Daily production and storage are different measures. Select the machine for demand at the actual air and water temperatures, and allow for changes in operating conditions.
Installation and service access
Install level on a firm floor using the supplied adjustable legs. Keep 6 inches above and behind the machine, plus 6 inches on either the left or right side; the opposite side may have zero clearance. Check the nominal 39½-inch height together with the required overhead space before planning a counter installation. Leave room to open the bin door and pull the machine out for service.
Nominal cabinet dimensions do not include every utility projection or installation allowance. Check the exact drawing and delivered equipment before fit-out. Keep the machine away from ovens, grills and other high-heat equipment.
Power, water and drainage
Connect the supplied plug to an independent grounded outlet and confirm the delivered cord reach before locating the outlet. Do not use an extension cord, adapter plug or removed ground pin. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a receptacle.
Provide potable-water shutoff and drain valves. Confirm the delivered inlet-pressure and supply-tubing requirements before connection; do not operate with the supply off or below the minimum pressure required by the installation manual. Select water treatment for local quality and leave enough line length for service pull-out.
Use at least ¾-inch nominal-ID hard drain pipe or equivalent, a vented tee, at least ¼ inch fall per horizontal foot and a minimum 2-inch vertical air gap to an approved drain. Do not connect directly to a sewer.
Operation and care
The bin-level control stops production when the storage area fills. Have the installer test the control during commissioning, and keep the sensing mechanism unobstructed. Do not run the water pump in WASH with an empty tank.
Clean the scoop daily. Inspect the air filters every two weeks and wash them when dirty. Check external water treatment and wipe the exterior monthly. At least yearly, arrange qualified cleaning and sanitizing of the machine and storage bin, cleaning of the inlet screen, and inspection of hoses and the condenser. Increase the frequency for water quality and site conditions.
Cleaning and sanitizing are separate steps. Disconnect power before service, follow the exact chemical and rinse instructions, wear protective gloves and goggles, and do not use ammonia-type cleaners. Arrange proper draining before prolonged non-use or freezing conditions. The scoop and legs are included; utility installation and optional water-treatment equipment are separate.
Limited warranty
Coverage for the original owner/user includes three years parts and labor on the IM machine and evaporator, plus five years parts on the compressor and air-cooled condenser, subject to the complete terms. Coverage applies in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and U.S. territories. Register within 30 days of installation and retain installation records; improper installation, utility faults and inadequate maintenance are among the exclusions. Read the IM limited warranty.
