Automatic Operation
The following occurs when the toggle switch is in the ICE position:
•The ice machine control board counts the number of ice harvest cycles.
•The AuCS→A accessory interrupts the ice making mode and starts the cleaning (or sanitizing) mode when the harvest count equals the “Frequency of Cleaning” setting of the AuCS→A
•When the automatic cleaning (or sanitizing) cycle is complete (approximately 25 minutes, QDUAL 40 minutes), ice making resumes automatically, and the “Harvest Count” is reset to zero.
Important
Opening the curtain switch will interrupt the cleaning (or sanitizing) sequence. The sequence will resume from the point of interruption when the curtain
NOTE: The harvest count is reset after the AuCS→A cycle is completed. It cannot be reset by unplugging the modular wire, changing the switch position, power loss, etc.
Manual Start Operation
(QDUAL SEE PAGE
Step 1 Set the toggle switch to the OFF position after ice falls from the evaporator at the end of a Harvest cycle. Or, set the switch to the OFF position and allow the ice to melt off the evaporator.
CAUTION
Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator. Damage may result.
Step 2 To start the automatic cleaning system, move the toggle switch to the CLEAN position. The water will flow through the water dump valve and down the drain. The Clean light will turn on to indicate the ice machine is in Clean Mode.
The AuCS→A pump energizes automatically to add cleaner or sanitizer to the ice machine.
Step 3 The ice machine will automatically time out a ten minute cleaning or sanitizing cycle, followed by six rinse cycles,
Step 4 After the cleaning or sanitizing cycle stops, move the toggle switch to the ICE position.
Step 5 The ice machine may be set to start and finish a cleaning (or sanitizing) cycle, then automatically start ice making again.
You must wait about one minute into the cleaning cycle (until water starts to flow over the evaporator), then move the toggle switch from CLEAN to ICE position.
When the cleaning (or sanitizing) cycle is completed, an ice making sequence will start automatically.
Important
The Q1400C ice machine can not perform step 5. The toggle switch position must be changed from CLEAN to ICE after the AuCS→A cycle has been completed.
