2. OPERATION - How it works
Water flows from the potable water source through the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve,
enters at the Water Inlet fitting and into the Water Reservoir. The Water Reservoir functions
to maintain a constant water level inside the Freezer Assembly. Water from the Water
Reservoir enters at the bottom of the Freezer. Heat is removed by the refrigeration process
and ice forms inside the Freezer.
A stainless steel Auger, located inside the Freezer, is direct-driven by the Gear Motor, and
the rotating Auger carries the ice upward to the end of the Auger, where excess water is
pressed out of the ice, as the ice is extruded and broken into cubelet ice (compressed ice)
and then pushed out into the Storage Bin.
Moving the Power Switch on the bottom left of the Middle Front Panel, to the “ON” position
starts the automatic and continuous icemaking process. When the Ice Storage Bin is filled
with ice, the Bin Control Switch will shut off the icemaking process. As the ice is removed
fromtheStorageBin,theBinControlSwitchresetsautomaticallyandrestartstheicemaking
process.
The Agitator in the Storage Bin keeps the ice from clustering so that the ice can move easily
through the Spout.

3. LOCATION
WARNING
This ice dispenser is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient
temperature should be within +45°F to +100°F; normal operating water
temperature should be within +45°F to +90°F. Operation of the ice dispenser,
for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect
production capacity.
IMPORTANT
Sunlight, direct and indirect, can have an effect on the operation of the
dispense sensors. If a problem is noticed, the machine should be moved out
of direct sunlight and/or farther away from any outside windows.
For best operating results:
• Ice dispenser should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing
equipment.
• Location should provide a firm foundation for the equipment. Level the ice dispenser from
side-to-side and front-to-rear
• Allow 6" clearance at rear and left side, 10" at right side and 20" at top for proper air
circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required.
• Avoid a site where dripping is not allowed.
4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• This ice dispenser must have a separate power supply or receptacle of proper capacity.
See the Nameplate.

5. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS - See Fig. 3
•Whenthewatersupplyisoff,orifthepressureisbelow10PSIG,theprotectioncircuitstops
the operation of the ice dispenser. Wait until the proper water pressure is reached.
• Water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT).
• A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed.
• Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG.
If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, use a pressure reducing valve.
• Drain outlet is 3/4" male pipe thread (MPT).
• The drains must have 1/4" fall per foot on horizontal runs to get a good flow.
• Keep more than a 2" air gap between drain pipe ends or hose ends and a sink or the like.
• A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.

6. FINAL CHECK LIST
1) Is the ice dispenser level?
2) Is the ice dispenser in a site where the ambient temperature is within +45°F to +100°F
all year around?
3) Is there at least 6" clearance at rear and left side, 10" at right side and 20" at top for
maintenance or service?
4) Have all shipping carton, tapes and packing been removed from the ice dispenser?
5) Are all components, fasteners and thumbscrews securely in place?
6) Have all electrical and piping connections been made?
7) Has the power supply voltage been checked or tested against the nameplate rating?
8) Are the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve and Drain Valve installed? Has the water

PSIG?
9) Have the compressor hold-down bolts and refrigerant lines been checked against
vibration and possible failure?
10) Has the Bin Control Switch been checked for correct operation? Lift the disk on the
bottom of the Storage Bin Cover. The Compressor should stop 90 sec. later, and the
Gear Motor 150 sec. later.

7. START UP
WARNING
1. All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may result in failure.
2. If the unit is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the ice
dispenser to prevent damage to the Compressor.
1) Clean the Storage Bin.
2) Open the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve.
3)PluginandmovethePowerSwitch, locatedontheleftbottomoftheMiddleFrontFrame,
to the “ON” position.
4) Move the Ice Making Switch, located on the Control Box, to the “ICE” position.
5) Check that water flows into the Reservoir and the Freezer Assembly:
• Water flows into the Reservoir through the Water Valve.
• Water flows into the Freezer bottom through the Feeder Tubing.
• The Float Switch trips to close the Water Valve.
6) Check the water supply and drain connections for water leaks.
7) After the Water Valve closed, the Gear Motor starts first, and then the Compressor starts
in approximately 60 sec. An automatic and continuous icemaking process starts.
8) In a few minutes, cubelet ice is extruded into the Storage Bin.
9) Check if there is any abnormal noise from the Compressor, the Fan Motor or the Gear
Motor after 30 minutes of running.
10) Activate the Sensor labeled “ICE” and the Solenoid Shutter Valve opens to dispense
ice.

8. PREPARING THE ICE DISPENSER FOR LONG STORAGE
IMPORTANT
When shutting off the ice dispenser for an extended time, drain out all water
from the water line and remove the ice from the Storage Bin. The Storage Bin
should be cleaned and dried. Drain the ice dispenser to prevent damage to
the water supply line at sub-freezing temperatures, using air or carbon
dioxide. Shut off the ice dispenser until the proper ambient temperature is
resumed.
1) Close the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve.
2) Move the Ice Making Switch, located on the Control Box, to the “FLUSH” position.
3) Activate the Sensor for ice dispensing, and remove all ice from the Storage Bin.
4) Wait until all water is drained out into Drain Pan and then turn Power Switch to the “OFF”
Position.
5) Unplug the ice dispenser.

begin (60 seconds).
15) Pour clean warm water carefully onto the Bin Liner, Agitator, Drip Ring and into the
Reservoir through the opening in the center of the Storage Bin to melt the ice and rinse
out the cleaning solution.
16) After water has drained out of Drain Pan, turn Power Switch to the “OFF” position.
17) Wipe the Storage Bin Cover and Spouts (A) and (B) using a clean cloth containing the
cleaning solution.
18) Rinse the wiped parts with water. Be careful not to wet the Bin Control Switch on the
Storage Bin Cover.
CAUTION
Do not use ice produced with cleaning or sanitizing solutions. Be sure none
remains in the Storage Bin.
[b] SANITIZING PROCEDURE - Following Cleaning Procedure
1)Diluteapproximately1.5fl.oz.ofa5.25%SodiumHypochloritesolution(ChlorineBleach)
with 3 gal. of water.

11) Move the Ice Making Switch to the “FLUSH” position and let all water drain out through
the Drain Pan.
12) Press the Ice Push Button, and remove all ice from the Storage Bin.
13) Place the Top Panel in position.
14) Move the Ice Making Switch to the “ON” position.
2. EFFICIENT USE OF CUBELET ICE
1) When soggy ice is produced, keep removing it until good ice is produced. When the
ice in the Storage Bin is not used for a long time it may melt in the bin, becoming
somewhat soggy.
2) The agitator will turn slightly every 90 minutes to keep ice from melting together.
3) Within 50 to 60 minutes after the Ice Making Switch is turned on, the Storage Bin will
be filled with ice and peak performance will be reached.

3. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
This ice dispenser must be maintained individually, referring to the instruc-
tion manual and labels provided with the ice dispenser.
1) Stainless Steel Exterior
To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean and soft cloth. Use
a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
2) Air Filter - See Fig. 7
A plastic mesh air filter removes dirt or dust from the air, and keeps the Condenser from
getting clogged. As the filter gets clogged, the ice dispenser’s performance will be
reduced. Check the filter at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and
a neutral cleaner to wash the filter.
3) Condenser
Check the Condenser once a year, and clean if required by using a brush or vacuum
cleaner. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the location of the ice
dispenser.
