INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: A Cornelius Model XXXX water filter(or equal) ice maker quality water treatment unit MUST BE
INSTALLED in the water supply line to the ice maker. Failure to do so may result in poor
quality ice, low production output, and may cause premature failure of the ice maker
evaporator and void the extended evaporator warranty.
This ice maker is provided with a stainless steel evaporator designed to last the life of the
product. But, some of the chemicals in treated and untreated water, specifically chlorine and
sulphur (sulphide), have the ability to attack stainless steel and cause premature failure. An
initial investment in proper water treatment will pay for itself in increased production, quality
and long life of the product.
1. Location
Locate the ice maker/dispenser indoors in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and/or
heat caused by radiation.
Ambient room temperature must be in the range of 60° to 90° F. Do not install unit in an enclosed area
where heat build up could be a problem. For proper airflow for the refrigeration system, allow a 6 clear-
ance at the back of the unit and a 12 clearance at the right side panel.
Consult Figure 1 for utility connection location.
Consult Figure 2 for dimensions for mounting the unit to the counter with the hardware provided. Note that
the unit must be level for proper operation.
The unit must be sealed to the counter. The mounting template drawing (Figure 2) indicated the openings
which must be cut in the counter. Locate the desired position for the unit, then mark the outline dimensions
and cut-out locations using the template drawing. Cut openings in counter.
Apply a continuous bead of NSF International (NSF) listed silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approximate-
ly 1/4 inside of the unit outline dimensions and around all openings. Then position the unit on the counter
within the outline dimensions. All excess sealant must be wiped away.
2. Plumbing
Connect the ice maker to a cold, potable water source suitable for drinking. Do not install the unit on a
water softener line. It is recommended that a hand shut-off valve and strainer be used on the incoming
supply line. A 1/4 outside diameter compression tube fitting is provided at the back of the unit for the wa-
ter supply hook up (See Figure 1). For proper operation, the incoming water supply pressure must be in the
range of 30--90 PSIG. Install a pressure regulating valve if above this range.
