CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Introduction This manual has been compiled as a guide to installation, operation and maintenance of your new equipment. Please take the time to read it and familiarize yourself with your equipment and its operation. A serialized data tag is permanently attached to the unit. (See Figure 1 for example of data tag). Figure 1: Data Tag The model and serial number should be noted on the second page of this manual, in the spaces provided.
CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION 2.1 Unpacking Note: Before unpacking the unit, verify that the machine model is correct and that there is no damage to the outer packaging. If the outer packaging is in good condition, proceed to unpack the unit by following these steps: Note: this machine is heavy! Use a mechanical hoist or the help of two people to lift if necessary. 1. Carefully remove all external wrappings and other protective coverings, including the white plastic coverings on the panels.
Sides Back Front 15.0 cm [5.90 in] 20.0 cm [7.87 in] 30.0 cm [11.81 in] • Installation site must be leveled. Adjustable feet at the bottom of the machine are provided to level the unit. • The installation site must be capable of supporting the weight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice. • The installation site may not be next to heat-generating equipment or in direct sunlight.
• Inlet Pipe Diameter must be larger than 9.5 mm [3/8 inch]. • Drain Pipe Diameter must be larger than 15.8mm [5/8 inch] and drop 3 cm per meter [3/8 inches per foot]. DRAIN PIPE INSTALLATION NOTE: To prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice machine and storage bin the following rules must also be complied with: 1.) No point in the drain pipe shall be higher than the drain outlet from the ice machine. 2.
CHAPTER 3 – OPERATION 3.1 Pre-startup Check Prior to starting up the unit for the first time or restarting the unit after extended shutdown, it is important to confirm that all of the installation requirements are met. Please refer back to “CHAPTER 2 - Installation” section and verify that all requirements are met before proceeding. Make sure that all piping and drain connections are free of leaks. 3.2 Control Panel There are two types of control panels shown below; with and without voice warning system.
Cleaning switch 3.3 Sequence of Operation Working status display • Start up: Switch on the power at the control panel after the unit has been connected to the power and the water supply. The unit will start and function automatically if no problem is present. (Note: Please turn off the power supply in case of thunderstorms or a long period of inactivity.) • Once started, the ice machine will automatically make ice until the bin or dispenser is full of ice.
pushes the ice out and returns to its normal position. The ice harvests as a unit or slab, which makes some noise when it hits the bin or dispenser. These noises are all normal for this machine. • Shutdown: The machine stops when the switch on the control panel is switched off. • Automatic Shut-off: Ice will build up in the bin until the sliding board cannot be reset. After the machine has detected that the ice bin is full, the machine will automatically stop.
o Method II, Should the ice thickness not be satisfactory, the adjusting nut can be pulled up and rotated to the left or right until the desired thickness is achieved. Once this adjustment is complete, press down the adjustment device until it locks. Note: The adjustment should be limited to one rotation each time until desired thickness is achieved.
CHAPTER 4 –MAINTENANCE 4.1 Introduction To insure the most productive and trouble-free operation, a thorough periodic maintenance schedule is required. Prior to performing any maintenance, these instructions should be followed: • Before maintenance and repair, the power must be disconnected. • Maintenance and repair shall only be handled by qualified professionals. • This manual must be read in detail before performing maintenance or repair. 4.
B. Six-Monthly Maintenance • Clean condenser fins. A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production and shortens component life. Follow the steps below 1. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from top to bottom, not side to side or condenser fins could be damaged. 2. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains: A.
CHAPTER 5 - TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter will assist in a systematic check of components in determining potential cause of equipment failure. The following table lists the most common symptoms that may be experienced and the recommended corrective action.
