1. 1.1 General Information and Installation Instructions Notes Introduction The Electronic Cubers are quality designed, engineered and manufactured. Their ice making systems are thoroughly tested providing the utmost in flexibility to fit the needs of a particular user. These icemakers have been engineered to our own rigid safety and performance standards. The VDE – SEV – WRC seals signify that it is listed with them and that it complies with the materials and manufacturing standards of them. Note.
fittings and a shut off valve installed in an accessible position between the water supply line and the unit. Fig. 11 WATER SUPPLY - WATER COOLED MODELS. The water cooled versions require two separate inlet water supplies on models 40 and 60, one to supply water for the ice production and one for the water cooled condenser.

The machine may stop working if the condenser temperature exceeds the pre-set temperature of the Over Temperature Thermostat (nonadjustable) due to a very high ambient temperature, condenser fan failure, dirty/ blocked condenser. To restart the machine, depress the protruding button on the Alarm Reset. J. Changes to the defrost time. Under normal circumstances no adjustments should be necessary.
