REFRIGERATION SYSTEM START
A. Assure the water tank is properly filled. The CEV
will not operate without water in the tank.
B. Assure the voltage switch on the left side of the
control box is in the proper voltage position.
Selections are 115 Volts or 230 Volts.
C. Plug CEV power cord into an accessible,
properly grounded electrical outlet. A dedicated
circuit is strongly preferred to assure sufficient
starting and operating voltage is available to the
unit. Complete control box instructions may be
found in the Electronic Ice & Carbonation
Control section.
D. Place CEV power switch, carbonator switch (not
used on juice units) and compressor switch to
the “ON” position. The agitator motor will start,
the transformer for the valves will be energized,
the merchandiser bulb (if equipped), power
LED, carbonator LED, and compressor LED will
be illuminated.
When a full ice bank has been formed, the compressor
and condenser fan motor will stop, but the agitator motor
will continue to operate, circulating ice bath water in the
water tank. Turn the key switch to the “ON” position to
check all beverage valves for operation.
Recommended: Beverage pour temperature should be
maintained at a constant 40° F or below for optimum
brixing value. Time required to reach the proper
temperature will be subject to water and ambient air
temperatures.
NOTE: All CEV units are equipped with a 4-5 minute
delay before the compressor and fan motor start. Be
sure to observe this time delay before expecting the
compressor or condenser fan motor to start operation.
Any interruption of power to the unit, the time delay will
need to be observed before the compressor and fan
motor will start.
INCOMING WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Manitowoc Beverage Equipment recommends
that a water shutoff valve and water filter be installed in
the incoming water supply line.
The incoming water source to the equipment shall be
installed with adequate backflow protection to comply
with applicable National, State, and local codes.
Water pressure should be a minimum of 45 psi (310.3
KPa) or you will starve the pump of water and damage it.
The maximum water pressure should be 55 psi (379.2
KPa) or you will affect the quality of the carbonation.
The carbonator pump should be located within 6 feet of
a 1/2 inch water source. A minimum 3/8 inch ID water
line must be used. Before connection the water source
should be flushed of approximately 5 gallons of water to
purge the system of any sediments, especially in areas
of new construction.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN PAN HOSE
NOTE: Connection of the drain pan hose to a permanent
drain is recommended. A drain pan hose routed to a
waste container is not recommended due to sanitation
problems.
1. Open the end of the drain pan nipple by cutting at
the end of the barbed area along the provided
groove.
2. Connect hose to the nipple on the drain pan.
3. Install drain pan in position on the CEV, then place
grid in the drain pan.
4. Route lower end of drain pan hose to a permanent
drain and connect according to local codes.
NOTE: If no permanent drain is available the drain pan
may be emptied manually. All CEV’s come equipped
with a drain pan that may be removed by sliding it
forward. Nothing else needs to be removed to take the
drain pan off, empty it and replace it on the CEV. If this
drain pan is hooked to a permanent drain, the drain
nipple must be opened and connected to the drain hose
as described above.
