RECEPTION OF THE MACHINE

Inspect the outside packing. In case of damages, MAKE THE CORRESPONDING CLAIM TO THE CARRIER.
To confirm the existence of damages, UNPACK THE MACHINE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CARRIER and state any damage on the equipment on the reception document, or on a separate instrument.
Always state the machine number and model. This number is printed on three locations:

1. Packing
   On the outside, it contains a label with the manufacturing number (1).

2. Exterior of the equipment
   On the back of the equipment, there appears a label with the same characteristics as the previous one (1).

3. Nameplate
   On the back of the machine.
   Check that in interior of the machine the installation kit is complete and comprises:

   • Ice scraper, 3/4 gas pipe, 22 mm (0.86 inches) discharge hose, two filters and manual.
   • In some models, shims are included.

CAUTION: ALL PACKING ELEMENTS (plastic bags, carton boxes and wood pallets) SHOULD BE KEPT OUTSIDE THE REACH OF CHILDREN, AS THEY ARE A SOURCE OF POTENTIAL HAZARD. INSTALLATION 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 machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 5ºC (41ºF) 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 machines with air-cooler condenser take the air through the front section, and drive it off through the lateral and back louvers.
Do not place anything over the maker or in facing the front louver.

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 CONDENSER. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE WATER PIPING DO NOT PASS BY OR NEAR SOURCES OF HEAT SO AS NOT TO LOSE ICE PRODUCTION.

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.

1. Water and drainage
   Water quality has a remarkable influence on the appearance,
   hardness and flavor of the ice as well as, on the machines condensated by water, on the life of the condenser.

2. 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. We strongly discourage the use of two-exit bibs and two switches as, due to an error could close that back one, leaving the machine without water supply.
   This could result on a damage call without actually existing one. Pressure should be established between 0.7 Bar (10 / 85 psi.) If pressures overpass such values, install the necessary corrective devices.

3. 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).
