The UC100 Progate ice dispenser solves your ice ser v ice needs in a sanit ar y, space saving, economical
way. Designed to be manually filled with Ice-O-Matic half cube ice.
CAUTION: The dispenser cannot be used with crushed or flaked ice. Use of bagged ice
which has frozen into large chunks can void warranty. The dispenser agitator is not
designed to be an ice crusher. Use of large chunks of ice which “jam up” inside the hopper
will cause failure of the agitator motor and damage to the hopper.

This ice dispenser has been specifically designed to provide protection against personal injury and
eliminate contamination of ice. To ensu re con tin ue d pr ot ec tio n an d sa nitation, obse r ve th e fo llo win g :
IMPORTANT: Disconnect power to the dispenser before servicing or cleaning.
NEVER: place hands inside of hopper or gate area without disconnecting power to the dispenser.
Agitator rotation occurs automatically when dispenser is energized!
ALWAYS: be sure the removable lid is properly installed to prevent unauthorized access to the hopper
interior and possible contamination of the ice.
ALWAYS: be sure the upper and lower front panels are securely fastened.
ALWAYS: keep area around the dispenser clean of ice cubes.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the Installer to ensure that the water supply to the
dispensing equipment is provided with protection against backflow by an air gap as defined in
ANSI/ASME A112. 1.2–1979; or an approved vacuum breaker or other such method as proved
effective by test.
1.Locate the dispenser indoors on a level counter top.
A. Caster Option
Unpack the four (4) casters and inst all them into the threade d holes provided in the bottom of the
unit. The installer must provide flexibility in the product and utility supply to permit shifting the
position of the dispenser sufficiently to clean the area beneath it.
B. Counter Mounting
The ice dispenser must be sealed to the counter. The mounting template (see FIGURE 1)
indicates where openings can be cut in the counter. Locate the desired position for the
dispenser, then mark the outline dimensions on the counter using the template drawings. Cut
openings in counter.
Apply a continuous bead of NSF International (NSF) silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal)
approximately 1/4-inch inside of the unit outline dimensions and around all openings. Then,
position the unit on the counter within the outline dimensions. All excess sealant must be wiped
away immediately.
2.The drain lines, power cord and air supply are routed through the openings in the bottom of the unit.

4.Clean the hopper interior (see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS in Operator’s Manual).
5.Connect the power cord to a 120 volt, 60 cycle, 15–Amp, 3–wire grounded receptacle.
Set Up Supplied Air Compressor
1.Set up and install the air compressor, follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
2.Route the 1/4” beverage tube from the air compressor to the air va lve solenoid inlet tube connector
on the dispenser.
NOTE: The filter/regulator is preset to 50 psi and should not require adjustment.
CAUTION: Before connecting the CO2 regulator assembly to a CO2 cylinder, turn the regulator
adjusting screw to the left (counterclockwise) until all tension is relieved from the adjusting screw
spring.
1.Open (counterclockwise) CO
the valve fully to back-seat the valve. (Back-seating the valve prevents leakage around the valve
shaft).
2.The CO
regulator is fixed at a nominal 100 psi.

3.Route the 1/4” beverage tube from the CO
NOTE: The filter/regulator is preset to 50 psi and should not require adjustment.
UNIT OPERATION
WARNING: The unit must be el ectrically grounded to avo id possible fat al electrical shock or serious
injury to the operator. The unit power cord is equipped with a three-prong plug. If a three-hole
(grounded) electrical outlet is not available, use an approved method to ground the unit.
1.Fill the hopper with ice.
2.Connect electrical power to the dispenser. The dispenser will enter the Prime mode and fill the ice
chute completely full.
3.Check for air and CO
4.Push one of the “V” buttons on the keypad to dispense a large (Venti) cup of ice. This ensures the
ice chute is completely full.

Keypad Function Description
Just above the keypad is an information display that will show a code 2 through 4 letter. This code is to
notify the user the status/error of the dispenser. Listed below are the codes and their meaning:
PR (Prime) - This code will display when the unit has just been powered.
ICE - When displayed, ice levels are low or close to empty inside the hopper.
LOC (Lock) - When displayed, check to make sure that ice bin covers, ice chute transition, piece ice
flapper and ice chute are attached pr operly. Once secured, push the “M” button on the keypad to return to
dispense mode.
FILL - When displayed, all ice has been consumed and needs to be replaced. Refill the ice bin. Close all
ice bin covers and push the “M” button on the keypad to return to dispen se mode.
ERR (Error) - When displayed, a system fault has occurred. Push the “M” button on the keypad to reset
the dispenser and return to dispense mode.
START-UPAND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the hopper with ice and then push one of the “V” buttons on the keypad to dispense a large cup of ice.
Repeat this procedure every time the dispenser has run out of ice. Dispense a large cup of ice. Repeat
this procedure whenever the dispenser has run out of ice. This insures that the ice chute is completely
filled before use.
CAUTION: Use caution to avoid spilling ice when filling the dispenser. Clean up any spilled
ice immediately. To prevent contamination of ice, the lid must be installed on the unit at all
times.
UC100 Installation Manual
