ICE MACHINES Q-Model Service Manual

Installation Instructions Section 2GENERALCondensers must be mounted horizontally with the fanmotor on top.Remote condenser installations consist of vertical andhorizontal line sets between the ice machine and thecondenser. When combined, they must fit withinapproved specifications. The following guidelines,drawings and calculation methods must be followed toverify a proper remote condenser installation.! CautionThe 60 month compressor warranty (including the36 month labor replacement warranty) will not applyif the remote ice machine is not installed accordingto specifications.This warranty also will not apply if the refrigerationsystem is modified with a condenser, heat reclaimdevice, or other parts or assemblies notmanufactured by Manitowoc Ice, Inc., unlessspecifically approved in writing by Manitowoc Ice,Inc.GUIDELINES FOR ROUTING LINE SETSFirst, cut a 2.5" (6.35 cm) circular hole in the wall or rooffor tubing routing. The line set end with the 90° bend willconnect to the ice machine. The straight end will connectto the remote condenser.Follow these guidelines when routing the refrigerantlines. This will help insure proper performance andservice accessibility.1. Optional - Make the service loop in the line sets (SeeFigure 2-5). This permits easy access to the icemachine for cleaning and service. Do not use hardrigid copper at this location.2. Required - Do not form traps in the refrigeration lines(except the service loop). Refrigerant oil must befree to drain toward the ice machine or thecondenser. Route excess tubing in a supporteddownward horizontal spiral (See Figure 2-5). Do notcoil tubing vertically.3.
