Section 2 Installation Instructions Before Starting the Ice Machine All Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, new installations do not require any adjustment. To ensure proper operation, follow the Operational Checks in Section 3 of this manual. Starting the ice machine and completing the Operational Checks are the responsibilities of the owner/operator. Adjustments and maintenance procedures outlined in this manual are not covered by the warranty.
Installation Instructions Section 2 Installation Checklist Are the ice machine and bin drains vented? Is the ice machine level? Are all electrical leads free from contact with refrigeration lines and moving equipment? Has all of the internal packing been removed? Have all of the electrical and water connections been made? Has the supply voltage been tested and checked against the rating on the nameplate? Is there proper clearance around the ice machine for air circulation? Is the ice machine grounded and

Operation Section 3 Operational Checks GENERAL WATER FLOAT VALVE CHECK Your Manitowoc ice machine was factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, a newly installed ice machine does not require any adjustment. Before water will flow into the water trough the float valve shut-off must be in the OPEN position.
Section 3 Operation WATER LEVEL CHECK ICE BRIDGE THICKNESS CHECK Check the water level while the ice machine is in the ice mode and the water pump is running. The correct water level is 1/4”(6.3mm) to 3/8” (9.5mm) below the top of the standpipe a line in the water trough indicates the correct level. The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8” (3.2 mm). SIPHON CAP 1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should be about 1/8” (3.2 mm) thick. 2.

Section 4 Maintenance Interior Cleaning and Sanitizing GENERAL Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months for efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified service company to test the water quality and recommend appropriate water treatment. Step 3 To start a cleaning cycle, move the toggle switch to the WASH position. Step 4 Add the proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner to the water trough.
Maintenance Section 4 D. Remove the Water Distribution Tube C. Remove the Ice Thickness Probe • Compress the side of the ice thickness probe near the top hinge pin and remove it from the bracket.

Maintenance Section 4 G. Remove the ice damper. F. Remove the Water Trough • Apply downward pressure on the siphon tube and remove from the bottom of the water trough. • Remove the upper thumbscrew. • While supporting the water trough remove the two thumbscrews from beneath the water trough. • Remove the water trough from the bin area. Q130 • Grasp left side of ice damper and apply pressure against the right-hand ice damper mounting bracket.
Section 4 Maintenance H. Remove the Bin Door • Grasp the rear of the bin door and pull bin door forward approximately 5”. • Slide bin door to the rear while applying upward pressure (The rear door pins will ride up into the track slot and slide backward to the stop tab). • While applying pressure against the bin door pull down on the rear of each bin door track until the door pins clear the stop tabs. • Slide the rear door pins off the end and then below the door track.
Maintenance Section 4 Step 15 Add the proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Sanitizer to the water trough. Model Q130 Q210 Q270 Amount of Sanitizer 1.6 ounces (48 ml) 2.2 ounces (66 ml) 1.9 ounces (57 ml) Step 16 Wait until the sanitize cycle is complete (approximately 22 minutes) then place the toggle switch in the OFF position, disconnect power and water supplies to the ice machine. ! Warning Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the electric switch box before proceeding.
Section 4 Maintenance CLEANING THE CONDENSER ! Warning Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the electric service switch before cleaning the condenser. Air-Cooled Condenser A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production and shortens component life. Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps below.
Maintenance Section 4 Removal From Service Winterization WATER-COOLED ICE MACHINES Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is to be removed from service for an extended period of time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or below. Perform steps 1-6 under “Self-Contained Air-Cooled Ice Machines.” ! Caution If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine in freezing temperatures, severe damage to some components could result.

Section 5 Before Calling for Service Checklist If a problem arises during operation of your ice machine, follow the checklist below before calling service. Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty. Problem Ice machine does not operate. Possible Cause No electrical power to the ice machine. ON/OFF/ WASH toggle switch set improperly. Damper in open position (down). Ice machine stops, and can be restarted by moving the toggle switch to OFF and back to ICE.
Before Calling for Service Problem Ice machine produces shallow or incomplete cubes, or the ice fill pattern on the evaporator is incomplete. Section 5 Possible Cause Ice thickness probe is out of adjustment. To Correct Adjust the ice thickness probe. Water trough level is to high or too low. Water float valve filter screen is dirty. Water filtration is poor. Hot incoming water. Check the water level. Remove and clean the filter screen. Replace the filter.
Section 5 SAFETY LIMITS General In addition to standard safety controls, the control board has two built in safety limit controls which protect the ice machine from major component failures. Safety Limit #1: If the freeze time reaches 60 minutes, the control board automatically initiates a harvest cycle. If three consecutive 60-minute freeze cycles occur, the ice machine stops. Safety Limit #2: If the harvest time reaches 3.
Before Calling for Service Section 5 Safety Limit #1 Freeze time exceeds 60 minutes for 3 consecutive freeze cycles. Possible Cause Improper installation Water system Electrical system Restricted condenser air flow (air-cooled models) Refrigeration system Check/Correct See “Installation Instructions” Section 2 of this manual Low water pressure (20 psi minimum.) High water pressure (80 psi maximum.) High water temperature (90°F/32.2°C maximum.
Section 5 Before Calling for Service Safety Limit #2 Harvest time exceeds 3.5 minutes for 3 consecutive harvest cycles. Possible Cause Improper installation Water system Electrical system Refrigeration system Check/Correct See “Installation Instructions” Section 2 of this manual Water area (evaporator) dirty Water freezing behind evaporator Low water pressure (20 psi minimum.
