6.Drain the evaporator water pans (a)(c) by
removing the connection tube behind the
metal evaporator support (b) (FIGURE 3).
The water MUST be drained from both
RIGHT and LEFT pan. Failure to do so will
cause the pressure transducer (which
controls the harvest cycle) to be set
improperly on start up.
DO NOT drain the water into the ice
storage area, unless the area is
completely free of ice.
Replace the connection tube and metal
support when the pans are completely
drained.
NOTE: The water pump motor must be
protected from water splash. DO NOT
introduce water into the motor housing.
Warranty on water pump is VOID if water
damaged.

inlet and outlet lines (FIGURE 14).
Remove enough insulation to safely
disconnect these lines.
WARNING: All plastic, electrical, or sensing
components, assemblies, or harnesses must
be protected when heating the refrigeration
lines.
Failure to take appropriate actions may
result in damage to the unit.
THE REFRIGERANT IN THE SYSTEM
SHOULD BE RECOVERED AND THE
SYSTEM PURGED WITH NITROGEN PRIOR
TO ANY BRAZING OPERATIONS.
Failure to take appropriate actions may
cause damage to the unit and result in
personal injury or death.
18.If the refrigerant in the system has been
fully recovered, open the high side service
valve.

Attach a nitrogen feed (a) to the low side
service valve (5-10 psi) (FIGURE 14).
Open the low side service valve to purge
the system with nitrogen.
As power to the unit has been
disconnected, disassemble the hot gas
valve to allow nitrogen to flow through the
entire system (FIGURE 15).

DO NOT remove the water lines from the
condenser.
WARNING: DO NOT apply excessive heat to
the water side of the condenser. Protect in
the same manner as an expansion valve or
other heat sensitive equipment.

It is the policy of Cornelius, Inc. to:
A. Comply with all federal regulations concerning the handling of refrigerants.
B. Allow only virgin or reclaimed refrigerant (as defined by ARI Standard 740-91) to be used as or
added to an original system charge.
C. Allow recycled refrigerant to be used only in the system from which it was originally recovered;
and only if that system did NOT have a compressor burn out or refrigeration leak; and only if
moisture, non-condensables, or other contaminates were NOT present in that system.
D. Refrigerant recovered from a contaminated system such as a compressor burn-out, refrigerant
leak, or one that has moisture, air, or other non-condensables present, must be disposed of in
an appropriate manner and cannot, under any circumstances, be reused in any Cornelius
product. If the refrigerant has been reclaimed and meets ARI Standard 700-88, it can be used.
E. The refrigerant used to recharge a Cornelius product must be of the type specified on the serial
nameplate of that product. All refrigerants must be weighed into the system so the amount of the
charge is known and agrees with the product serial nameplate.
IMPORTANT: The service contractor is responsible for determining if the refrigerant is
contaminated. It is also their responsibility to assure their recycling equipment and procedures
will guarantee that the refrigerant is clean, moisture and non-condensable free and meets the
appropriate standard. If the refrigerant is not cleaned to the appropriate standard, the warranty
will be voided and the repair will become the responsibility of the service contractor.
Always follow safe and acceptable refrigeration procedures.
58.Once the system has been properly charged, monitor the unit for 3-4 freeze/harvest cycles. Refer to
the operating manual for details on proper unit operation and performance.
59.After verifying the proper operation of the
unit, replace the electrical control box
cover (a) using (1) Phillips head screw.
Replace the evaporator splash panel (b)
(FIGURE 40).
