Start Up

Pre-Start Inspection:

1.Remove the front and side service panels.

2.Check that any shipping blocks have been removed.

3.Inspect the interior of the ice machine for loose screws or wires.

4.Check that no refrigerant lines are rubbing each other.

5.Check that the fan blades turn freely (Remote Condenser).

6.Check that the refrigerant lines are properly installed.

7.Check that the electrical power has been on for at least 4 hours and that the compressor dome is warm.

8.Check that the unit is installed correctly according to the final check list.

Start Up:

1.Go through the pre-start inspection.

2.Open the hand valve, observe that water enters the water reservoir, fills the tube from the water reservoir to the evaporator and then shuts off. (Water cooled only, Turn the water supply ON to the water cooled condenser). Check for leaks.

3.Open the King Valve.

4.Switch the master switch ON. The electrical start up sequence in automatic.

a.There should be a short (15 second) delay before the gear motor starts and the liquid line opens.

b.After the liquid line opens, the low pressure control will close and the compressor will start.

5.The remote condenser fan turns, and the condenser begins to discharge warm air.

6.The unit should soon be making ice, if desired; the low side pressure may be checked: it should be 32 psig +/- 2 psig.

The air cooled discharge pressure will depend upon air and water temperatures, but should be between 200 psig and 280 psig.

7.There are no adjustments to make, so replace the panels.

8.Clean and/or sanitize the storage bin interior, wipe off the exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

9.Give the owner/user the service manual, instruct him/her in the operation of the unit, and make sure they know who to call for service.

10.Fill out the manufacturer’s registration and mail it to Ice-O-Matic.
