2-3Section 2 Installation InstructionsLocation of Ice MachineThe location selected for the ice machine must meetthe following criteria. If any of these criteria are notmet, select another location.• The location must be indoors.• The location must be free of airborne and othercontaminants.• The air temperature must be at least 35°F (1.7°C),but must not exceed 110°F (43.4°C).• The location must not be near heat-generatingequipment or in direct sunlight.• The location must be capable of supporting theweight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.• The location must allow enough clearance forwater, drain and electrical connections in the rearof the ice machine.• The location must not obstruct airflow through oraround the ice machine (condenser airflow is inand out the front). Refer to the chart below forclearance requirements.Self-ContainedAir-CooledSelf-ContainedWater-CooledTop/Sides 5” (203 mm)* 5” (127 mm)*Back 5” (127 mm)* 5” (127 mm)** NOTE: The ice machine may be built into a cabinet.There is no minimum clearance requirement for thetop or left and right sides of the ice machine. Thelisted values are recommended for efficient operationand servicing only.CAUTIONThe ice machine must be protected if it will besubjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C).Failure caused by exposure to freezingtemperatures is not covered by the warranty.See “Removal from Service/Winterization” on page4-11.Ice Machine Heat of RejectionSeries Heat of Rejection*Ice Machine Air Conditioning** PeakQ130 2100 3300Q210 2400 3400Q270 3800 6000* B.T.U./Hour** Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice makingcycle, the figure shown is an average.Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment,reject heat through the condenser. It is helpful toknow the amount of heat rejected by the ice machinewhen sizing air conditioning equipment where self-contained air-cooled ice machines are installed.
