INSTALLATION

EMPLACEMENT GUIDELINES
THIS ICE MAKER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR OPERATION.
An incorrect installation of the equipment may cause damages to individuals, animals or other materials, being the manufacturer not responsible for such damages.
CAUTION:
The NG DP machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 10ºC (50ºF) and 43ºC (109.40ºF).
There may be some difficulties in ice- cube removal under the minimum temperatures. Above the maximum temperature, the life of the compressor is shortened and the production is substantially less.
The air flow in air-condensed machines enters through the front grille, entering on the right front and exiting on the left front side. In addition, the unit is equipped with a rear air vent. Do not obstruct the front grille with any objects.
The unit can operate embedded, but with a reduction in output.
In case the front louver is not enough, the exit is either total or partially obstructed or due to its placement it will receive hot air from another device, we recommend, in case it is not possible to change the location of the machine, TO INSTALL A WATER COOLED UNIT.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE WATER PIPING DO NOT PASS BY OR NEAR SOURCES OF HEAT SO AS NOT TO LOSE ICE PRODUCTION.
The machines expel hot air through the grids and this air has to go to the environment and not accumulate. This is particularly important with the air ejected from the back of the machines: you must leave a space to the wall of a minimum 10 cm, allowing air to flow from behind and with an exit so that there is a renewal of the same, avoiding the formation of hot air pockets in this area that could reduce the ice production of the machine and even activate its overheating protector and cause it to stop.

THREAD THE SUPPORT LEGS TO THE BASE OF THE MACHINE ON THE HOUSING SET TO SUCH END AND REGULATE THE HEIGHT AS TO HAVE THE EQUIPMENT PERFECTLY LEVELED.

Exits/renewals of the air between the rear of the machine and the wall must be provided for.
Water and Drainage
Water quality has a remarkable influence on the appearance, hardness and flavor of the ice as well as, on the machines condensate by water, on the life of the condenser.

Connections to the Water Network
Use a flexible pipe (1.3 m – 4.27 feet length) with the two filter joints supplied with the machine. Arrange the necessary appliances according to regulations or current norms to prevent water return to the network.
Pressure should be established between 0.1 MPa and 0.6 MPa (1-6 BAR)
If pressures overpass such values, install the necessary corrective devices.
Connection to Drainage
Drainage should be located lower to the machine level, at 150 mm (5.91 inches) minimum. It is convenient that the drainage pipe is of 30 mm (1.18 in) of interior diameter and with a minimum gradient of 3 cm (1.18 in) per meter (see figure).

IT IS MANDATORY TO GROUND THE EQUIPMENT
To avoid possible discharges on individuals or damages to the equipment, the machine should be grounded pursuant local and/or national regulations as the case may be.
THE MANUFACTURER SHALL BE HELD HARMLESS IN CASE OF DAMAGES ARISING DUE TO THE LACK OF THE GROUND INSTALLATION.

Electrical Connection

Caution:

• The positioning of the device must ensure that the power connection is not damaged or pinched.
• Do not install multiple portable power outlet strips or other portable power supplies in back of the device.

The machine is supplied with a 1.5 m (4.92 feet) cable of length. In case the supply cable is damaged, it should be replaced by a cable of special assembly to be furnished by the manufacturer or post-sale service. Such replacement should be performed by qualified technical service only.
The machine should be places in such a way as to allow a minimum space between the back and the wall to allow an easy access and without risks to the cable jack.
Safeguard the base of the jack.
It is advisable to install a power switch and the appropriate electrical safety devices in accordance with local and/or national regulations in each case.
Voltage and tension are indicated in the nameplate and on the technical specifications of this manual. Variation on voltage above the 10% stated on the nameplate could result on damages or prevent the machine start-up.
