GENERAL INFORMATION
AND INSTALLATION
A. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides the specifications and the step-by-step procedures for the installation, startup and operation, maintenance and cleaning for the SIMAG SDE Series Icemakers.
The SIMAG SDE cubers are quality designed, engineered and manufactured.
Their ice making systems are thoroughly tested providing the utmost in flexibility to fit the needs of a particular user.
NOTE. To retain the safety and performance built into this icemaker, it is important that installation and maintenance be conducted in the manner outlined in this manual.
B. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
1.
Call your authorized SIMAG Distributor or
Dealer for proper installation.
2.
Visually inspect the exterior of the packing and skid. Any severe damage noted should be reported to the delivering carrier and a concealed damage claim form filled in subjet to inspection of the contents with the carrier’s representative present.
3.
a) Cut and remove the plastic strip securing the carton box to the skid.
b) Remove the packing nails securing the carton box to the skid.
c) Cut open the top of the carton and remove the polystyre protection sheet.
d) Pull out the polystyre posts from the corners and then remove the carton.
4.
Remove the front and the rear panels of the unit and inspect for any concealed damage.
Notify carrier of your claim for the concealed damage as stated in step 2 above.
5.
Remove all internal support packing and masking tape.
6.
Check that refrigerant lines do not rub against or touch other lines or surfaces, and that the fan blades move freely.
7.
Check that the compressor fits snugly onto all its mounting pads.
8.
See data plate on the rear side of the unit and check that local main voltage corresponds with the voltage specified on it.
CAUTION. Incorrect voltage supplied to
the icemaker will void your parts replacement program.
9.
Remove the manufacturer’s registration card from the inside of the User Manual and fillin all parts including: Model and Serial Number taken from the data plate.
Forward the completed self-addressed registration card to SIMAG factory.
C. LOCATION AND LEVELLING
2.
WARNING. This Ice Maker is designed for indoor installation only. Extended periods of operation at temperature exceeding the following limitations will constitute
Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty resulting in LOSS of warranty coverage.
1.
Position the machine bin in the selected permanent location and tighten the four legs
(SDE 30- 34 - 40 - 50 - 64 - 84 - 170 - 220).
Criteria for selection of location include: a) Minimum room temperature 10 °C (50°F) and maximum room temperature 40°C (100°F).
b) Water inlet temperatures: minimum 5°C
(40°F) and maximum 40°C (100°F).
c) Well ventilated location for air cooled models (clean the air cooled condenser at frequent intervals).
d) Service access: adequate space must be left for all service connections through the rear of the ice maker. A minimum clearance of 15 cm
(6") must be left at the sides of the unit for routing cooling air drawn into and exhausted out of the compartment to maintain proper condensing operation of air cooled models.
NOTE. With the unit in “built-in” conditions, the ice production is gradually reduced in respect to the levels shown in the graph, up to a maximum of 10% at room temperatures higher than 32°C.
The daily ice-making capacity is directly related to the condenser air inlet temperature, water temperature and age of the machine.
To keep your
SIMAG CUBER at peak performance levels, periodic maintenance checks must be carried out as indicated on this manual.
Level the Icemaker in both the left to right and front to rear directions by means of the adjustable legs.
D. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
See data plate for current requirements to determine wire size to be used for electrical connections. All SIMAG icemakers require a solid earth wire.
All SIMAG ice machines are supplied from the factory completely pre-wired and require only electrical power connections to the wire cord provided at the rear of the unit.
Page 2
Make sure that the ice machine is connected to its own circuit and individually fused (see data plate for fuse size).
The maximum allowable voltage variation should not exceed -10% and +10% of the data plate rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning and may be responsible for serious damage to the overload switch and motor windings.
NOTE. All external wiring should conform to national, state and local standards and regulations.
Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s data plate before connecting the unit.
E. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
GENERAL
When choosing the water supply for the cuber consideration should be given to: a) Length of run b) Water clarity and purity c) Adequate water supply pressure
Since water is the most important single ingredient in producing ice you cannot emphasize too much the three items listed above.
Low water pressure, below 1 bar may cause malfunction of the ice maker unit.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to produce cloudy colored ice cubes, plus scale build-up on the interior parts of the water system.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect the 3/4" GAS male of the water inlet fitting, using the food grade flexible tubing supplied with the machine, to the cold water supply line with regular plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve installed in an accessible position between the water supply line and the unit.
If water contains a high level of impurities, it is advisable to consider the installation of an appropriate water filter or conditioner.
WATER SUPPLY - WATER COOLED MODELS
(SDE 84-170-220)
The water cooled versions of SIMAG Ice Makers require two separate inlet water supplies, one for the water making the ice and the other for the water cooled condenser.
Connect the 3/4" GAS male fitting of the water inlet, using the flexible tubing supplied with the unit, to the cold water supply line with regular plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve installed in an accessible position between the water supply line and the unit.
WATER DRAIN
Connect the drain fitting with a plastic tube to an open trapped and vented drain. When the drain is a long run, allow 3 cm pitch per meter (1/4" pitch per foot).
On water cooled versions, the water drain line from the condenser is internally connected with the drain fitting of the unit.
It is strongly recommended therefore to install a vertical open vent on unit drain line high point to ensure good draining and to direct the drain line to a trapped and vented floor drain receptacle.
NOTE. The water supply and the water drain must be installed to conform with the local code. In some case a licensed plumber and/ or a plumbing permit is required.
Page 3
F. FINAL CHECK LIST
1. Is the unit in a room where ambient temperatures are within a minimum of 10 °C
(50°F) even in winter months?
2. Is there at least a 15 cm (6") clearance around the unit for proper air circulation?
3. Is the unit level? (IMPORTANT)
4. Have all the electrical and plumbing connections been made, and is the water supply shut-off valve open?
5. Has the voltage been tested and checked against the data plate rating?
6. Has the water supply pressure been checked to ensure a water pressure of at least 1 bar
(14 psi)? Open the shut-off valve and verify the absence of water losses from the connections.
G. INSTALLATION PRACTICE
7. Have the bolts holding the compressor down been checked to ensure that the compressor is snugly fitted onto the mounting pads?
8. Check all refrigerant lines and conduit lines to guard against vibrations and possible failure.
9. Have the bin liner and cabinet been wiped clean?
10. Has the owner/user been given the User
Manual and been instructed on the importance of periodic maintenance checks?
11. Has the Manufacturer’s registration card been filled in properly? Check for correct model and serial number against the serial plate and mail the registration card to the factory.
12. Has the owner been given the name and the phone number of the authorized SIMAG Service
Agency serving him?
1. Hand shut-off valve
2. Water filter
3. Water supply line (flexible hose)
4. 3/4" GAS male fitting
5. Vented drain
6. Open trapped vented drain

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
START UP
After having correctly installed the ice maker and completed the plumbing and electrical connections, perform the following “Start-up” procedure.
A. Put the icemaker in operation by moving the unit master switch, located on the cabinet front, to the ON position.
T
NOTE. The icemaker control is factory set with the timer in defrost/harvest cycle.
w
The unit starts operating in the “defrost cycle” with the following components being activated:
THE WATER INLET SOLENOID VALVE
THE HOT GAS SOLENOID VALVE
THE CONTACTOR COIL (SDE84-170-220)
THE FAN MOTOR (only SDE30 ÷ 50) air cooled
THE COMPRESSOR
THE TIMER
B. During the water filling operation, check to see that the incoming water dribblers, through the evaporator platen dribbler holes, down into the sump reservoir to fill it up and also that the incoming surplus of water flows out through the overflow pipe into the drain line.
NOTE. If, in the defrost cycle length, the machine sump reservoir does not get filled with water up to the rim of the overflow pipe, remove the front panel and rotate the shaft of the timer so to cause the dropping of the two microswitches actuators into the beginning of the cam slot and check for:
1. The water pressure of the water supply line, it must be at least
1 bar (14 psig)
Minimum (Max 5 bar-70 psig).

OPERATIONAL CHECKS
C. At completion of the water filling phase the unit initiate automatically the first freezing cycle with the start up of (Fig.1):
COMPRESSOR
I.
Check the texture of ice cubes just released.
They have to be of the right size with a thickness of about 7 ÷ 8 mm.
If the ice cubes have not the correct size, wait for a second harvest before attempting any adjustment by setting the cube size control.
By rotating the control setting screw clockwise the ice cube thickness can be increased; on the contrary the thickness can be reduced by turning the setting screw counterclockwise.
If the ice cubes are shallow and cloudy, it is possible that the ice maker runs short of water during the freezing cycle second phase or, the quality of the supplied water requires the use of an appropriate water filter or conditioner.
J. With the icemaker in the harvest cycle, hold ice against the bin thermostat control bulb to test its shut off. This should cause the ice maker to shut OFF after 30 seconds, 1 minute at the most, namely when the control bulb temperature drops to reach +1°C.
NOTE. In case this test is performed during the freezing cycle, the unit will shut OFF only at the end of the freezing cycle.
Within minutes after the ice is removed from the sensing bulb, the bulb will warm up to reach + 4°C and consequently will cause the icemaker to restart from the harvest (defrost) cycle.
K. Instruct the owner/user on the general
operation of the ice machine and about
the cleaning and care it requires.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
In the SIMAG cube ice makers the water used to make the ice is kept constantly in circulation by an electric water pump which primes it to the spray system nozzles from where it is diverted into the molds of the evaporator.
A small quantity of the sprayed water freezes into ice; the rest of it cascades by gravity into the sump assembly below for recirculation.
FREEZING CYCLE
The hot gas refrigerant discharged out from the compressor reaches the condenser where, being cooled down, condenses into liquid. Flowing into the liquid line it passes through the drier filter, then it goes all the way through the capillary tube where, due to the heat exchanging action, it looses some of its heat content so that its pressure and temperature are lowered as well.
Next the refrigerant enters into the evaporator serpentine (which has a larger I.D. then the capillary) and starts to boil off; this reaction is emphasized by the heat transferred by the sprayed water.
The refrigerant then increases in volume and changes entirely into vapor.
The vapor refrigerant then passes through the suction accumulator (used to prevent that any small amount of liquid refrigerant may reach the compressor) and through the suction line. In both the accumulator and the suction line it exchanges heat with the refrigerant flowing into the capillary tube (warmer), before to be sucked in the compressor and to be recirculated as hot compressed refrigerant gas.
The freezing cycle is controlled by the evaporator thermostat (which has its bulb in contact with the evaporator serpentine) that determines the length of its first portion of the cycle.
When the temperature of the evaporator thermostat bulb drops to a pre-set value, the evaporator thermostat changes its contacts (from
3-4 to 3-2) suppling power to the finishing timer that takes the control of the second timed portion of the freezing cycle up to its completion.
The length of this second timed portion of the freezing cycle is pre-fixed and related to the setting of the upper part of the timer cam.
The electrical components in operation during the freezing cycle are:
COMPRESSOR
CONTACTOR COIL (SDN85-145-215)
FAN MOTOR (in air cooled version)
WATER PUMP
and during the second phase of freezing cycle
(Time mode) they are joined by the
TIMER
On the SDE64, SDE84, SDE170 and SDE220 air cooled the refrigerant head pressure, in the course of the freezing cycle, ranges between 8 ÷ 10 bars
SDE64, 8 ÷ 9,5 bars SDE84 and 15,5 ÷ 20 bars
SDE170-220 being controlled by the hi-pressure control.
When the discharge pressure rises up to a pre set value, the pressure control closes its electrical contacts suppling power to the
FAN MOTOR.
As soon as the discharged refrigerant pressure drops, the pressure control opens its contacts to temporarely de-energize the fan motor. On others air cooled models (SDE30 ÷ 50) the fan motor is constantly activated and retain the head pressure between 8 ÷ 10 bars (110 ÷ 140 psig).
On the models from SDE30 ÷ 64 water cooled version the same hi-pressure control is used to intermittently energize a water solenoid valve located on the water supply line to the condenser.
On the other models SDE84-170-220, in water cooled version, the discharge pressure is kept constant by the water regulating valve that meters the water flow to the condenser.
NOTE. In case of shortage/insufficient cooling water or air condenser dirty, the operation of the safety device by hand reset will stop the machine as soon as the temperature reach
70/75 °C (160/170 °F) or the corresponding pressure. After eliminated the cause of the stop,
put the machine in operation by pushing the reset button of the safety
thermostat or pressure switch across the holes in the down/right side of the front panel or removing it.
At the start of the freezing cycle the refrigerant suction or lo-pressure lowers rapidly to
(11 psig) SDE30 ÷ SDE84, 3,6 bars (50 psig)
SDE170 and 2,4 bars (34 psig) SDE220 then it declines gradually - in relation with the growing of the ice thickness - to reach, at the end of the cycle, approx. 0,1 bars (1,4 psig) SDE30 ÷ SDE84,
1,5 bars (21 psig) SDE170, and 1,3 bars (18
psig) SDE220 with the cubes fully formed in the cup molds.
The total length of the freezing cycle ranges from
18 to 20 minutes.
DEFROST OR HARVEST CYCLE
As the electric timer has carried the system throughout the second phase of freezing cycle, the defrost cycle starts.
NOTE. The length of the defrost cycle is predetermined by the setting of timer
.
In case it is possible to modify the defrost cycle length through its setting screw.
ATTENTION. The defrost period is the most critical for the icemaker main components expecially the compressor.
To avoid to abuse of them it is strongly recommended to limit the harvest cycle extension to 4 minutes at the most.
The electrical components in operation during this phase are:
COMPRESSOR

FAN MOTOR (only SDE30-50) air cooled
WATER INLET SOLENOID VALVE
HOT GAS SOLENOID VALVE
TIMER
The incoming water, passing through the water inlet valve and in its incorporated flow control
(outlet), runs over the evaporator platen and then flows by gravity through the dribbler holes down into the sump/reservoir.
The water filling the sump/reservoir forces part of the left-over water from the previous batch to run out to the waste through the overflow pipe. This overflow limits the level of the sump water which will be used to produce the next batch of ice cubes.
Meanwhile, the refrigerant as hot gas, discharged from the compressor, flows through the hot gas valve directly into the evaporator serpentine bypassing the condenser.
The hot gas circulating into the serpentine of the evaporator warms up the copper molds or the tips causing the defrost of the ice cubes. The ice cubes, released from the molds, drop by gravity onto a slanted grid chute, then through a curtained opening they fall into the storage bin.
At the end of the defrost cycle, both the hot gas and the water inlet valves close and the machine starts again a new freezing cycle.
NOTE. The wiring diagram shows the unit as it is in the Evaporator Thermostat mode of the
Freezing Cycle.

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
On air cooled models during the freezing cycle the discharge pressure is kept between 8 ÷ 10 bars (110 ÷ 140 psig) SDE30 ÷ SDE84, 15,5 ÷ 20 bars
(215 ÷ 280 psig) SDE170-220.
At the same time the suction pressure will gradually decline, reaching its lowest point just before harvest. Compressor amps experience a similar drop.
•
After ice is removed from the bin and its bulb warm-up it allows the unit to restart from the beginning of the harvest cycle which, in the circumstance, is more likely a water filling cycle.
D. TIMER
Equipped with two DIP switch and a Potentiometer.
it is located inside the control box.
.
The function of the timer begins when activated by the cube size control (evap. thermostat).
The large diameter lobe of its cam determines the 2nd freezing cycle portion length, while the cam sall diameter lobe, determines the time cycle for the harvest sequence
Potentiometer used to adjust the defrost time from 60" min to 180" max.
•
longer than 4 minutes as this will jeopardize the compressor motor windings.
It goes without saying that an extension of the defrost period will directly reduce the timed portion of the freezing cycle and viceversa.
Consequently any variation made at the timer requires a compensation adjustment, very fine and very accurate, of the evaporator thermostat.
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
A. MASTER SWITCH
Fitted on the front side of the unit cabinet the master switch has to be used to start-up and to stop the ice maker operation.
In connection with it there is the green monitor light.
B. EVAPORATOR THERMOSTAT
The evaporator thermostat with its sensing bulb intimately in contact with the refrigerant outlet tube from the evaporator, senses the evaporating refrigerant temperature (which declines in the course of the freezing cycle) and when this one reaches the pre-set value, it switches its contacts from 3-4 to 3-2 to activate the finishing cycle (2nd phase) which has a pre-set determined by the electronic timer.
E. COMPRESSOR DIP SWITCH
The compressor DIP switch is located on the Timer of the control box and it can be switched in two different positions which are:
Operation Supply power directly to the compressor motor.
.
.
Cleaning
Shuts-off the compressor so that only the water pump and the water inlet valve will remain in operation.
When positioned on “0 - OFF” the water pump primes the cleaning or the bactericide solution allover the unit water system to generate a good cleaning and sanitizing action of the ice maker.
NOTE. It is recommended to avoid the rinsing, after the sanitation of the unit water system, as any bactericide coating, which is beneficial to limit the bacteria growth, left-over in the system may be removed.
C. BIN THERMOSTAT
The bin thermostat, which has its sensing bulb downward into the storage bin, shuts-OFF automatically the icemaker when the ice storage bin is filled and ice contacts its bulb. Factory
.
.
.
settings are 1°C (35°F) OUT and 4°C (39°F) IN.
F. HI PRESSURE CONTROL
Used either on air (SDE50-SDE84-170-220A) and water (SDN30 ÷ 64W) cooled ice makers it functions to maintain the head pressure within the preset values of 8
÷
10 bars (110
÷
140 psig)
SDE30 ÷ SDE84, and 15,5 ÷ 20 bars (215 ÷ 280 psig)
SDE170-220, by intermittently activating the fan motor (in the air cooled models) and the water inlet valve to the condenser (in the water cooled models SDE30-64).
Page 9
G. SAFETY THERMOSTAT/PRESSURE SWITCH
(BY HAND RESET)
Fastened directly onto the refrigerant liquid line and electrically connected upstream all other controls, this safety device shut-off the icemakers when senses that the temperature at the liquid line has rised to the limit of 75 °C (170°F) or corresponding pressure.
H. WATER SPRAY SYSTEM
It consists of one spray bar with several spray nozzles on its extension.
The water pumped, is sprayed through its nozzles in each individual mold or onto each evaporator tip to be frozen into ice.
I.
WATER PUMP
The water pump operates continually throughout the freezing cycle.
The pump primes the water from the sump to the spray system and through the spray nozzles sprays it to the copper molds or onto the evaporator tips to be frozen into crystal clear ice cubes. It is recommended that the pump motor bearings be checked at least every six months.
J.
WATER INLET SOLENOID VALVE -
3/4 MALE FITTING
The water inlet solenoid valve is activated by the timer microswitch only during the defrost cycle.
When energized it allows a metered amount of incoming water to flow over the evaporator cavity to assist the hot gas in defrosting the ice cubes.
The water running over the evaporator cavity drops by gravity, through the dribbler holes of the platen, into the sump reservoir where it will be sucked by the water pump and primed to the spray system.
K. HOT GAS SOLENOID VALVE
The hot gas solenoid valve consists basically in two parts: the valve body and the valve coil.
Located on the hot gas line, this valve is energized through the electronic timer during the defrost cycle.
During the defrost cycle the hot gas valve coil is activated so to attract the hot gas valve piston in order to give way to the hot gas discharged from compressor to flow directly into the evaporator serpentine to defrost the formed ice cubes.
L. FAN MOTOR (Air cooled version)
The fan motor, in the SDE64-84-170-220 models is electrically connected in series with the pressure control operates during the freezing cycle to draw cooling air through the condenser fins so to keep the condensing pressure between the two preset values 8 ÷ 10 bars (110 ÷ 140 psig)
SDE84 and 15,5 ÷ 20 bars (215 ÷ 280 psig) SDE170-
220.
In the other models SDN 25-30-35-45 the fan motor works continuosly in order to maintain the condensing pressure between 8 ÷ 10 bars
(110 ÷ 140 psig).
M. WATER INLET SOLENOID VALVE -
P
t l c
3/4 MALE FITTING
(SDE30
÷
64 water cooled version)
A second water inlet solenoid valve, operating through an automatic hi-pressure control, is used on water cooled versions to supply water to the condenser.
When activated it supplies a metered amount of water to the condenser in order to limit its temperature and the refrigerant operating high pressure.
N. WATER REGULATING VALVE
(Water cooled version SDE84
÷
220)
This valve controls the head pressure in the refrigerant system by regulating the flow of water going to the condenser.
As pressure increases, the water regulating valve opens to increase the flow of cooling water.
O. COMPRESSOR
The hermetic compressor is the heart of the refrigerant system and it is used to circulate and retrieve the refrigerant throughout the entire system. It compresses the low pressure refrigerant vapor causing its temperature to rise and become high pressure hot vapor which is then released through the discharge valve.

MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL
The periods and the procedures for maintenance and cleaning are given as guides and are not to be construed as absolute or invariable.
Cleaning, especially, will vary depending upon local water and ambient conditions and the ice volume produced; and, each icemaker must be maintened individually, in accordance with its particular location requirements.
When remove the ice cubes from its sensing bulb the unit will restart after few seconds from the defrost cycle assuring the filling up of the water tank.
8.
NOTE. It is possible to adjust the setting temperature of the bin thermostat by slightly turning its adjusting screw.
Check for refrigerant leaks.
B. ICEMAKER
The following maintenance should be scheduled at least two times per year on these icemakers, by using the SIMAG technical service.
1.
Check and clean the water line strainer.
2.
Check that the icemaker is levelled in side to side and in front to rear directions.
3.
Clean the water system, evaporator, bin and spray jets using a solution of Ice Machine
Cleaner.
Refer to procedure C cleaning instructions and after cleaning will indicate frequency and procedure to be followed in local areas.
NOTE. Cleaning requirements vary according to the local water conditions and individual user operation. Continuous check of the clarity of ice cubes and visual inspection of the water spraying parts before and after cleaning will indicate frequency and procedure to be followed in local areas.
4.
With the ice machine and fan motor OFF on air cooled models, clean condenser using vacuum cleaner, whisk broom or non metallic brush taking care to do not damage both the condenser and ambient temperature sensors.
5.
Check for water leaks and tighten drain line connections. Pour water down bin drain line to be sure that drain line is open and clear.
6.
Check size, condition and texture of ice cubes. Perform adjustment of the evaporator thermostat or cube size control by turning its adjusting screw clockwise for a thicker ice cube and counterclockwise for a thiner one.
7.
Check the bin thermostat to test shut-off.
Put a handfull of ice cubes in contact with its bulb.
This should cause the ice maker to shut off within
20 ÷ 30", but only at the end of the freezing cycle!
NOTE. Perform the above check only at the beginning of the harvest cycle as, during the freezing cycle the bin thermostat contacts are bypassed by the front microswitch of the timer.
C. CLEAN - REPLACE OF AIR
CONDENSER FILTER
1. Withdraw the air filter from the front through the opening of the front panel.
2. Blow pressurised air on the opposite direction of the condenser air flow so to remove the dust accumulated.
3. If pressurised air is not available, use tap water always in the counter flow air diretcion.
Once cleaned shake it so to remove most of the accumulated water, then dry it using an hair dryer.
NOTE. In case the air filter strainer is damaged replace it with a new one.
4. Install it again by pushing it through the front panel opening.
D. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS OF WATER
SYSTEM
1. Remove the front and the top panels to gain access either to the control box and to the evaporator.
Page 13
2.
Wait till the end of defrost cycle then, shut the unit OFF by means of its master switch.
3.
Scoop out all the ice cubes stored into the bin in order to prevent them from being contaminated with the cleaning solution then flush out the water from the sump reservoir by removing the overflow stand-pipe.
4.
Remove the plastic cup located on the bottom of sump/freezing chamber to drain out all water and scale deposits.
5.
Prepare the cleaning solution by diluting in a plastic container two or three liters of warm water (45 °÷ 50°C) with a 0,2 ÷ 0,3 liters of Ice
Machine Cleaner PIN 00100901.
WARNING. The Ice Machine Cleaner contains Phosphoric and Hydroxyacetic acids. These compounds are corrosive and may cause burns if swallowed, DO
NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk. Call Physician immediately. In case of external contact flush with water. KEEP OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN
6.
Remove the evaporator cover then slowly pour onto the evaporator platen the cleaning solution. With the help of a brush dissolve the most resistant and remote scale deposits in the platen.
7.
Set the compressor switch on
"0 - OFF"
position and give power to the unit by the master switch (Fig.6).
NOTE. With the system in CLEANING mode the water pump is the only component in operation to circulate the cleaning solution in the entire water system.
8.
Let the unit to remain in the
CLEANING
mode for about 20 minutes then switch OFF the machine.
9.
Flush out the cleaning solution from the sump reservoir then pour onto the evaporator cavity one or two liters of clean potable water with the antibacteria solution P/N 26400002 to rinse and sanitize the molds and the spray system.
If necessary remove the spary bar and nozzles to clean them separately then refit them.
10. Set back the master switch to ON. The water pump is again in operation to circulate the water and the antibacterial solution in order to rinse the entire water system.
Switch OFF the unit after approx. 10 minutes and flush out the rinsing water from the sump reservoir.
11. To rotate the timer so that the microswitches reach the beginning of the defrost cycle (low part of the cam) give power to the unit by the master switch.
By doing so are energized the water pump and the water inlet valve. In this way the incaming water flow away to fill up the water tank.
12. When the water tank is filled up (water flowing out from the drain) put the compressor switch on I ON position to restart the machine in the automatic mode.
13. Re-fit the evaporator cover and the unit service panels.
14. At completion of the freezing and harvest cycle make sure of proper texture and clearness of the ice cubes and that, they do not have any acid taste.
ATTENTION. In case the ice cubes are cloudy, white and have an acid taste, melt them immediately by pouring on them some warm water.
This to prevent somebody from using them.
15. Wipe clean and rinse the inner surfaces of the storage bin.
REMEMBER. To prevent the accumulation of undesirable bacteria it is necessary to
sanitize the interior of the storage bin with an anti-algae disinfectant solution
every
week.
