USER MANUAL SPIKA
Harvest sequence:
The compressor will continue energized. The hot gas valve is energized throughout the harvest
phase to divert hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The water pump and the drain electrovalve are energized during
45 seconds to empty the water tray and remove mineral deposits. After this (water pump and drain electrovalve de-
energized) the water inlet valve is energized filling the water tray until the water level sensor detects water reaches
the level. The ice slab slides off the evaporator and into the bin. The momentary opening and re-closing of the shield
indicates the harvest sequence has finished and goes to the freeze sequence.
When the storage bin is full, the ice shield is held open during more than 30 seconds and the machine shuts off. The ice
machine remains off until enough ice has been removed from the storage bin to allow the ice shield swings back to the
operating position
Maintenance and Cleaning Procedures
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition.
Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical
dissolves mineral build up that forms during the ice making process.
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine is cleaned and
sanitized.
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized at least twice a year.
CAUTION:
Do not mix Ice Machine Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions together.
WARNING: Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles when handling Ice Machine Cleaner or Sanitizer.
WARNING: Unit should always be disconnected during maintenance/cleaning procedures.
CLEANING WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
(1) Cleaning Water Distribution System for Undercounter Models
1) Set the 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.
2) Remove the back metal lid and the top panel (if it need be to make easier the cleaning operations).
