ACTIVATING THE MACHINE
Implement the following operations before activating the ice
maker:
1) look at the pictures:
a) remove the cover by loosening the relative fastening
screws.
b) release the gear motor, the blades and the float (where
applicable) by removing the factory-set stops 1, 2 and
3, which have been fixed to prevent damage during
transport (fig. 16). For the water-cooled models
connect also the second fitting to the water outlet,
which conveys the water coming from the condenser.
Implement a minimum inclination of 3% to the pipes for
perfect water flow from the appliance, ensuring that these
have no narrowing sections and are not siphoned. It is
advisable that the pipes drain into an open siphon (fig. 15).
2) Connect the machine to the power supply after having
verified that the mains voltage corresponds to that on the
serial number plate on the rear panel of the appliance.
The maximum voltage variation tolerance allowed is ±
10% of the rated value.
Provide a power supply circuit to the machine, with its
own bipolar main switch and a minimum of 3 mm contact
opening. The machine should also have its own fuse or
automatic protection and an earthed plug. All must be
sized according to the amperage indicated on the serial
number plate (fig. 19). The socket must be easily
accessible.
OPERATION
Simply press the ON/OFF button
to start and stop the
machine.
Alarm signals for air / water models
- Overheating condenser: the machine restarts
automatically once the alarm has been resolved. The
cause may be due to: clogged air filter, faulty fan, room
temperature too high, no water (only in the water
version).
- Water error: if there is no water, the machine restarts
automatically 60 minutes after the alarm is triggered.
N.B.: You can exit from the alarm status after having
disconnected / connected the power supply
(ON/OFF button).
The machine stops when the container is full. The sensor
of the container is controlled by the control board and
stops the machine when the ice comes in contact with it.
The machine stops at the end of the defrosting cycle.
The Icematic ice cube makers can be easily adapted to the
furnishing of every room.
The ice cubes are formed around the fingers of the evaporator,
inside a tray filled with water and continuously moved by
revolving blades.
The level of the water in the tray is kept constant by a float
connected to a microswitch that controls the opening and
closing of a water inlet electrovalve of the water supply.
When the ice cubes reach the required dimensions, they come
in contact with the revolving blades that cause the relative
gear motor to swing, which stresses a micro switch and
simultaneously causes the following through a relay:
-
the delivery of hot gas to the evaporator by an electrovalve
opening, which leads to the cubes gradually dropping off
the fingers of the evaporator.
-
the tilting of the water tray connected by means of a lever
to a gear motor.
The cubes drop and slide on a slanting grid inside the tray and
are conveyed into the container beneath.
The remaining water in the tray is collected into the relative
pan on one side of the container and conveyed towards the
drain. The tray automatically returns to its horizontal position
after about a minute and fills with water till the pre-set level. In
the meantime, the hot gas valve closes and the ice forming
cycle proceeds smoothly; a complete cycle can vary from
about 15’ to about 25’ depending on the water and room
temperatures.
The quantity of ice inside the container is controlled by the
electronic sensor fixed on one side of the container itself;
when the ice cubes reach the level of the bulb, the machine
stops completely. After removing enough ice from the
container for no cubes to be in contact with the bulb, the
appliance will resume its normal production.
The RESET button has the following functions (

):
1. Reset maintenance alert
2. Reset the start of the wash cycle (refer to instructions)
