5. Configuració i instal·lació

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your ice machine. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician.

5.1. Desembalatge i col·locació

• Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage.
• Place the ice machine on a firm, level surface capable of supporting its weight (204 lbs empty, plus ice).
• Ensure adequate ventilation. As an air-cooled unit, it requires a minimum of 6 inches of clear space on the sides and rear for proper airflow. Do not install in an enclosed cabinet without proper ventilation.
• Avoid locations near heat-generating appliances or in direct sunlight. The ambient temperature should be between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C).

5.2. Connexió d'aigua

• Connect the ice machine to a cold, potable water supply with a pressure between 20 PSI and 80 PSI.
• Install the included in-line water filter according to its instructions to ensure clean water for ice production and to protect the machine.
• Use new water supply hoses; do not reuse old hoses.

5.3. Connexió de desguàs

• The unit requires a floor drain or a drain pump (not included) for proper water drainage.
• Ensure the drain hose has a continuous downward slope to prevent standing water and blockages.

• INIT: Initialization phase.
• PREPARACIÓ: Preparation phase before ice making.
• FER: Ice making cycle in progress.
• CAIXAR: Ice harvesting/dropping cycle.
• Entrada: Water inlet status.
• E FAULT: Error indicator. Refer to the display for specific error codes (E01-E08).
• Botons +/-: Adjust ice thickness.
• Botó CLEAN: Inicia el cicle de neteja.
