This ice dispenser has been specifically designed to provide protection against personal injury and eliminates
contamination of ice. To insure continued protection and sanitation, observe the following
Always 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 the dispenser is energized!
ALWAYS be sure the removable lid is properly installed to prevent unauthorized access to the hopper interior and possible contamination of ice.
ALWAYS be sure the upper and lower front panels are securely fastened.
ALWAYS keep area around the dispenser clean of ice cubes.
CAUTION: 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. If bagged ice
is used, it must be carefully and completely broken into small, cube-sized pieces before filling into
the dispenser hopper.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Remcor TJ200 and TJ300 series of ice dispensers solve your ice service needs the sanitary, space saving,
economical way. Designed to be manually filled with ice from any remote ice making source, or to be used with
one of several “piped ice” type ice makers or top-mounted “Ice cuber,”
These dispensers will dispense cubes (up 1-3/8” in size), cubelets, hard-chipped or cracked ice. Remcor dispensers cannot be used with crushed or flaked ice.
“B” models contain beverage faucets only and must be supplied with cold product from any remote cold plate or
refrigerated soda factory.
“BC” models contain beverage faucets and an internal cold plate system. They are designed to be supplied direct from syrup tanks and carbonator, with no additional cooling required.
The TJ250 with 19” x 28” cold plate is shipped with sink not installed. After beverage hook-up is complete, sink
is to be positioned with cabinet side flange slots and push sink in. Install side mounting pins to retain sink. Make
sure all drain connections are complete.
“B”, “BC”, “KBC”, and “KB” models: supplied with 6’, 3-wire Cord with 3-prong Ground Type
Plug
“A” Models: Supplied with 2 x 4 junction box located in lower cabinet enclosure for permanent
wiring installation.
REMCOR “A” and “K” model ice/beverage dispensers are designed to be used with one of several “piped ice”
type ice makers or top-mount “ice cubers.” These must be obtained from the appropriate manufacturer or distributor in your area.
The following ice makers are approved for use on the TJ150 “K” models:
FEED TUBE OR ICE MAKER INSTALLATION KIT
This kit contains parts and instructions necessary to connect the ice maker to the ice dispenser. Be sure the kit
you receive is proper for your ice maker. The following kits are approved for use on the TJ200 / 250 / 300 “A,”
“K” dispensers:
1. The ice dispenser must be sealed to the counter The template drawing (Figure 10 and 11) indicate openings which must 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) listed silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approximately 1/4” 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. “A” models must be
fastened in place with mounting hardware provided.
2. Carefully pull the beverage tubes, drain line and power cord through the large opeinings in the bottom of
the unit. See (Figure 10 and 11), MOUNTING TEMPLATES, for locating the required clearance holes in the
counter for these utility lines.
3. “A” and “K” Models Only: Install the ice maker according to the instructions supplied with the kit, and
manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the ice maker.
4. Connect the drain tube to an open drain. If additional piping is required, it must be 3/4” IPS (or equal). This
line must continually pitch downward away from the unit and must contain no traps, or improper drainage
will result.
5. Connect the beverage system product lines as indicated in Figure 7 (“B” Models), Figure 8 (“BC” Models)
and Figure 9 (“BC” Models with 19 x 28 cold plate and front inlet fittings.) This work should be done by a
qualified service person. Note that the hoses are marked with numbers (1 through 8) for syrup connections
and “CW” for carbonated water connection.
6. Clean the ice dispenser interior (see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS).
7. Connect the dispenser cord to a 115 volt, 60 cycle, 3-wire grounded receptacle. “A” models must be permanently wired and conform to NEC and local codes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
1. Ice Dispensing: Depressing the operating lever activates a micro switch behind the front panel which energizes the agitator motor and gate solenoid. This causes the agitator to rotate and the gate slide to lift, allowing ice to push out the gate opening.
2. Ice level (Standard Models): When ice level light is on, remove the lid and fill the hopper with ice. Replace
lid to avoid contamination of ice.
CAUTION: Use caution to avoid spilling ice when filling dispenser. Clean up immediately
any spilled ice from filling or operating the unit. To prevent contamination of ice, the lid
must be stalled on the unit at all times.
Automatic Ice Filling (“A” models): While the ice maker is running, the ice entering the hopper from the feed
tube should be loose and in small pieces. Ice entering in the form of hard-packed cylinders indicates a restriction or distortion of the feed tube and could result in ice maker malfunction, if not corrected. The automatic agitation timer causes the ice to level which allows the entire storage bin to fill before the ice machine
shuts off. When the ice level remains at the deflector after agitation, the ice maker control capillary (ice
maker bulb) stops ice maker operation until the level drops and the bulbs warm up.
Immediately after ice maker shut-off, observe the ice in the hopper between the feed tube entrance and the
deflector. it should be loosely pressed against the top of the deflector, indicating correct thermostat operation. If the ice level is low or if the ice is packed hard against the deflector, it will be necessary to re-adjust
the ice maker bin control, according to the ice maker instructions. Adjust the control warmer to lower the
ice level and colder to raise the ice level.
Automatic Ice Filling (“K” Models): As the “A” models, the agitation tier causes the ice to level which allows
the entire storage bin to fill before the ice machine shuts off. The ice maker control capillary bulb maintains
the ice level in the storage hopper. Consult the instructions provided with the installation kit and the ice
maker manual for location and operation of the ice maker control.
Beverage System - Beverages may be dispensed by operating the lever on the appropriate faucets. On
units with cold plates (“c” models), periodic movement of the ice in the hopper is necessary to maintain the
level of ice on the cold plate. On initial start-up or after long idle perios with no use, dispensing ice for 20-30
seconds is necessary to fill the cold plate or warm beverages may be experienced.
