FIGURE 2 COMPONENT LOCATION Sequence of Operation FREEZE MODE (FIGURE 3) When the ICE/OFF/WATER PUMP switch is set at ICE, the compressor and condenser fan (air-cooled models) start. On remote models, the compressor and condenser fan start after a momentary delay. The water pump will start after approximately 30 seconds. This allows the evaporator to “prechill.” Water is pumped from the water trough up through the distribution tube. This directs an even flow of water down across the front of the evaporator. Water flows into each individual cube mold, gradually building ice. The water flows back to the water trough and is recirculated. The float valve maintains the proper water level in the trough as ice is formed. HARVEST MODE (FIGURE 4) As ice builds in the evaporator to the proper thickness, water flowing over the ice comes in contact with the ice bridge thickness probe. This initiates the HARVEST mode. The condenser fan will cycle off. (The condenser fan continues to run on remote models.) The hot gas solenoid valve opens diverting hot gas into the evaporator. The water dump valve opens at the same time, allowing the water pump to flush mineral deposits from the water trough out the drain. As the hot gas warms the evaporator, the ice cubes slide, as a unit, off the evaporator into the ice storage bin or dispenser. The falling ice swings the bottom of the water curtain out, activating a bin switch. The bin switch de-energizes the hot gas valve and water dump valve, returning the ice machine to the freeze mode. AUTOMATIC STOP AND START (FIGURE 5) When the ice storage bin becomes full, the last harvesting ice cubes do not completely clear the water curtain, holding it open. The bin switch shuts the ice machine off until sufficient ice is removed from the bin allowing ice to clear the water curtain. On remote models, the ice machine will run momentarily before shutting off. The return of the water curtain activates the bin switch, putting the machine back into the freeze mode. FIGURE 4 HARVEST MODE FIGURE 5 AUTOMATIC START/STOP 9 Operational Checks IMPORTANT: Utilize the Operational Checks when starting the ice machine after initial installation, prolonged “out of service” periods, and after cleaning and sanitizing to ensure proper operation. Your Manitowoc ice machine is factory operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally no adjustments are necessary for new installations. Adjustments and maintenance as outlined in this guide are not covered by warranty. To check and adjust (if necessary), proceed as follows: Water Level Check (Figure 6) 1. Set ICE/OFF/ WATER PUMP switch at OFF. Water Curtain Check (Figure 7) 1. Pull bottom of water curtain away from evaporator, then release.

Turn spanner tool counterclockwise with 7/8" wrench and remove enclosing tube, plunger, and rubber gasket from valve body. It is not necessary to remove spring from plunger when cleaning. If spring is removed, insert flared end of spring into slotted opening in top of plunger until spring comes in contact with plunger spring stop. Use care not to stretch or damage spring in plunger when cleaning. CLEANING WATER DUMP VALVE Replace excessively dirty or worn water dump valve components. Order Water Dump Valve Rebuild Kit, Part No. 24-0487-3. Contact your Manitowoc Dealer. 1. Soak components in cleaning solution (refer to Cleaning Procedures, Page 13). Remove heavy scale deposits with a stiff-bristle brush. Use a small bottle brush to clean inside the enclosure tube. Wipe off rubber gasket with soft cloth. A CAUTION DO NOT SOAK COIL ASSEMBLY. local water supply has high turbidity (dirty water), a prefilter is also recommended. Consult your local dealer or distributor for information on Manitowoc’s full line of Tri-liminator filtration systems. To ensure maximum filtration efficiency, replace the primary filter cartridge every six months. The filter gauge will indicate if replacement is necessary prior to six months usage (below 20 psig). Tri-Liminator systems which include a pre-filter should not require primary filter replacement prior to six months usage. If replacement is indicated, first replace the pre-filter. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE (FIGURE 19) 1. Turn off water supply using the inlet shut-off valve 2. Depress pressure release button to relieve pressure. 3. Unscrew housing from cap (see illustration). 4. Remove used cartridge from housing and 2. Thoroughly rinse components with clean water. 3. Reassemble water dump valve and reinstall in ice machine. Water Filtration Manitowoc recommends the use of water filtration on the water supply to the ice machine. Filtration reduces mineral build-up on the ice making surfaces of the ice machine which can slow the ice making process, reduce ice production, increase energy consumption and increase cleaning frequency. Filtration also improves ice quality. If the 16 discard.

Place O-ring back in groove and with two fingers wipe or press it down into the groove. NOTE: This step is important to insure proper filter seal. Make sure the O-ring is seated level in the groove. 6. Insert a new cartridge into the housing making sure that it slips down over the housing standpipe. 7. Screw the housing onto the cap and hand tighten. Do not over-tighten or use spanner wrench. 8. Repeat Steps 3 through 7 for each filter housing. 9. Turn on the water supply to allow housing (and filter) to slowly fill with water. 10. Depress the pressure release button to release trapped air from housing. Check for leaks. Removal From Service/Winterization You must take special precautions if the ice machine is to be removed from service for extended periods or exposed to ambient temperatures of 32°F. or below. 5. Water-cooled ice machines: disconnect incoming water line and drain line from water- cooled condenser at rear of ice machine. 6. Blow compressed air into incoming water openings and drain openings until water stops coming out of float valve and water trough. 7. Water-cooled ice machines: pry open water regulating valve by inserting large standard screwdriver between bottom spring coils of valve. Pry spring upward to open valve, Figure 20. Hold valve open and blow compressed air through condenser until no water remains. 8. Ensure no water is trapped in the water lines, drain lines and distribution tube. 9. if ice machine is outside, cover machine to prevent exposure to elements. A CAUTION IF WATER IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN THE MACHINE IN FREEZING AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, IT COULD FREEZE RESULTING IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO SOME COMPONENTS. A FAILURE OF THIS NATURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. 1. Disconnect electric power at electric service switch box. 2. Turn off water going to the ice machine. 3. Remove drain plug from water trough. 4. Disconnect drain line and incoming ice making water line at rear of ice machine.

Water-cooled condenser/regulating valve cleaning. 11 General Ice | Machine Inspection You can eliminate potential service calls by performing routine maintenance. Check all water fittings and lines for leaks and ensure refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating against other tubing, panels, components, etc. Remember, good preventive maintenance leads to minimal problems and maximum ice production. Do not stack anything (boxes, etc.) on or around the ice machine. Ensure remote condenser is well ventilated (if applicable). Do not cover the ice machine while it is operating. !t is absolutely necessary to maintain adequate air flow through and around the ice machine to ensure long component life and maximum ice production. Exterior Cleaning 1. Clean the area around the ice machine as frequently as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation. 2. Sponge dust and dirt off the outside of the ice machine with clean, warm water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. AIR-COOLED CONDENSER (Self-Contained and Remote Models) A dirty condenser restricts airflow resulting in excessively high operating temperatures which in turn reduces ice production and shortens component parts life. Clean the condenser at least every six months. A CAUTION CONDENSER FINS ARE SHARP ENOUGH TO CUT YOUR FINGERS. USE CARE WHEN CLEANING THEM. ACAUTION COVER CONDENSER FAN MOTOR TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE IF CLEANING CONDENSER AND FAN WITH WATER. REMOVE COVER WHEN CLEANING IS COMPLETED. | A CAUTION IF THE PANELS ARE STAINLESS STEEL, CLEAN LIGHT STAINS WITH SOAP, DETERGENT, OR A COMMERCIAL CLEANER. DO NOT USE CLEANSERS CONTAINING BLEACHING AGENTS AS MOST OF THESE CONTAIN CHLORINE WHICH WILL STAIN. USE STAINLESS STEEL WOOL TO REMOVE HEAVY STAINS. NEVER USE PLAIN STEEL WOOL AS IT WILL CAUSE RUSTING. AFTER CLEANING, RINSE THOROUGHLY. Cleaning the Condenser AWARNING DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER TO ICE MACHINE AT THE ELECTRIC SERVICE SWITCH BOX, BEFORE CLEANING CONDENSER! 10 1. Remove top and left side panels (self- contained models only). NOTE: On remote condensers, remove top cover. 2. Clean outside of condenser (bottom side of remote condenser) with soft brush or vacuum with brush attachment. Brush or wash condenser from top to bottom — not from side to side. Take care not to bend the fins. Shine flashlight through condenser to check for dirt between the fins. If further cleaning is required, use one or both of the following procedures: a. Blow through condenser from the inside out using compressed air. Take care not to bend fan blades. Shine flashlight through condenser to ensure all dirt is removed. b. Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner according to the directions and cautions supplied with the cleaner. Thoroughly rinse condenser with clean water. - 3. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb, Figure 10. IC-010-OW > CONDENSER FIN rd COMB REMOVAL OF PARTS FOR CLEANING 1. Loosen two screws holding front panel in place and remove front panel. 2. Set ICE/IOFF/ WATER PUMP switch at OFF after ice falls from evaporator at completion of Harvest cycle, or set switch at off and allow ice to melt off evaporator. A CAUTION NEVER USE ANY TYPE OF OBJECT TO FORCE ICE FROM EVAPORATOR AS DAMAGE MAY RESULT. FIGURE 10 STRAIGHTEN BENT CONDENSER FINS 4. Carefully wipe off fan blades and fan motor with a soft cloth, taking care not to bend fan blades. Wash excessively dirty fan blades with warm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. WATER-COOLED CONDENSER (and Water Regulating Valve) IMPORTANT: Water-cooled condensers and water regulating valves should be cleaned by qualified maintenance personnel. The water-cooled condenser and water regulating valve may require cleaning due to scale build-up. Symptoms of restrictions in the condenser water circuit may include low ice production, and high operating temperatures and pressures. Interior Cleaning For efficient operation, clean and sanitize ice machine every six months. IMPORTANT: Do not use hot water. If ice machine requires cleaning and sanitizing more frequently, consult a qualified service company to test the water quality and recommend appropriate water treatment. Before cleaning check water dump valve for proper operation (see Checking and Cleaning Water Dump Valve, Page 15). Deposits may accumulate in the valve causing leakage or restriction of water flow. 3. Turn off water to the ice machine at water service valve. 4. Stacked ice machines: a. Remove top panel. b.
