WARNING
PROTECT EYES FROM UV LIGHT TURN OFF THE UNIT OR DISCONNECT BEFORE SERVICING
1. Determine UV Lamp Mounting Location
There are many different ice-making machines so there is no single “right” Ice
UV mounting location. To determine the best location for your ice maker start
by looking for areas of mold growth and choose a position for the UV lamp that
will provide maximum exposure to that area. Consider using Ice UV Dual (DT)
for 600 lb. or larger ice makers.

Mount on lid between evaporator and deflector| * Mount over ice
collection bin
(good second Ice UV lamp location)| ** Install multiple Ice UV kits
(combine single and dual as needed) into larger ice makers for complete
coverage
*Important! use with optional interlock switch to prevent UVC exposure
2. Mount UV Lamp
After the mounting location is determined the UV lamp(s) can be mounted.
First, remove the metal shield then mount the shield using self-tapping
screws.
- Remove the UV lamp from the shield
- Use a shield to mark screw holes
- Mount shield with self-tapping screws
- Replace the lamp with the shield
3. Power Supply Installation
Mount the power supply in a suitable location inside the ice machine.
Whenever possible avoid drilling holes by passing wires over interior
partitions or through refrigerant pass-through areas. Use the wiring diagram
below to connect to 120277 VAC power. Use zip-ties to dress cables.

Power Supply Mounting
IMPORTANT!
Connect to constant power.
Do not cycle UV light on and off.
Cycling will reduce the life of the UV lamp and limit its effectiveness. -
Wiring Diagram
IMPORTANT!
Mount power supply & wires away from control board & sensors to prevent interference
4. UV Lamp Connection
- When all the other components are properly installed connect the UV Lamp cable to the Power supply cable.
- Make sure the flanges are aligned and then push the connectors firmly together. A tight connection ensures a proper water-resistant seal.
5. Lamp Replacement
The germicidal UV lamp in ICE UV® needs to be replaced every 2 years. Note: UV
lamps will continue to emit visible light but lose germicidal effectiveness
over time.
Note: Use of replacement UV lamps other than Fresh-Aire UV® voids
warranty.
Caution: UV lamps contain small amounts of mercury – dispose of lamps in
accordance with local environmental regulations. For more information visit

6. Protective Adhesive Vinyl Film
In most cases, the UVC light from Ice UV is not strong enough to damage the
plastics inside the ice machine but some discoloring may occur. This can be
prevented by using the protective adhesive vinyl film provided.
- Areas closest to the UV light will be the most prone to discoloration. Cut the vinyl to fit the area of concern.
- Remove the adhesive backing and press it into place.
IMPORTANT!
Optional Safety Interlock Switch
Use the Optional Safety Interlock Switch for installations where UVC light
from Ice UV would shine into accessible parts of the ice machine. Direct
exposure to UVC light can damage skin or eyes.
