Listed below is a generic set of instructions for the installation of the BREMA range of ice-making machines. Obviously installation will vary according to the product in question, please refer to the manual supplied with each BREMA product. Product dimensions and power requirements are also listed for each individual product on this website - refer to the products page for more information.

Dimensions

• Be sure, components will fit through doorways, down halls and into the installation space.

Location

• Locate the ice machine in an area where the ambient air temperature stays between 10C and 35C (i.e do not locate near hot appliances such as dishwashers etc).
  
• The optimum operation conditions are: ambient air temperature of 21C and incoming water temperature of 15C.
• Once installed, the ice maker must have adequate clearance for ventilation above, behind and on both sides
• Allow adequate access for service to the machine after installation.

Connections

• Electrical and water connection must be within 1200mm of the icemaker, meet local, state and national codes and should only be made by qualified persons.

Electrical Requirements

• Provide a separate fuse or circuit breaker for each machine.
• Ice machines require a ground that meets electrical codes.
• Wire size or gauge must be calculated by a qualified electrician.

Plumbing Requirements

• Ice maker must be connected to a cold water supply.
• Water temperature -min 3C -max 25C
• Water pressure:min 0.1 mpa - max 0.6 mpa
• Ensure drain lines have sufficient fall from machine.
• Ice maker water supply should have a separate isolating valve. Check conditions of your water supply and fit a suitable water filter assembly as required. Check with your BREMA Ice maker supplier for a filter assembly that will suit the ice maker purchased.
• Subject to the water conditions, change the filter cartridge every three months.

Model and Bin Selection

• Select your BREMA Ice maker and storage bin combination, allowing for an adequately sized bin to meet peak demands and production capacity to refill the storage bin in your required time frame. Remember, surrounding air and incoming water affect the quantity of ice that your machine will produce. Determine what these temperatures will be during times of peak usage, then verify your selection based on the machine's production specifications.
• The "ice usage guide" will help in calculating production requirements based on your peak needs.
• After calculating how much ice you expect you will need, add 25% to accommodate future business growth.
