minerals will stick to the ice making components.
The higher the mineral content, the more mineral
build up will occur. Water filters are a partial help,
as they will remove the suspended solids, but water
treatment is needed for the dissolved solids, which
are part of the water and cannot be filtered out. We

This ice machine is designed to operate in a wide
range of air temperatures with a minimum air
Although the machine will function within the listed
ranges, it works best at water temperatures between

environmental temperatures go up, and will be
Operating a unit outside of the limits can cause
problems that are not covered by the warranty and, if
extreme, cause damage to the unit.
This machine can be built into a cabinet. It is an
air cooled refrigeration system. Air flows in and out
