ICE Series Installation Guidelines Installation Guidelines For proper operation of the Ice-O-Matic ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failures, and may void all warranties. Reference the installation parameters prior to installing the machine: Ambient Operating Temperatures Minimum Operating Temperature: 50°F (10°C) Maximum Operating Temperature 100°F (38°C), 110°F (43°C) on 50 Hz. Models.
ICE Series Installation Guidelines Remove the bin carton and tip the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the bin legs. Secure the machine on top of the bin or dispenser. Attach the ice machine to the bin with the mounting straps provided with the bin or dispenser. Insure that the back of the ice machine is flush with the back of the bin. Proper functioning of the bin door requires the bin door, when it is opened, to be in a stable position.
ICE Series Remote Condenser Guidelines Remote Condenser Installation For proper operation of the Ice-O-Matic ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failure, and may void all warranties. Use the following for planning the placement of the remote condenser relative to the ice machine.
ICE Series Remote Condenser Guidelines The following remote ice makers incorporate the mixing valve in the condenser. This configuration allows up to a 100 foot calculated remote line set run. Reference the diagram below to calculate the maximum 100 foot line set run. Maximum actual line set run is limited to 100 ft. Add ¼ ounce of refrigerant for each actual foot from 75 feet to 100 feet actual lineset run.
ICE Series Electrical and Plumbing Requirements Electrical and Plumbing Requirements: ICEU150, 220, 225 and 226 Note: The ICEU150, 220, 225 and 226 do not have a splash curtain. These models utilize a thermostatic bin control in place of a mechanical bin switch. ON-OFF-WASH Switch is located in the control box. Remove the grill screws to access the control box.
ICE Series Electrical and Plumbing Requirements Electrical and Plumbing Requirements: ICEU300 and 305 Note: The ICEU300 and ICEU305 do not have a splash curtain. These models utilize a thermostatic bin control in place of a mechanical bin switch. ON-OFF-WASH Switch is located in the control box. Remove the grill screws to access the control box.

ICE Series How the ICE Machine Works How the ICE Machine Works A general description of how the ICE Series cubers works is given below. With the ICE/OFF/WASH switch in the ICE position, the compressor, water pump and condenser fan motor (when applicable) will energize starting the freeze cycle. During the freeze cycle, water is circulated over the evaporator(s) where the ice cubes are formed.
ICE Series Start-Up Procedure Start-Up Procedure Before starting the machine, make sure the machine is level within 1/8 inch in all directions, the bin or dispenser leg height can be adjusted by rotating the leg foot. Check the water level in the water trough. It should be approximately ½ inch above the top of the water pump impeller housing. The water level can be adjusted by bending the float arm. Move the ICE-OFF-WASH switch to the ICE position. The switch is located in the control box.
ICE Series Start-Up Procedure Bin Control Operation The bin control is used to shut the machine off when the bin fills with ice. The bin control must be checked upon installation or initial start-up and when performing maintenance. Adjustments are not covered under warranty. There is one bin switch for each evaporator. The actuator arm of the bin switch comes in contact with the splash curtain. When the bin is full of ice, the splash curtain is held open when ice drops off of the evaporator.
ICE Series General Maintenance Electrical shock and/or injury from moving parts inside this machine can cause serious injury. Disconnect electrical supply to machine prior to performing any adjustments or repairs. Failure to perform the required maintenance at the frequency specified will void warranty coverage in the event of a related failure.
ICE Series Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedures ICE Machine and/or Bin/Dispenser Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year. Sanitizing should be performed after each cleaning or more frequently as required. Note: Electrical power will be ON when performing the following cleaning instructions. The cleaning and sanitizing of any commercial ice machine are important procedures all operators need to have in their preventive maintenance protocol.
ICE Series Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedures Sanitizing Prior to Sanitizing the ice machine and/or Bin/Dispenser, perform the following: 1. Remove the ice machine front panel. 2. Make sure that all the ice is off of the evaporator. If ice is being made, wait for cycle completion then turn the machine “OFF” at the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch. 3. Turn OFF the potable water supply to the ice machine. 4. Remove all ice in the storage bin.
ICE Series Cabinet Care Cleaning Stainless Steel and Aluminum Commercial grades of stainless steel and aluminum are susceptible to rusting and corrosion if not properly maintained. It is important that you properly care for the stainless steel and aluminum surfaces of your ice machine and bin to avoid the possibility of rust or corrosion. Use the following recommended guidelines for keeping your machine looking like new: 1. Clean the stainless steel and aluminum thoroughly once a week.
ICE Series Winterizing Procedure Winterizing Procedures Important! Whenever the ice machine is taken out of operation during the winter months, the procedure below must be performed. Failure to do so may cause serious damage and will void all warranties. 1. Turn off water to machine. 2. Make sure all ice is off of the evaporator(s). If ice is being made, initiate harvest or wait for cycle completion. 3. Place the ICE/OFF/WASH switch to the “OFF” position. The switch is located in the control box. 4.
