INTRODUCTION

To the owner or user: This service manual  is
intended to provide you, and the maintenance or
service technician, with the information needed to
install, start up, clean, maintain and repair this
product.

The AF300 is an ice machine that produces flaked
ice and stores it in a insulated bin. It automatically
maintains the level of ice by turning on when the
ice level falls and switches off when it is full.

This unit in serviceable in place; the ice storage
bin and hood may be removed from the chassis to
allow service access without removing the ice
machine from its installed location. The
refrigeration system uses R-22 as the refrigerant.
