Installation

Properly Fitting
After you have decided on the correct Ice machine size and brand your next step once delivered would be properly fitting your unit into the most accommodated area for proper ease of use. Most initial problems associated with new ice makers is not the ice maker its self but its environment. Making sure that proper drain lines are ran will help in reducing clogs in the maker and bin, proper water supply lines will make sure the ice maker itself is most sufficient and adequate space around the unit will keep it breathable and minimize risk of overheating and long term compressor damage. Also the unit must be easily accessible to retrieving ice!

Sound
Depending on the type of unit purchased and whether or not its air or water cooled ice makers can be very noisy machines. Sometimes this can become a problem in smaller restaurants but can almost always be a problem in hotels. Making sure from the very beginning your noise objectives will help in deciding area of installation, brand, size, type of compressor and if any what should be designed around the unit.

Filtration
Proper filtration for ice machines can be our biggest objective due to the fact that 75% of breakdowns on ice machines are water related. To make sure upon installation that correct size and type filtration units are being installed will save on costly repairs and redoes’ in the long run. In some cases even the correct placement of water filters so they are easily accessible will save in labor on yearly filter replacements.
