Placement
The location of the equipment should be selected
with care. Consideration should be given to allow
adequate space on the sides for air cooled models to
breathe.
Minimum clearances for air cooled models:
• 6 inches or 15 cm at each side
• 2 inches or 5 cm above, 10” or 25 cm more to
allow auger removal when ceiling is fixed.
• 6 inches or 15 cm at the back.
Air cooled models flow air left to right. More space
than the minimum at the sides will maximize
performance.
The power outlet should be located within the length
of the supplied power cord. If placed on a counter,
the counter must be strong enough to support the
weight of the unit. Space above the cabinet should be
allowed for service and maintenance. If legs will be
used, allow space for the total cabinet height.
Air cooled models in a small room will require
ventilation to exhaust the heat they produce. They
also produce some added noise from the fan.
Noise sensitive areas should consider water cooled
equipment or the machine located where the noise
from ice making is not objectionable.
Nearby infrared emitters or a window that allows
sunlight to shine on a dispensing sensor may cause
the unit to dispense ice or water without a container to
trigger it.
Cafeteria applications.
The unit can be placed in a cafeteria line for ice and
water. As some users sometimes dispense too much
ice, high volume use may require the drip tray to be
occasionally cleared of spilled ice.
