INSTALLATION
Recommended Placement of Unit
IMPORTANT!
ICE QUEEN machines are intended to operate at room temperature between 5°C and 43°C and
with water temperature rangin
g between 5°C and 35°C. You may encounter evaporator/gearbox
malfunctions should the machine run at temperatures below the recommended minimum. When
running above maximum recommended temperatures you can expect shorter compressor life
and decreased production.
Air-cooled units receive air input via front of machine and expel air through rear grille.
IMPORTANT!
If front and/or rear ventilation is inadequate, obstructed, or in close proximity to other heat
producing machinery, use of a water-cooled unit is strongly recommended.
The above mentioned also applies should unit be installed in an area where dust, smoke, or other
airborne pollutants may be present. Units—especially air-cooled ones—should not be installed in
kitchens. To facilitate access to condense
r and/or water pressure valve, allow sufficient space at
front of the machine. Ensure that flooring is firm and even.
Water and Drainage
Water quality influences ice hardness, flavour, and quality as well as condenser life.
Keep in mind the following points:
a) WATER IMPURITIES: Major impurities are eliminated by the two small wire mesh filters
provided and installed on either end of the water inlet hose. Filters should be cleaned/replaced
regularly depending on purity of water. For minor impurities we recommend installing a 5-
filter such as the one provided with the unit: Part # ITV 207499. This filter will need to be replaced
only when machine stops due to insufficient water flow (filter is obstructed with impurities).
b) WATER WITH MORE THAN 500 PPM: Ice will be less hard and tend to adhere. Lime deposits
may impede proper function. In water-cooled models, condenser obstruction is likely. Installation
of a high quality water softener is recommended.
c) CHLORINATED WATER: In most cases the filter which is included in the machine should be
sufficient. However, if mains water smells or tastes of bleach, this indicates an excess of chlorine,
which may eventually corrode the stainless steel auger. A carbon filter will remove chlorine in
water (average filter life: 6 months), not included with machine. (Part # ITV 207509).
(NOTE: You may encounter water with ALL aforementioned properties.)
