DESCRIPTION
The QUASAR-
C ice cubes maker is the result of years of experience in this field and the development of a
high technology factory.
Main Features
• Storage bin made of polyester strengthened with glass fibre or ABS
• Stock bin made of high resistance plastic materials
• Polyurethane insulation injected “IN SITU”
• Heavy duty door (pat.) except Q 20-30 y MQ 200.
• Agitator motor for continuous service
• Tough cam motor (50 Kg/cm)
• Safety device and clutch for the water pan preventing its breakage during the upward cycle, (pat.)
• Machine stoppage and water pan protection during the downward cycle, (pat.)
• The stock ice is the maximum than it could be thanks to the stop machine system.
• Low noise
• High pressure safety pressostats even in air-cooled machine.
•
Large condensers (work well at high ambient temperatures; and reduce cooling water consumption in
water-cooled machines).
• Clear cubes.
• Ices Cubes can be adjusted (height and diameter).
• Easy to maintain and repair.
HOW IT WORKS
When the machine is switched on the compressor and the agitator motor start, the water entry valve opens
and allows water into the production pan up to a level where the float makes a micro-
switch cut the current
to the valve and so stop water entering the
tray. The compressor, controlled by capillaries produces enough
cold in the evaporator to gradually freeze the water around its “fingers”.
When the ice so formed reaches the proper size the paddles of the agitator are stopped and its motor,
suspended, works the end of cycle micro-switch.
This micro-switch connects the relay that starts the cam motor. When the micro-
switch has fallen, opens the
hot gas valve and stops the agitator motor. The compressor continues working for another 20”, then stops,
and the
agitator motor is connected. The cam motor starts to move downwards, making part of the surplus
water flow to the drain, and dropping the ice cubes, pushed by the ejection plate into the storage bin.
The pan eventually gets back to its initial position and so starts another production cycle.
5
Once the storage bin is full the pan stops in its downward movement as it touches the cubes, so working the
safety stop micro-
switch and switching off the machine. Production will start again as soon as the cubes
which detained it move or are removed.

13
INSTALLATION
The ice cube maker is delivered on a small wooden pallet and is protected with a cardboard box and packaging. Loosen the cardboard
box by cutting the straps, then lift vertically.
After having removed the packaging, make sure the machine is complete. If in doubt do not use it and go to the
distributor who sold it to you.
This operation has to be performed with the wooden base structure firm
ly placed on the ground. All packaging
elements (plastic bags, cartons, etc..) must not be left at children's reach, since they are a potential source of
danger.
Place the machine where it is to be installed, and verify, using a level control, that the mac
hine is in a horizontal
position.
CAUTION:
If the gap between the back of the machine and the wall of the room/bar is not sufficient, or if it is going to receive
hot air from another machine, we strongly advise, in case of not being able to change the lo
cation of the machine,
to INSTALL A WATER-COOLED MACHINE.
Bear in mind the previous considerations if the premises where the machines is located are very dusty, or smoky. If
possible make arrangements so that the machine may be moved front-wise in order to carry out maintenance.
Recommended Placement of Unit
QUASAR machines are intended to operate at room temperature between 5°C and 43°C and with water
temperature ranging between 5°C and 35°C. Below recommended minimum temperatures, ice cubes will be
un-st
ick correctly and may form a slab or block of ice. Operation carried out over maximum recommended
temperatures can result in shorter compressor life and decreased production.
Air-cooled units receive air input via front of machine and expel air through rear grill.
IMPORTANT!
If front and/or rear ventilation is inadequate, obstructed, or in close proximity to other heat producing
machinery, USE OF A WATER-COOLED UNIT is strongly recommended.
Water inlet tube should not pass near heat sources: water entering the machine should be as cold as possible,
but always above 5ºC.
The above mentioned also applies should unit be installed in an area where dust, smoke, or other airborne
pollutants may be present. Units—especially air-cooled—
should not be installed in kitchens. To facilitate
14
access to condenser and/or water pressure valve, allow sufficient space at front of the machine. Be sure that
flooring is firm and even.
Water and Drainage
Water quality influences ice hardness, flavour, and quality as well as condenser life.
Keep in mind the following points:
a) WATER IMPURITIES: Major impurities are eliminated by filters provided. Filters should be cleaned
regularly depending on purity of water. For minor impurities we recommend installing a 5-
micron filter
(Provided with the unit: Part # ITV 207499).
b) WATER WITH MORE THAN 500 PPM: Ice will be less hard and tend to adhere. Lime deposits may
impede proper function. In w
ater cooled models, condenser obstruction is likely. Installation of a high
quality water softener is recommended.
c) CHLORINATED WATER: Chlorine taste can be avoided by installing a carbon filter (Part # ITV
207509).
(NOTE: You may encounter water with all aforementioned properties.)
d) PURIFIED WATER: A 10% reduction in overall production may occur.
Connecting Unit To Water Source
•Use 1.3 m. flexible tube (with two filters attached) provided. NOTE: We advise using a single faucet fixture
.
•Water pressure should be between 0.7 and 6 Kgs/cm2. (10/85 Psi.)
•If water pressure exceeds these values, installation of appropriate corrective units will be necessary.
•It is important that water tubing does not come close to or in contact with any heat sources
or heat
generated by unit as this could decrease production.
15
Connecting Unit To Drain (Water Cooled Models)
•Drain must be located at least 150mm. below machine level. Drain tube must have
an inner diameter of
30mm. with a minimum gradient of 3 cm per metre.
Electrical connection
• Unit is provided with a 1.5 m cord and Schucko socket.
• It is recommended to install a switch and adequate fuses. Nominal voltage and intensity are indicated
on
rating plate as well as on this manual's technical pages. Voltage fluctuations greater than 10% can cause
problems or prevent machine from starting.
• Line to base of plug must have a minimum section=2.5 mm2.
• Ensure voltage indicated on rating plate corresponds to that of mains supply.
Machine levelling
Place machine where it is required, and level the machine ONCE all four legs have been screwed on
Space requirements
There should be a 150 mm gap on sides and top of the machine so as to allow air to
circulate and prevent
heat build-up.
Float (buoy) valve level
This valve is factory set, but may need to be adjusted if mains water pressure is very high or very low. To do
so, loosen the two small screws which connect the micro-switch to the steel support. Move micro-
switch as
required and tighten screws. Water level must be about 5mm below the evaporator coil to, otherwise there
may be difficulty in releasing cubes in winter.
Note that if mains pressure is subject to larg
e fluctuations, it will be difficult to maintain a constant water
level, in this case it may be advisable to install a pressure regulator on the water mains line.
16
IMPORTANT!
Supply socket must be properly earthed. Be sure to check standard for country whe
re appliance is going to
be installed.
OPERATION
Preliminary Check
a) Is machine levelled?
b) Are voltage and frequency of main supply the same as indicated on rating plate?
c) Is drainage system functioning?
d) Is air circulation and room temperature adequate? (Air-cooled models)
ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER TEMPERATURE
MAXIMUM 43° C 35° C
MINIMUM 5° C 5° C
e) Is water pressure adequate?
MAXIMUM 0.7 Kg/cm2
MINIMUM 6 Kg/cm2
ATTENTION: Check that voltage and mains frequency are the same as in the rating plate.
Starting up
Once preliminary check has been completed (ventilation, connections, temperature, etc.), proceed as follows:
1) Open water faucet. Check for leaks.
2) Plug machine into electricity mains supply.
3) Ensure that there are no strange vibrations or scraping sounds
4) Check that the water curtain moves freely
6) After 10 minutes, check that the water bin has no leaks on the maximum level overflow.
7)
At the cycle’s end, there should be frost formed on the compressor inlet tube except for the last 50
mm.
17
IMPORTANT!
Be sure voltage and frequency of main supply correspond to indicated levels on rating plate.
ADVISE THE FINAL USER ON MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED IN WARRANTY
, AS
WELL AS THOSE BREAKDOWNS CAUSED BY NEGLECT OF PROPER MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
ADJUSTMENTS
Condenser water valve pressostat
(UP TO Q 40S C WATER COOLED)
This pressostat
controls high pressure by opening and closing the condenser water valve. Differential is a
fixed 1 Kg/cm2 (14 Psi). The valve closes at 16 Kg/cm2 (228 Psi.) which is equivalent to a water exit
temperature of 38ºC. below this pressure it will be difficult t
o unstick the cubes in the defrosting stage.
Above this pressure, compressor life and ice production are both reduced. Pressure can be increased by
turning the small screw clockwise. A full turn is equivalent to about 1.5 Kg/cm2.
Water Pressure Control Valve
(FROM Q 50 C WATER COOLED)
•High pressure should be maintained at 16-17 bar (228-240 Psi) must be maintained which corresponds to
a water temperature of 40°C ( exit temperature).
•When temperature exceeds 32°C, pressure and temperature of water at exit increase.
REGULATION: Water pressure and temperature can be decreased by regulating screw clockwise.
18
Pressure Control
Fan pressostat (air condensation)
Pressure Control
operates on high pressure by starting and/stopping fan. Differential is fixed. (1Kg/cm2 or
14 Psi.) Cut-
off pressure must be 16 Kg/cm2 (228 Psi) Low pressure values may cause gearbox malfunction.
Pressure values higher than 16 Kg/cm2 may shorten compressor life and diminish ice production.
Pressure can be regulated by rotating screw on Pressure Control Valve (clockwise to increase pressure).
One
rotation equals 1.5 Kg/cm2.
Safety pressostat
This Security device trips when discharge pressure is too
high. Pressure might exceed the limit when:
a) Air circulation is not sufficient, room temperature is
too high or condenser is dirty (air condensation models).
b) There is not enough water in the sys
tem or water temperature is
too high (water-cooled models).
HIGH PRESSURE REGULATION (fixed):
30-22 Kg/cm2 (420-308 Psi)

WARNING:** Discard ice produced during cleaning procedure.
Cleaning the ice bin
1) Unplug the machine, turn off water supply, and empty storage bin of ice
2) Wipe with a kitchen cloth soaked in detergent
3) If white lime stains do not vanish, rub with some lemon or vinegar, wait for a few minut
es and wipe with
the cloth again.
4) Rinse with plenty of water, dry, and run the machine
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Follow the same procedure as for the ice bin.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
These round wire gasket filters placed on either end of the water hose to mains, often become blocked in the
first few days of use, especially when the plumbing installation is new. Clean them under a jet of water.
22
Checking for water leaks
This must be done whenever maintenance is carried out on the machine: check all water connections,
braces, tubes and hoses in order to eliminate leaks and prevent breakages and flooding. Check that
the valve closes tightly on models with an automatic cleaning system.
SPECIAL ADVICE CONCERNING R-404 REFRIGERANT
• R-404 is a mixture of 3 liquid-phase gases. On evaporating, the 3 component gases separate
• Always use the liquid phase valve (at the end of condenser or accumulator) for refills and purges.
• When replac
ing a compressor. wash inside of circuit with a suitable solvent + pump, dry with nitrogen,
REPLACE THE DRIER WITH ONE SUITABLE FOR
• R-404, which must also have ANTI-ACID properties.
• If you need to add oil, use one which is specific for R-404 (POE).
If you are in doubt, contact the
machine manufacturer.
• If there is a leak anywhere in the circuit where R-404 in the GAS phase, and a refill of over 10%
is required, then ALL THE GAS IN THE CIRCUIT MUST BE PURGED AND THEN
REFILL AS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY (LIQUID PHASE VALVE)
