Installation Section 2
Pre-Installation Checks
1. Location: Floor drain available - A floor drain
for the dispenser should be available. We
recommend that you vent the drain at the back of
the dispenser to reduce buildup of algae and
improve drainage. Drain tubing should be ½” I.D.
at minimum.
2. Location: Avoid heat sources – Avoid placing
the ice machine near heat sources such as
radiators, heating vents and direct sunlight. Avoid
placing air-cooled ice machines in kitchens, due to
grease, flour, or other particles, which can collect
on the condenser and fan blade, increasing ice
machine maintenance and reducing ice machine
efficiency.
3. Location: On a solid floor – The dispenser and
ice maker should be sitting on a good, solid, level
floor or surface.
4. Location: Do not obstruct traffic – The
dispenser should not extend from the wall in a
way that obstructs traffic through the area.
5. Electrical – Proper electrical voltage is available.
Receptacle is available and
within six feet.
WARNING
Never use an extension cord. If an electrical outlet is
not within six feet, have proper amperage outlet
installed.
6. Clearances for top and both sides of ice
machine – Use clearances specified in the ice
machine’s Installation and Use & Care Guide.
7. Clearance behind ice machine for dispenser
and drains – The location must allow enough
clearance for the water and drain connection at the
rear of the dispenser.
8. Back of ice machine to be flush with back of
dispenser – This allows easy removal of dispenser
front panel.
9. Separate drains – a separate drain line is required
for the ice machine, in addition to a drain line for
the Q Series Dispenser. Vent all drain lines.
10. Water filtration – Water filtration is strongly
recommended in order to increase the performance
of the ice machine and reduce maintenance costs.
For full information about ice machine installation,
including plumbing lines, connections and electrical
requirements, see the ice machine installation manual.
WARNING
The dispenser must be grounded in accordance with
all local and national electrical codes.
