CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
Water Supply
The ice machine must be connected to a potable, active cold
water supply line delivering water pressure at a minimum of 20
psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
• Water connection is made through a right angle garden
hose fitting supplied with the ice machine. See Figure 9 for
detailed instructions. DO NOT USE ANY THREAD SEALERS.
• A water filter can be used with this ice machine. A quality
filter can help remove particles as well as remove taste and
odors from water.
• DO NOT USE A “REVERSE OSMOSIS” FILTERING DEVICE.
• Softened water is not recommended. This will produce soft,
cloudy ice cubes that will stick together.
• De-ionized water is not recommended. This water will not
form solid ice cubes.
• A water specialist can recommend proper water treatment.
• When installing a water line for this ice machine a shutoff
valve is recommended. NOTE: DO NOT USE A SELF-PIERC-
ING TYPE VALVE.
• After installation of water line, turn on water and check for
any leaks. Additional tightening may be needed.
• Allow for extra water line for built-in installations for easy
removal of ice machine and to help prevent the water line
from kinking.
The ice machine is designed to make clear ice from the majority
of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfac-
tory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.
Secure the water supply line to the back of the cabinet with the
screw and clamp provided in the corner of the back panel. (See
Figure 8).
