations.
• For dispenser applications, increase machine production by 50%
