Undercounter Ice Makers Need Little Modifications for Correct Functioning
Installing undercounter ice makers requires very limited modifications that are inexpensive and easy to do. A water line that is equipped with a filtration system needs to be hooked up directly into the undercounter ice makers in order to work correctly. A drain line is also necessary for the undercounter ice makers and is usually installed in the floor below the undercounter ice makers. The electricity hooked into the undercounter ice makers is typically a regular line and does not require any special wiring. Having the proper ventilation setup is also necessary for undercounter ice makers to function safely. Kaldi Gourmet Coffee Roasters provides a full set of instructions with every purchase or rental of their undercounter ice makers.
The first thing that undercounter ice makers require is a dedicated water line. The water line should be hooked directly into the undercounter ice makers and supply fresh, cool water to the machine. Some undercounter ice makers come equipped with water filtration systems internally. If this is the case then no additional water filter should be needed with the undercounter ice makers. If there is no water filter or the water filter is insufficient for the hard water in the area then it will be necessary to install a simple system. The water filtration system should be attached directly at the water source in order to keep the undercounter ice makers working properly. Kaldi.com can supply you with the undercounter ice makers and the water filtration systems.
A drain line is also important for the undercounter ice makers. As the undercounter ice makers run there will be significant water buildup that needs to be drained off. Creating a drain line below the undercounter ice makers makes the process go smoothly since the water will naturally flow downward. The drain line usually remains out of sight directly below the undercounter ice makers so that there is no need to have any visible lines. The drain line may occasionally become clogged or full of debris, but this is typically avoided if the undercounter ice makers are using filtered water. Undercounter ice makers with full specifications for drain lines are available through Kaldi Gourmet Coffee Roasters.
Although the electricity for the undercounter ice makers typically does not need to be increased there does need to be enough room around the machine for ventilation. The electricity is usually a regular 120 volt line although some undercounter ice makers may be larger and require more electricity. Either way the undercounter ice makers will need space around them for ventilation. Most modern undercounter ice makers require absolutely no additional space since they are designed to release air through the front of the unit. The bottom of the undercounter ice makers usually has a small grated panel in the front from which the air expels. These types of undercounter ice makers are very convenient since they can be placed directly next to a wall without any need for space.
