Thermostat calibrations

If ice maker is installed more than 2,000 feet

(600 m) above sea level, the Bin and Ice

Thickness Thermostats must be adjusted

to a warmer setting. Disconnect electricity,

remove thermostat, and follow the directions

for turning the altitude adjustment screw as

shown in the label on each thermostat.

Shipboard operation

When this ice maker is installed aboard a and the cutter grid. It keeps the water

ship, it may be necessary to purchase and flowing over the evaporator from spilling into

install a water deflector. The deflector hangs the storage bin area. Order the necessary

between the lower edge of the evaporator parts from your local ice maker dealer.

eneral Information

1. Lay carton on rear face and break open

bottom flaps.

2. Set carton upright with all four

flaps outward.

3. Lii carton up and off of machine.

4. Remove all tape and packaging

materials from the outside and inside

of the cabinet.

5. Remove the lower access panel by

removing the two screws securing the

grille at the bottom and the one screw at

the top, and lift it free of cabinet.

6. Turn the fan by hand to make certain it

moves freely.

7. Loosen thumb screws holding cutter grid

and water pan to “thumb tight.”

8. Replace the lower access panel and

the screws.

Utilities

(observe local codes)

Each installation is unique but will

require:

A cold water inlet of W (6 mm) OD soft

copper tubing and a shut-off valve.

2. A properly grounded 115 Volt, 60 Hz.,

AC only, 15 or 20 ampere electrical

circuit, installed in accordance with the

National Electrical Code and with local

codes and ordinances.

3. Either a gravity drain system or a sump

pump to lift the water to an existing drain.

Place unit so the front side will be com-

pletely unobstructed to provide proper

airflow.

2. Area should be well ventilated with

temperature above 55°F (13°C) and below

119°F (43°C). Best results are obtained

between 70°F (21“C) and 90°F (32°C).

3. Provisions for electricity, water, and drain

connections should be determined.

4. The unit may be closed in on the top and

three sides, but the front

MUST BE

unobstructed for air circulation and proper

operation. Installation should be such that

the cabinet can be moved forward for

servicing, if necessary.

level unit

After placing unit in position, check to

make certain the unit is level side-to-side

and front-to-back.

2. Accurate leveling is essential for proper

operation.

3. Unit should be shimmed so that it is solid

as well as level. The shims should be of

hard permanent type material such as

Masonite.

4. If you are installing this ice maker in a

commercial setting that requires National

Sanitation Foundation (NSF) installation

procedures, NSF requires that the ice

maker be sealed to the floor at the

bottom rail. For compliance with this NSF

sealing procedure, we recommend a

silicone-type sealer.

or the Plumber

Connect to water

(observe local codes)

1. Use W (6 mm) OD soft copper tubing for

the cold water supply.

2. Provide a convenient manual shut-off

valve in the water line.

3. Position the tubing so it can enter the

access hole located in the right hand rear

of the cabinet. The tubing should extend

beyond the cabinet front when the

cabinet is pushed back into position.

NOTES:

Always purge the water line before making

the final connection to the inlet of the water

valve to prevent possible water valve

malfunction.

After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing

to meet the connection at the water valve.

The garden hose threaded compression

fitting is found in the parts bag. This joint

provides a convenient disconnect for

service. Be sure the tubing is clear of

compressor to prevent rattle.

(observe local codes)

The unit is provided with a gravity drain.

The ideal installation has a standpipe

(1 Vi"

[32

the outlet of the drain tube. Refer to

figures for the proper location of the

standpipe.

3. It may be desirable to insulate drain line

thoroughly up to drain inlet.

Connect drain pump

When drain connection below the level of

the unit is not available, a drain pump may

be used to lift the water to an available

drain.

Install drain pump in rear compartment

shown. Attach pump in level position.

2. Plug power cord of ice maker into recep-

tacle on drain pump.

3. Plug power cord of drain pump into wall

receptacle.

NOTE:

Your ice maker may or may not

include a DRAIN PUMP. If your ice maker

model does not include a DRAIN PUMP,

one can be ordered from your dealer.

with a Baking Soda solution (2 tablespoons

[26

grams] soda to 1 quart [l liter] of warm

water). Rinse thoroughly.

Make certain the water is turned on.

Turn switch to the “ON” position.

IMPORTANT:

Allow unit to run for 3 hours

before expecting ice and for 24 hours before

trying to set the thickness control.

If installed more than 2,000 feet (600 m)

above sea level, see page 3 for thermostat

adjustments.

ings to Remember

l Water enters only during the defrost cycle.

Therefore the first cycle will be completed

without water in the system.

l As the room and water temperatures vary,

so will the amount of ice produced. This

means that higher operating temperatures

will result in reduced ice production.

l The unit will shut off when ice in the

storage bin touches the bin thermostat

well and will automatically cycle to keep

the bin full.

l The storage bin is not refrigerated and

some melting will occur. This also varies

with the room temperature.

l The unit needs good air circulation to

perform efficiently. Keep the front grille and

the condenser clean.

l The water system, including filter screen in

the water inlet solenoid valve, needs to be

cleaned periodically for good circulation.

Instructions are located on the inner

door panel.
