Location Requirements:
- Ventilation: Install the machine in a well-ventilated area to ensure proper air circulation for the air-cooled compressor.
- Water Supply: A reliable water intake line must be accessible for ice production.
- Drainage: A drainage pipe is required to manage water discharge from the unit.
- Level Surface: For full ice-making capacity and consistent functionality, the ice maker must remain level at all times. The four adjustable legs allow for leveling on uneven floors or warped surfaces.

- Position the ice machine in the chosen location, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation and access for connections.
- Adjust the four leveling legs to ensure the machine is perfectly level. Use a spirit level for accuracy.
- Connect the water intake line to the designated inlet on the machine. It is recommended to use the included standard water filter.
- Connect the drainage pipe to the machine's outlet and route it to an appropriate drain.
- Plug the machine into a compatible 220V power outlet.
