Final Check List
1. Is the ice maker cabinet in a room where ambient
temperatures are within the minimum and maximum
temperatures specified?
2. Has the water supply been connected?
3. Is the water pressure adequate?
4. Have the water connections been checked for water
leaks?
5. Have the drain connections been made?
6. Have the drain connections been checked for leaks?
7. Is the cabinet level?
8. Is the ice machine connected to an electrical power
supply of the proper voltage and is the ice machine the
only load on that circuit?
9. Has all of the shipping material been removed from
the inside of the cabinet? Check for materials between
the cube deflector and the water troughs. Be sure the
cube deflector is in place.
10. Has the bin and cabinet been wiped clean and
sanitized?
Initial Start Up
1. Remove two screws and the right grill.
2. Locate the AutoIQ Controller.
3. Plug the machine in or switch on the electrical power.
Note that the controller’s indicator lights all flash on
briefly when power is connected.
4. Open the water supply valve to the machine.
5. Push and release the Freeze cycle push button (the
Freeze indicator light will blink until the compressor
starts).
•
The Freeze light begins to blink.
•
The Hot Gas Solenoid valve will be open.
•
The inlet water valve opens to fill the reservoir
and shuts off when the reservoir is full. Note: If
the reservoir does not fill the next steps do not
happen.
•
The water pump starts. Note: if the pump does
not start the next steps do not happen.
•
The inlet water valve opens again to refill the res-
ervoir.
•
After 30 seconds, the hot gas valve closes and the
compressor starts.
Freeze Cycle:
The Freeze indicator light will come on. The machine
will stay in a Freeze cycle for many minutes. Slush may
appear in the reservoir, it is temporary and normal.
Under certain conditions, the pump may stop for a few
seconds. After that the inlet water valve will refill the
reservoir.
The fan motors (of air cooled models) will begin to turn
and soon warm air will be forced out the front of the
cabinet. After 4 minutes the fan motors may cycle on
and off every 30 seconds in cooler ambients.
As the freeze cycle progresses, the water level will fall
and the inlet water valve will open to refill the reservoir.
This will happen twice every cycle.
The freeze cycle will continue until the water level in the
reservoir has fallen again to its factory set point, then the
AutoIQ Controller may switch the air cooled fan off.
After a short time, the Harvest Cycle will begin.
Harvest Cycle:
•
The Harvest indicator light will be ON,
•
The hot gas valve will open.
•
The water pump will stop. It will restart in less
than a minute.
•
The Inlet water valve will open. The machine
will fill the reservoir and overflow it for a speci-
fied number of seconds then shut off. The harvest
cycle may still be in progress.
•
The Bin Full indicator light will go on and off as
ice falls from the evaporators.
6. Observe ice harvest. Check that the ice slides easily
into the bin, and does not hang up on any mis-positioned
part.
7. After about 5 minutes the machine will return to a
freeze cycle.
Note: The first 1-2 harvest cycles will be very long to
establish a typical harvest time.
8. Replace the front grill.
