Initial Start Up and Maintenance
1.
Turn the water supply on.
2.
Switch the electrical power on. Confirm voltage
is correct for the model.
3.
Push and release the On button. The machine
will start in about two minutes.
4.
Soon after starting, air cooled models will begin
to blow warm air out the back of the cabinet
and water cooled models will drain warm water
from the condenser drain tube. Remote
models will be discharging warm air from the
remote condenser. After about 5 minutes, ice
will begin to drop into the bin or dispenser.
5.
Check the machine for unusual rattles. Tighten
any loose screws, be sure no wires are rubbing
moving parts. Check for tubes that rub.
6.
Fill out the warranty registration form and either
file it on line or mail it.
7.
Notify the user of the maintenance
requirements and whom to call for service.
Maintenance
This ice machine needs five types of maintenance:
•
Air cooled and remote models need their air
filters or condenser coils cleaned regularly.
•
All models need scale removed from the
water system.
•
All models require regular sanitization.
•
All models require sensor cleaning.
•
All models require a top bearing check.
Maintenance Frequency:
Air filters: At least twice a year, but in dusty or
greasy air, monthly.
Scale removal. At least twice a year, in some water
conditions it might be every 3 months. The yellow
De-Scale & Sanitize light will switch on after a set
period of time as a reminder. The default time
period is 6 months of power up time.
Sanitizing: Every time the scale is removed or as
often as needed to maintain a sanitary unit.
Sensor Cleaning: Every time the scale is removed.
Top bearing check: At least twice a year or every
time the scale is removed.
Maintenance: Air filters
1. Pull air filter(s) from panel.
2. Wash the dust and grease off the filter(s).
3. Return it(them) to their original position(s).
Do not operate the machine without the filter in
place except during cleaning.
Maintenance: Air cooled condenser
If the machine has been operated without a filter
the air cooled condenser fins will need to be
cleaned.
They are located under the fan blades. The
services of a refrigeration technician will be
required to clean the condenser.
Maintenance: Remote air cooled condenser
The condenser fins will occasionally need to be
cleaned of leaves, grease or other dirt. Check the
coil every time the ice machine is cleaned.
Maintenance: Exterior Panels
The front and side panels are durable stainless
steel. Fingerprints, dust and grease will require
cleaning with a good quality stainless steel cleaner
Note: If using a sanitizer or a cleaner that contains
chlorine on the panels, after use be sure to wash
the panels with clean water to remove chlorine
residue.
Maintenance: Water filters
If the machine has been connected to water filters,
check the cartridges for the date they were
replaced or for the pressure on the gauge. Change
cartridges if they’ve been installed more than 6
months or if the pressure drops too much during
ice making.
