One of the many types of refrigeration equipment a technician may be asked to install is the self-contained, commercial ice machine. Installing this type of ice machine isn't normally difficult, but does require a technician to follow the directions as outlined in the manufacturer's installation literature. Reading and following the directions will ensure the proper operation of the ice machine and prevent future problems from developing. This is an important part of the process.
There are some general installation guidelines that apply to many self-contained commercial ice machines. Reviewing some of these common guidelines may help technicians avoid some of the common problems encountered with installations.
