SPECIFICATIONS DRAIN/ELECTRICAL LOCATION 115V power cord Drain Flexible tubing 3/8" ID pump model (included) 5/8" ID x 7/8" OD gravity model (not included) Potable water inlet 1/4" compression fitting 2-1/2" (6.4 cm) 3-1/4" (8.3 cm) 3-3/4" (9.5 cm) 7-3/8" (18.9 cm) 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) GENERAL INFORMATION AIR FLOW The machine takes in room temperature air at the lower right front and forces warm air out the lower left front. Restricting the airflow will adversely affect the ability of the ice machine to make ice. Filters and Treatment In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some methods of water treatment for dissolved solids include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate feeders. Warm air out Air intake RO Water This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no less than 10 microSiemens/cm. A reverse osmosis system should include post treatment to satisfy the R.O. water's potential aggressiveness. Deionized water is not recommended. Because water softeners exchange one mineral for another, softened water may not improve water conditions when used with ice machines. Where water is very hard, softened water could result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of use water specialist for recommendations on water treatment. 10 11
