Introduction:

This product manual contains the information

needed for the setup, installation, initial start up,

sanitation and maintenance of this ice machine.

Keep it for future reference.
There are 3 models covered in this manual:

•

CME506R, a 115 volt, dual evaporator

machine

•

CME656R and CME806R, 230 volt, dual

evaporator machines

Be certain that the information applies to the model

in question. If no model is listed, the information

applies to all models, including A and D series.
This manual is organized in the same way as the

expected use of the machine, it begins with

specifications, goes thru unpacking and setup,

shows where everything is; continues with initial

start up, then describes how it works. After that is

the sanitation section, followed by service

diagnosis and repair.
