10.Operating Instructions - FCI 40 - 60 - 85 Only (For FCI 20-30 see previous section)

10.1 Start Up

After having correctly installed the ice maker and completed the plumbing and electrical connections, perform the following “Start-up” procedure.

A.Remove the unit front panel and locate the control box.

B.Through the control box cover locate the grooved head (similar to a fillister screw head) of the electronic program selector.

With the help of a regular screwdriver turn the selector head in the OPERATION position. (The screwdriver bit must fit the head slot end to end, this to avoid damage to the selector head slot).

C.Give power to the unit to start it up by switching ‘ON’ the power line main disconnect switch.

NOTE: Every time the unit returns under power, after having been switched off, both the water inlet valve and the hot gas valve get energized for a period of 5 minutes, thus to admit new water to the machine sump reservoir to fill it up and, eventually, to wash-off any dirt that can have deposited in it during the unit off period (Fig.1).

D.During the water filling operation, check to see that the incoming water dribbles through the evaporator platen dribbler holes, down into the sump reservoir to fill it up and also that the incoming surplus of water flows out through the overflow pipe into the drain line.

During the water filling phase the components energized are:

THE WATER INLET SOLENOID VALVE THE HOT GAS SOLENOID VALVE THE WATER DRAIN SOLENOID VALVE (On request)

NOTE: If in the 5 minutes length of the water filling phase the machine sump reservoir does not get filled with water up to the rim of the overflow pipe, it is advisable to check:

1.The water pressure of the water supply line that must be at least 1 bar (14 psig) Minimum (Max 5 Bar-70 psig).

2.The filtering device installed in the water line that may reduce the water pressure below the Minimum value of 1 bar (14 psig).

3.Any clogging situation in the water circuit like the inlet water strainer and/or the flow control.
