Sequence of Operation
The operation of the S Series ice dispenser can be divided
into three main operations. They are Dispenser Activation,
Ice Pick-Up and Ice Delivery.
DISPENSER ACTIVATION
Dispenser activation can be accomplished with a number of
different mechanisms.
•
Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) Activation
– User pushes
the Rocking Chute, which energizes a microswitch. The
energized microswitch engages the gearmotor.
•
Room Key Card Activation
– User places their hotel
room key card into a slot on the dispenser. The room key
card activates the microswitch. The user then presses the
Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) for ice dispense. This action
activates the gearmotor.
•
Coin Operated Activation
– User places one quarter
into dispenser. The quarter activates the coin mechanism.
The user then presses the Rocking Chute (Push for Ice)
for ice dispense. This action activates the gearmotor.
DANGER
Do not operate equipment that has been misused, abused,
neglected, damaged, or altered/modified from that of
original manufactured specifications. This appliance is
not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Do not allow children to play
with, clean or maintain this appliance without proper
supervision.
ICE PICK-UP
When the customer activates the dispenser, the gearmotor
inside the dispenser begins to turn.
The gearmotor shaft is attached to the paddle wheel inside
the bin of the dispenser. As the paddle wheel turns it picks
up ice from the dispenser bin. The paddle wheel will bring
the pocket containing the ice to the top of the travel area.
ICE DELIVERY
When the paddle wheel pocket reaches the top of its travel,
the ice falls from the paddle wheel to the ice chute opening
of the dispenser bin. The bin chute then directs the ice to the
door assembly dispensing 2-3 oz. of ice per second.
If the door closes before all the ice is dispensed, some ice
may be held back by the door assembly. If the door is open,
the ice will fall through the door and the ice chute. The ice
chute will direct the ice into the customer’s container.
NOTE: Dispense Opening: Height 11" (28 cm), Width 14"
(36 cm).
Model SFA-191/291 is equipped with an optional water
valve. When the water valve lever is pressed, water flows
through the system to the water valve nozzle.
