C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Installation: Product Specifications Location Limitations: The product is designed to be installed indoors, in a controlled environment. Air cooled models discharge very warm air into the room out the back. Space must be allowed at the left side and back for air intake and discharge. Water cooled models discharge warm water into the building’s drain. Space needs to be provided on both sides and above for service access.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Product Information The product is a modular cuber. That type of machine is designed to be placed on an ice storage bin or an ice dispenser. Many installations only require the matching bin, but some also require an adapter to be placed between the bin and the cuber or between the dispenser and the cuber. This product cannot be stacked. See the chart for application information. Some installations require bin adapters. See the table below.

C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Water The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and ultimately on the life of the product. There are two ways water can contain impurities: in suspension or in solution. Suspended solids can be filtered out. In solution or dissolved solids cannot be filtered, they must be diluted or treated. Water filters are recommended to remove suspended solids.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Panel Removal 1. Locate and loosen the two screws at the bottom edge of the front panel. 2. Pull the front panel out at the bottom. 3. Lower the front panel down and off the machine. 4. Remove two screws at front edge of top panel. 5. Lift up the front of the top panel, push it back an inch, then lift to remove. 6. Locate and loosen the screws holding each side panel to the base. 7. Pull the side panel forward to release it from the back panel.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Uncrate and Set Up Begin with unpacking the ice storage bin. Remove the carton, and using part of the carton as a cushion, tip the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the legs or casters. Open door to access On and Off switch buttons. Note: Turn the leg levelers in all the way and adjust after the ice machine is on top and in its selected location. Return the bin to an upright position.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Plumbing Requirements All models require connection to cold, potable water. A hand actuated valve within site of the machine is required. Air cooled models have a single 3/8” FPT inlet water connection. Water cooled models have a 1/2" FPT drain fitting plus an additional 3/8” FPT condenser inlet water connection. Water Filters If connecting to water filtration, filter only the water to the reservoir, not to the condenser.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Drains All models require drain tubing to be attached to them. Air cooled models have a single ¾” FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. Water cooled models have the same fitting plus an additional ½” FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice machine, as the tubing will have been sized for the old model and might not be correct for this one. 1. Connect water supply to water inlet fittings.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Electrical The machine is not supplied with a power cord, the machine should be hard-wired. The dataplate on the back of the cabinet details the power requirements, including voltage, phase, minimum circuit ampacity and maximum fuse size. Ground Wire Connection HACR type circuit breakers may be used in place of fuses. Extension cords are not permitted. Use of a licensed electrician is recommended.

When both curtains reclose the controller returns the unit to a freeze cycle. 2. Switch on the electrical power to the machine. Observe that some of the control’s indicator lights glow and its display shows O. 9. Check the ice harvested for proper bridge thickness. The ice bridge is factory set at 3/16 inch.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Adjustments Bridge Thickness - For Service Tech Only 1/8 - 3/16” bridge 1. Push and hold Off till the machine stops. 2. Remove evaporator cover. 3. Remove curtain. 4. Use a box wrench and rotate the bridge thickness adjustment screw in 1/8 turn increments CW to increase bridge thickness. 5. Rotate CCW to decrease bridge thickness. Caution: Do not make the bridge too thin or the machine will not harvest properly.

C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance This ice system requires three types of maintenance: • Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors. • Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin or dispenser. • Clean or replace the air filters and clean the air cooled condenser (air cooled models only). It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual 11. Wash the sensor and the adjustment screw with ice machine scale remover solution, rinse with clean water. Also wash the water distributor and curtain with the ice machine cleaner solution. Squeeze tabs together, slide out until it stops, then lift to remove. 14. Create a solution of sanitizer. Mix 8 ounces of NuCalgon IMS II and 5 gallons of 105-115 degree F. potable water to create a 200 ppm active quaternary solution. 15.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual Air cooled condenser filter 1 Pull air filters from their louvered mounts. Exterior Panels 2 Wash the dust and grease off the filter. The front and side panels are durable stainless steel. Fingerprints, dust and grease will require cleaning with a good quality stainless steel cleaner. 3 Return them to their original positions. Do not operate the machine without the filter in place except during cleaning.
C1448, C1848 D Air and Water Cooled User Manual What to do before calling for service Reasons the machine might shut itself off: • Lack of water. • Freeze cycle takes too long. • Harvest cycle takes too long. • High discharge temperature. • Controller self test failure. Check the following: 1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or building been shut off? If yes, the ice machine will automatically restart within 25 minutes after water begins to flow to it. 2.
