INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY Water Supply ! CAUTION Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this appliance. This ice machine must be connected to a potable cold water supply line. delivering water pressure between a minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi. Use 1/4" copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Route the 1/4" copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kink the tubing.
INSTALLING THE DRAIN PLUMBING ! CAUTION Drain line coiled and secured to the back of the cabinet. Uncoil, route to an appropriate drain and cut to length. This drain pump is designed to be installed in Marvel ice machines only and approved for use with water only. ! WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Risk of electrical shock or personal injury could occur due to moving components, if the machine compartment access cover is removed before unplugging the ice machine power cord. Drain pump vent tube.
ICE MAKER OPERATION The Ice Making Process fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less dissolved solids than the water it is produced from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator plate which gradually freezes leaving the dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide clear ice. Water distributor sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter cutter’s heated wires.
ICE MAKER OPERATION The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice machine’s bin is full and will restart automatically when ice needs to be replenished in the bin. The ice bin is machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice machine’s bin. Ice Production In normal mode the ice machine will produce up to 39 pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when installed in a 72°F ambient with a 55°F water supply.
CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE Clean reminder: CLEAN When cleaning is needed, UI will alternate between "CL" and "ICE" every 3000 cycles to indicate that the unit needs to be cleaned. Over time, mineral buildup on the cold evaporator plate can occur which can adversely affect the quality of your ice. This build-up is dependent on your water source and usage. Normal ice production will continue while the "CLEAN" reminder is displayed.
LONG TERM STORAGE AND WINTERIZATION water in the ice-making system. ! CAUTION This ice machine must have all water drained and removed to prevent ice machine damage as well as possible water damage to the surrounding area in freezing conditions. These damages are not covered under warranty. ! CAUTION Do not use any type of anti-freeze or other solution as a substitution for properly draining the ice machine.
LONG TERM STORAGE AND WINTERIZATION 7. Disconnect the water valve’s outlet water line to the reservoir and drain the remaining water left in the water line trap area. Reconnect the water valve outlet water line. Reinstall the ice machine’s access cover. Clean and dry the ice machine’s storage bin. Prop the door open for air circulation to prevent mold and mildew. Leave the water supply line disconnected or reconnect water on and allow water to enter back into the water valve.
LONG TERM STORAGE AND WINTERIZATION To Restart the Ice Machine access for the air hose. Apply air pressure (approximately 10 psi) to the end of the vent tube which will purge the remainder of the water from the drain pump and the drain line. Reinstall the vent tube and clamp to the back of the ice machine and remove the winterization plug from the ice bin and save it for future use. Reconnect or turn on the water supply line. Reconnect drain tubing if removed.
