Installation Instructions
Fig 18.

5.Check and tighten all bolts and screws.

6.Check for water leaks and make corrections.

7.Check the bin control to test shut-off.

Holding the evaporator deflector in open Position for more that 30secs, should cause the ice maker to shut-off at the end of harvest cycle. Once the evaporator deflector is released in its closed position, the ice maker will restart.

Installation Instructions

8.Check cube size, adjust if required through setting screw of ice thickness control sensor.

9.With unit out of operation, clean the condenser using vacuum, cleaner, whisk broom or brush. Instruct customer to clean condenser frequently DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH.

11.2Ice Storage Bin

The interior liner of the bin is in contact with a food product, ice, and should be cleaned regularly. Once a week clean with soap and water, and after that a hot water rinse and dry thoroughly. Commercial food grade sanitisers are available, and may be used.

11.3Cabinet Exterior

Wipe clean unit and bin cabinet exterior with a clean cloth or disposable paper wipers, soaked in warm water with mild detergent solution.

11.4Cleaning - Ice Maker

WARNING - Ice Machine Cleaner contains Phosphoric and Hydroxyacetic acids. These compounds are corrosive and may cause burns. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk. Call physician immediately. In case of external contact, flush with water.

KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

1.Empty bin of ice.

2.Remove front panel.

3.Switch the Master switch power line and Unit Toggle switch OFF

4.Remove evaporator cover deflectors by lifting-up and pulling-up.

5.Switch the Master switch power line ON. Pour 200grs of Ice Machine Cleaner into the reservoir and put the unit toggle switch to WASH position. Run unit for 15 minutes.

6.Using correct brush clean the interior of each evaporator egg-crate using the cleaning solution from the water reservoir.

7.Switch to OFF, remove the drain plug from the water reservoir to flush cleaning solution out of the reservoir. Replace the plug and allow fresh water through float valve to fill-up the reservoir to thoroughly rinse it.

8.Repeat the reservoir flushing out two or three times.

9.Switch the toggle switch to ICE position.

10.Replace the evaporator cover deflector and front panel.

11.Check the next batch of cubes to be sure all the cleaner has gone (no sour taste).

CAUTION: DO NOT use ice cubes produced from the cleaning solution. Be sure none remains in the bin.

12.Pour hot water into the storage bin to melt the cubes, and to also clean the bin drain.

12.Assembly Instructions of Conveyor Kits for Ice Machines to be fitted on Storage Bin

1.Fit the cover kit on the storage bin of 300kg (as indicated in Fig. 1) and put the lower ice maker on the bin as indicated in the instruction manual.

2.Remove the cover and the 4 bushes (No.3) of the lower ice maker (Fig. 2), then apply the support gaskets No.4.

3.Remove the front and the 2 lateral panels of the lower ice maker and fit the conveyor support No.5 (Fig. 3).

4.Fit the conveyor kit (No.7 - Fig. 4).

5.Apply the upper ice maker after having removed the front and the 2 lateral panels and fix it to the lower ice maker through 2 screws on the lateral edges.

6.Hook the shoot conveyor (No.10 - Fig. 6) at the edge of the upper ice maker water pan and fix it to the vertical conveyor No.7, previously fitted on the lower ice maker (as indicated on Fig. 6).

7.Connect the upper ice maker micro to the conveyor kit as explained on Fig. 5 and on the enclosed wiring diagram.

8.Place back the panels previously removed.

installation

1NoteBefore installing the machine make sure that:

a)the room temperature must not fall below 10˚c (50˚F) or above (100˚F).

b)the water conductivity value must not be below 10 µs/cm.

c)the main water temperature must not fall below 5˚C (40˚F) or above

35˚C (95˚ F).

d)the main water pressure must not fall below 1bar. (14 PSI) or above 5 bar. (70 PSI). If pressure is above 5 bar. a pressure regulator should be fitted to

the water supply to the machine (Fig.11)

Fig 11.

e)machine is away from sources of heat and in a sufficiently ventilated area. A distance of at least 20cm must

be allowed

Fig 12.

between the

 

 

sides, back and

 

 

the walls of the

 

 

machines

 

 

(Fig.12, Fig.14).

 

 

f)the machine will not work with demineralized

water.

Fig 14.

Before bringing the icemaker into action perform the following operations:

1)Check that ice cuber has not been damaged during transportation (Fig.1)

 

Fig 1.

 

2) Match the icemaker to

 

its storage bin, fixing them

 

with the two screws

Fig 20.

supplied with the machine

 

(Fig.20).

3)Clean the inside of machine and storage bin by means of a warm water and sodium-bicarbonate dampened sponge; rinse with plain water and dry thoroughly.

4)Locate the icemaker and

the storage bin in the final place, making sure that the two are perfectly level, in order to obtain an even distribution of the water all over the evaporator and a uniform filling of the cube plate (Fig.13).

The storage bin is equipped with adjustable feet, which

allow for easy levelling andFig 13. sufficient height for cleaning

under the machine.

Fig 16.

Fig 17.

5)Unlock the sensor and the baffle by removing the transit packaging 1and tape 2, which have been applied to avoid any damage during transportation (Fig.16 & Fig.17).

6)The icemaker has been designed for coupling with another icemaker, which can be installed on the top of the first one. For this installation, a kit can be supplied upon request. It contains all necessary assembling instructions.

7)Do not put the machine in a dusty environment as this could cause a fast build up of dust etc, therefore effecting the efficient working of the condenser (only for air-cooled models).

8)Never keep food, bottles or other things in the bin in order to avoid the stored ice becoming tainted.

9)Connect machine to the water supply first and then to a suitable electricity supply.

10)Connect the 3/4" Feeding pipe (supplied) to the machine and to the cold drinking water supply line. It is advisable to install a shut-off valve (not supplied) to the water feed pipe. If the feed water contains impurities, the installation of a filter system is

recommended. If the

water is particularly hard, i.e.

rich in minerals and their derivatives, the application of a suitable water filter is recommended, preventing any scale deposits blocking the water circuit of the machine (Fig.18).

11)Fit the flexible drain pipes to the icemaker and the storage bin ensuring there is adequate fall on the pipes to avoid the drain water backing up. For a perfect water outlet from the machine a minimum incline of 3% of the pipes is advisable. Check also that the pipes are not throttled or siphoned. It is advisable that the pipes discharge in an open vented drain (Fig.18).

12)Connect the machine to the electricity supply after having checked that the voltage corresponds to that on the plate

Fig 5.

on the rear panel of

 

the machine (Fig.5).

The maximum voltage variation should not exceed ± 6% of that stated on the rating plate. A fused isolator must be included in the electrical circuit to the machine, with its own bipolar main switch at least 3 mm. of contacts opening. The machine should be connected to a suitable power supply with earth terminal.

Fig 24.

13)Air deflector installation. (Fig.24) The deflector has to be installed in order to prevent the re-circulation of hot air to the condenser.
