Check that in interior of the machine the installation kit is complete and comprises: • Ice scoop 6 • • • • ¾ inlet water hose 22 mm drain hose 1 filter User manual. Warranty and serial number CAUTION: All packing elements (plastic bags, carton boxes and wood pallets) should be kept outside the reach of children, as they are a source of potential hazard. 7 2. INSTALLATION 2.1.- PLACING OF THE ICE MAKER This ice maker is not designed for outdoor operation. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing equipment. The NG machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 10ºC and 43ºC. There may be some difficulties in ice cube removal under the minimum temperatures. Above the maximum temperature, the life of the compressor is shortened and the production is substantially lower. The air flow in air-condensed machines enters through the front grille, entering on the right front and exiting on the left front side. In addition, the unit is equipped with a rear air vent. Do not obstruct the front grille with any objects. The unit can operate embedded, but with a reduction in output. In case the front louver is not enough, the exit is either total or partially obstructed or due to its placement it will receive hot air from another device, we recommend, in case it is not possible to change the location of the machine, TO INSTALL A WATER CONDENSER. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE WATER PIPING DO NOT PASS BY OR NEAR SOURCES OF HEAT SO AS NOT TO LOSE ICE PRODUCTION. The location must allow enough clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine. It is important that the water inlet piping does not pass near sources of heat so as not to lose ice production. 8 2.2.-LEVELLING OF THE ICE MAKER Use a level on top of ice machine in order to ensure the equipment is perfectly leveled. Screw the leveling legs onto the bottom of the ice machine as far as possible. Move the machine into its final position. Use a level on top of the ice machine. Adjust each leg as necessary to level the ice machine from front to back and side to side. 2.4.-MINIMUM DISTANCE TO OBSTACLES Please see below the recommended minimum distances for proper operation and efficient service. 9 CONNECTION DIAGRAM: The location must allow enough clearance for water drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine 2.5.- WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and ultimately on the life of the product (mainly in water cooled units). It also will have a remarkable influence on the appearance, hardness and flavor of the ice. 10 Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, improve taste and clarity. If you are installing a water filter system, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the filter system. Pressure should be between 0.1MPa and 0.6MPa (1 and 6 bar). If pressure overpasses such values, install a pressure regulator. The water connection needs to be dedicated (only piece of equipment hooked to the water line). Water line from the water valve to the ice machine needs to be ¼” nominal ID tubing. ATTENTION: The machine shall be plumbed (with adequate backflow protection) according to applicable Federal State and local regulations. 2.6.-DRAIN CONNECTION 2.6.1.- GRAVITY DRAIN Drainage should be located lower to the machine level, at 150mm minimum. It is convenient that the drain hose is 1,18” (30mm) inside diameter and with a minimum gradient of 3cm/metre, see figure. Correct Incorrect Incorrect 2.6.2.- DRAIN FORCE CONNECTION This version of drain force allows an installation of the machine where the drain can be located 30 meters horizontally and 1.5 meters high from the machine's water outlet. 11 If the drain pipe runs incorrectly, the pump may not be able to drain the water, because the flow of the pump may be influenced due to the existence of stored air within the circuit. 2.5.- ELECTRICAL CONNECTION It is mandatory to ground the equipment. To avoid possible electric shock on individuals or damages to the equipment, the machine should be grounded pursuant local and/or national regulations as the case may be. The manufacturer shall be held harmless in case of damages arising due to the lack of the ground installation. In case the supply cable is damaged, it should be replaced by a cable of special assembly to be furnished by the manufacturer or after-sales service. Such replacement should be performed by qualified technical service only. The machine should be places in such a way as to allow a minimum space between the back and the wall to allow an easy access and without risks to the cable plug. Safeguard the socket. It is convenient to install adequate switches and fuses. ATTENTION: The appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or fire. Voltage is indicated in the nameplate and on the technical specifications section of this manual. Variation on voltage above the 10% stated on the nameplate could result on damages or prevent the machine start-up. 12 3. PRIOR CHECKING AND START-UP 3.1.- PRIOR CHECKING a) Is the machine leveled? b) Voltage and frequency are the same as those on the nameplate? c) Are the drains connected and operating? d) Will the ambient temperature and water temperature remain in the following range? ROOM WATER MAXIMUM 43ºC 30ºC MINIMUM 10ºC 10ºC e) Is water pressure appropriate? MINIMUM 0.1MPa (1 bar) MAXIMUM 0.6 MPa (6 bar) In case inlet water pressure is higher than 0.6 MPa, install a pressure regulator. 3.2.- START-UP Once the installation instructions are followed (ventilation, site conditions, temperatures, water quality, etc.), proceed as follows: 1.- Open the water inlet. Verify the no existence of leakages. 2.- Open the door and remove the protection elements on the shield. 3.- Verify that the curtain moves freely. 4.- Connect the machine to the power supply. 5.- Push the switch on the machine front side. 6.- Verify that there are no vibrations or frictions on the elements. 13 7.- Close door (for under counter models) / Replace the front panel in its place (for modular models). 8.- Verify the ice cubs with the pictures below. If necessary, adjust production time switches (see table in 4.1, switches 1-4 (tf)) to make the ice cubes with the right shape. Too big Just right Too small Damages due to the lack of maintenance and cleaning operations are not included on the warranty. 14 4. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION Once you connect the machine there is a time delay of 140” during which the water valve is activated to ensure the water tray is filled. Compressor, pump will be off. Once the time is up, it continues with a harvest cycle and the compressor starts. After the harvest, the ice production starts, so the pump starts working. The pump, recirculates the water from the water tray to the upper nozzles (#2) distributor which provides a fan of water that waters each ice cube row in the evaporator (#1), in which the water starts freezing and making the ice. When the temperature probe (#3) at the end of the evaporator reaches an adjusted value Tc (12/-8°C) , the fabrication continues the fixed time with the combination of dip-switches 1-4 (see table). This way we can ensure the filling of the ICE CUBE is correct in different working conditions. Once the production time is over the harvest phase starts. The pump stops, the hot gas and the water inlet valves open. When the evaporator temperature probe (#3) reaches an adjusted value 15 Tg (4/0°C) the harvest continues the fixed time with the combination of dip-switches 5-7 (see table). Water is poured over the evaporator helping unstick the ice cubes from the plastic frame. After the harvest cycle, the machine comes back to the production cycle. At the beginning of each Harvest cycle, the PCB checks if the Thermostat is open or close. Once the ice bin is full and the ice cubes cover the thermostat tube (#4), the contact open, so when the harvest begins, the machine will stop until the contact of the thermostat close again. When it close, it starts with a harvest cycle and then it will continue with the production cycle again. 16 4.1.

They are indicated with the flashing status Leds LE1-4. During some alarms a second operation retry attempt is carried out and if repeated again, the 18 machine will stop. Signaling should be indicated since the first failure occurs. If the second retry attempt is ok, the signaling will switch off. In case that a machine stop has been caused by alarm, the reset is done by switching OFF and ON the main switch. If the dip-switch 11 OFF, time alarms are not to be followed. 4.2.1 SAFETY HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH When the pressure contact (P) trips, instantly, all outputs switch over to off position. When it is closed again, there are two possibilities: - Dip-switch 10 OFF. Manual reset. The machine remains stopped until reset to Initial start-up. - Dip-switch 10 ON. Automatic reset. The machine check pressure switch status every 30 min. When closed, the machine will continue at the position where it was. * Signalling: Flashing LE1. 4.2.2 LONG HARVEST If the harvest time is longer than 5 min., the harvest is interrupted, switching over to the production cycle. If the same happens again at the next harvest, the machine will stop. * Signalling: Flashing in LE3. 4.2.3 ICE PRODUCTION CYCLE TIMEOUT If during the production cycle, evaporator temperature probe has not reached the set temperature Tc in more than 60 min, the machine will stop until reset. * Signalling: Flashing in LE2. 4.2.4 FAULTY TEMPERATURE PROBE If PCB detects that evaporator temperature probe is broken or unconnected, the machine will stop * Signalling: Flashing in LE4. Probe type is NTC and resistance value must be 10kΩ at 25°C. 4.3 PCB PUSH BUTTON FUNCTION Function depends on the unit status: - Start up timer: Finish initial delay y passes to ice production stage - Ice production. Switches to harvest - Harvest. Switches to Ice production Wash cycle activation. 19 Keep pressed the button while switching on main front switch. Wash cycle is activated and only the water recirculation pump is running. There is a maximum time for this cycle of 30 min. After this time, pump stops. Wash cycle is finished by switching off main power. Read cleaning and sanitizing instructions for proper usage of this function. 4.4 DRAIN FORCE 4.4.1 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION While the machine is turn on, there is water that need to be evacuated between each cycle. There are 2 possible outlet water, one is if the ice in the storage bin melts (#1) and the other is when the production time ends, the water electrovalve opens and fills the water tray(#2) to renovate the water. The excess of water goes out by the overflow (#3) to the drain force water reservoir (#4). When the water reservoir is full of water covering the 2 electrodes (#5), the pump (#6) turns on and evacuates water for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the pump turns off if the electrodes are not covered by the water, otherwise, the pump will start again for 5 seconds. In case that the system does not work for any issue, the water will flood the ice bin. There is a ventilation tube (#7) that allows the system to remove any air that may remain in the water reservoir. The Vent tube must be always over the mouth of the front door (#8). In case that the pump works for 5 min continuously, it will stop for 5 seconds automatically in order to refrigerate. 20 The system has a way to evacuate the water inside the water reservoir in a manual way. There is a plug(#9) in one of the plastic tube, by retiring this plug, it is possible to evacuate all the water. Also, the system has a Check valve(#10) that does not allow the water to came back to the water reservoir. 21 4.4.2 CONTROL BOARD PCB connections Outputs B Water pump Inputs Lw Water Level Sensor LED signalling There are two LEDs that signals machine status Status signaling.
