Carbon Dioxide (CO2) displaces oxygen. Exposure
to a high concentration of CO2 gas causes tremors,
which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness
and suffocation. If a CO2 gas leak is suspected,
particularly in a small area, immediately ventilate
the area before repairing the leak. CO2 lines and
pumps must not be installed in an enclosed space.
An enclosed space can be a cooler or small room
or closet. This may include convenience stores with
glass door self serve coolers. If you suspect CO2
may build up in an area, venting of the B-I-B pumps
and / or CO2 monitors must be utilized.

Maintenance
Door Gasket Maintenance
Door gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and
mildew build up and also to retain the elasticity of the gasket.
Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water.
Avoid full strength cleaning products on gaskets as this can
cause them to become brittle and crack. Never use sharp tools
or knives to scrape or clean the gasket. Gaskets can be easily
replaced and do not require the use of tools or an authorized
service person. The gaskets are “Dart” style and can be pulled
out of the groove in the door and new gaskets can be “pressed”
back into place.
Drain Maintenance - Base
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit that removes
the condensation from the evaporator coil and routes it to an
external condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can become
loose or disconnected during normal use. If you notice water
accumulation on the inside of the unit be sure the drain tube
is connected to the evaporator drain pan. If water is collecting
underneath the unit make sure the end of the drain tube is in
the condensate evaporator in the machine compartment. The
leveling of the unit is important as the units are designed to
drain properly when level. Be sure all drain lines are free of
obstructions.
Caster Maintenance
Wipe casters with a damp cloth monthly to prevent corrosion.
The power switch must be turned to OFF and the
unit disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or
cleaning the refrigerated area.
Refrigerators
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and
warm water. If this isn’t suffi cient, try ammonia and water or a
nonabrasive liquid cleaner. When cleaning the exterior, always
rub with the “grain” of the stainless steel to avoid marring the
fi nish. Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the
stainless steel and can damage the breaker strips and gaskets.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
To prevent discoloration or rust on stainless steel several
important steps need to be taken. First, we need to understand
the properties of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains 70- 80%
iron, which will rust. It also contains 12-30% chromium, which
forms an invisible passive fi lm over the steel’s surface, which
acts as a shield against corrosion. As long as the protective
layer is intact, the metal is still stainless. If the fi lm is broken
or contaminated, outside elements can begin to breakdown the
steel and begin to form discoloration or rust. Proper cleaning of
stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic scouring pads.
NEVER USE STEEL P ADS, WIRE BRUSHES OR SCRAPERS!
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-chloride
cleaners. Any cleaner containing chlorides will damage
the protective fi lm of the stainless steel. Chlorides are also
commonly found in hard water, salts, and household and
industrial cleaners. If cleaners containing chlorides are used be
sure to rinse repeatedly and dry thoroughly. Routine cleaning
of stainless steel can be done with soap and water. Extreme
stains or grease should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner
and plastic scrub pad. Always rub with the grain of the steel.
There are stainless steel cleaners available which can restore
and preserve the fi nish of the steels protective layer. Early signs
of stainless steel breakdown are small pits and cracks. If this
has begun, clean thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel
cleaners in attempt to restore the passivity of the steel.
Never use an acid based cleaning solution! Many
food products have an acidic content, which can
deteriorate the fi nish. Be sure to clean the stainless
steel surfaces of ALL food products. Common items
include, tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the
condenser fi ns must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease
regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least every
three months. If conditions are such that the condenser is totally
blocked in three months, the frequency of cleaning should be
increased. Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or stiff
brush. If extremely dirty, a commercially available condenser
cleaner may be required.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high
temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous operation
with a dirty or clogged condenser coil can result in compressor
failure. Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures will
void any warranties associated with the compressor and cost to
replace the compressor.
Never use a high-pressure water wash for this
cleaning procedure as water can damage the
electrical components located near or at the
condenser coil.
Doors/Hinges
Over time and with heavy use doors the hinges may become
loose. If this happens tighten the screws that mount the hinge
brackets to the frame of the unit. Loose or sagging doors can
cause the hinges to pull out of the frame, which may damage
both the doors and the hinges. In some cases this may require
qualifi ed service agents or maintenance personnel to perform
repairs.
Do not place hot pans on/against the blue ABS
liner. Do not throw items into the storage area.
Failure to follow these recommendations could
result in damage to the interior of the cabinet or
to the blower coil. Overloading the storage area,
restricting the airfl ow, and continuous opening and
closing of the doors and drawers will hamper the
units ability to maintain operational temperature.
Preventing blower coil corrosion
To help prevent corrosion of the blower coil, store all acidic
items, such as pickles and tomatoes, in sealable containers.
Immediately wipe up all spills.
Continuous opening and closing of the doors will hamper the
unit’s ability to maintain optimum refrigeration temperature. Top
section is not intended for overnight storage. Product should be
removed from pans. Pans can remain in unit while empty.

Shaver Blade Replacement
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, unplug the unit before beginning any repair or upgrade
work.
WARNING: Shaver and Blender Blades are sharp! Handle with caution to avoid injury.
NOTE: Actual components may differ slightly in appearance from those shown in this Update.
1. Unplug the unit from its power source.
2. Remove the Lid and the Ice Shelf from the Ice Bin.
3. Remove the Shaver Wheel. To do so, hold the Shaver Wheel fi rmly with one hand while
turning the Paddle nut counterclockwise with the other hand, as shown in Figure A. If the
Paddle Nut is too tight to loosen by hand, use a pair of pliers. After removing the Paddle Nut,
pull the Shaver Wheel up and off of the shaft.
4. The Ice Shaver Blade should now be exposed. Remove the two screws that secure the
blade, as shown in Figure B. Note that the screw holes in the Shaver blade are recessed to
allow the mounting screws to fi t fl ush with the top surface of the blade. When installing the
new Shaver Blade, be sure to mount it with the recessed side facing upward. Also note the
number and type of shims underneath the blade (See Figure C.). The two different types of
shims are easily distinguishable by their thickness. There may be a number of different shim
combinations based on the vintage of your unit, including but not limited to one thin shim
alone, one thick shim alone and one thick shim in combination with up to fi ve thin shims. Be
sure to note this accurately when you remove the blade.
5. The Ice Shaver Blade Replacement Kit, shown in Figure D, includes:
• (1) Shaver Blade (STM519) NOTE: The replacement Shaver Blade may differ in
appearance from the blade currently installed.
• (1) Thick Shim (STM517)
• (4) Thin Shims (STM514)
• (2) Mounting Screws (FST527) NOTE: Mounting Screws may be a different length than
the screws that you currently use.
Replace the old blade with the blade from the kit, along with the same combination of shims
that existed when you removed the old blade. You can reuse the old shims or use the shims
provided in the kit as long as the combination is the same as the original. Be sure to mount
the blade so that the side with recessed screw holes is facing up.
6. Secure the new blade with the new screws provided. The new screws should be compatible
with any shim confi guration even if they are longer than the original screws.
7. Replace the shaver wheel and secure the paddle nut as tightly as possible BY HAND. No
tools should be required to tighten the paddle nut.
8. MAKE SURE THAT THE PADDLE NUT IS TIGHT AND ROTATE THE SHAVER WHEEL
COUNTERCLOCKWISE BY HAND. THERE SHOULD BE NO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN
THE SHAVER WHEEL AND THE ICE SHAVER BLADE. IF THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE
OF INTERFERENCE SUCH AS A SCRAPING NOISE OR DIFFICULTY TURNING THE
SHAVER WHEEL, REMOVE THE SHAVER WHEEL AND THE ICE SHAVER BLADE. YOU
CAN LOWER THE BLADE HEIGHT BY REMOVING SHIMS. START BY REMOVING THE
THIN SHIMS FIRST, ONE AT A TIME. CHECK FOR INTERFERENCE AFTER REMOVING
EACH SHIM. PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP ONLY WHEN NO INTERFERENCE EXISTS.
FAILURE TO ENSURE CLEARANCE CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ICE SHAVER

Refrigeration Operation
Default temperature setpoint = 36°F (2.2°C) with a 4°F
(2.2°C) Differential
Normal Operation
The microprocessor control board controls the cabinet
temperature based on the input received from the
cabinet temperature thermistor. The thermistor value
is compared to the control board setpoint. When the
reach-in temperature is equal or greater than the
setpoint (plus half the differential) the compressor relay
closes provided the following conditions are satisfi ed:
1. Power has been uninterrupted to the control board
for a 3 minute period.
OR
1. The 3 minute compressor time delay has expired.
The delay period starts after the compressor has
run and then cycles off.
2. The blender motor is off - If the blender motor is
operating the compressor relay closes when the
blender motor stops (provided # 1 above is true).
The compressor relay opens when the reach-in
temperature is less than the setpoint (minus half the
differential).
Evaporator and Condenser Fan Motor Operation
The condenser fan motor and compressor share the
same relay. The evaporator fan motor relay is energized
continuously and the evaporator fan cycles off only
during cleaning cycle.
Operation in the Clean/Sanitize cycle
During the weekly cleaning/sanitize cycle the evaporator
fan motor relay and the condenser fan motor/
compressor relay are de-energized. The relays cannot
energize until the clean/sanitize cycle is complete.
Upon completion of the clean/sanitize cycle the relays
will energize provided the conditions listed in normal
operation are satisfi ed.
Maximum Compressor Run Time
After 180 minutes of cumulative compressor run time,
the compressor will be de-energized for fi fteen (15)
minutes.
High Temp Alarm
High temp alarm will display when product thermistor
is above 42ºF (5.6°C) for 30 minutes and following
conditions are satisfi ed
3 hours since power is applied
1 hour since cleaning cycle
Error display will reset when temperature reaches 41ºF
(5°C) or below.
Thermistor Failure
If the microprocessor control board receives an open
or shorted cabinet thermistor signal the following will
happen:
1. A fault is displayed on the LCD screen sensor
• Cabinet sensor open
OR
• Cabinet sensor shorted
1. The microprocessor will initiate a default sequence
for the refrigeration system - 12 minutes on, 3
minutes off.
2. The default cycle continues until the fault is
corrected or power is disconnected. Refer to
Cabinet Temperature Thermistor for diagnostic
procedures.

Compressor Electrical Diagnostics
THE COMPRESSOR DOES NOT START OR WILL
TRIP REPEATEDLY ON OVERLOAD.
Check Resistance (Ohm) Values
Compressor windings can have very low ohm values.
Use a properly calibrated meter.
Perform the resistance test after the compressor cools.
The compressor dome should be cool enough to touch
(below 120°F/49°C) to assure that the overload is
closed and the resistance readings will be accurate.
Single Phase Compressors
Disconnect power then remove the wires from the
compressor terminals.
The resistance values between C and S and between
C and R, when added together, should equal the
resistance value between S and R.
If the overload is open, there will be a resistance
reading between S and R, and open readings between
C and S and between C and R. Allow the compressor to
cool, then check the readings again.
Check Motor Windings to Ground
Check continuity between all three terminals and the
compressor shell or copper refrigeration line. Scrape
metal surface to get good contact. If continuity is
present, the compressor windings are grounded and the
compressor should be replaced.
COMPRESSOR DRAWING LOCKED ROTOR
To determine if the compressor is seized, check the
amp draw while the compressor is trying to start.
The two likely causes of this are a defective starting
component and a mechanically seized compressor.
To determine which you have:
Install high and low side gauges.
Try to start the compressor.
Watch the pressures closely.
If the pressures do not move, the compressor is seized.
Replace the compressor.
DIAGNOSING CAPACITORS
If the compressor attempts to start, or hums and trips
the overload protector, check the starting components
before replacing the compressor.
Visual evidence of capacitor failure can include a bulged
terminal end or a ruptured membrane. Do not assume a
capacitor is good if no visual evidence is present.
A good test is to install a known good substitute
capacitor.
Use a capacitor tester when checking a suspect
capacitor. Clip the bleed resistor off the capacitor
terminals before testing.
DIAGNOSING START COMPONENTS
If the compressor attempts to start, or hums and trips
the overload protector, check the start components
before replacing the compressor.
Capacitor
Visual evidence of capacitor failure can include a bulged
terminal end or a ruptured membrane. Do not assume
a capacitor is good if no visual evidence is present. A
good test is to install a known good substitute capacitor.
Use a capacitor tester when checking a suspect
capacitor. Clip the bleed resistor off the capacitor
terminals before testing.
Relay
The relay has a set of contacts that connect and
disconnect the start capacitor from the compressor start
winding. The contacts on the relay are normally open.
The relay senses the voltage generated by the start
winding and closes and then opens the contacts as the
compressor motor starts. The contact remain open until
the compressor is de-energized.
If the pressures move, the compressor is turning slowly
and is not seized. Check the capacitors and relay.
Compressor Drawing High Amps
The continuous amperage draw on start-up should not
be near the maximum fuse size indicated on the serial
tag.

Ice Machine is in the freeze cycle.
• Close the high and low side manifold gauge set.
• Remove the hoses from the Blended Ice Machine
and install the caps.
System Contamination Cleanup
General
This section describes the basic requirements for
restoring contaminated systems to reliable service.
Important
Multiplex assumes no responsibility for the use of
contaminated refrigerant. Damage resulting from
the use of contaminated refrigerant is the sole
responsibility of the servicing company.
DETERMINING SEVERITY OF CONTAMINATION
System contamination is generally caused by either
moisture or residue from compressor burnout entering
the refrigeration system.
Inspection of the refrigerant usually provides the fi rst
indication of system contamination. Obvious moisture or
an acrid odor in the refrigerant indicates contamination.
If either condition is found, or if contamination is
suspected, use a Total Test Kit from Totaline or a similar
diagnostic tool. These devices sample refrigerant,
eliminating the need to take an oil sample. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions.
If a refrigerant test kit indicates harmful levels of
contamination, or if a test kit is not available, inspect the
compressor oil.
1. Remove the refrigerant charge from the Blended Ice
Machine.
2. Remove the compressor from the system.
3. Check the odor and appearance of the oil.
4. Inspect open suction and discharge lines at the
compressor for burnout deposits.
5. If no signs of contamination are present, perform
an acid oil test to determine the type of cleanup
required.

Severe contamination cleanup procedure
Mild System Contamination Cleanup
Procedure
1. Replace any failed components.
2. If the compressor is good, change the oil.
3. Replace the liquid line drier.
NOTE: If the contamination is from moisture, use
heat lamps during evacuation. Position them at
the compressor, condenser and evaporator prior to
evacuation. Do not position heat lamps too close to
plastic components, or they may melt or warp.
Dry nitrogen is recommended for this procedure. This
will prevent CFC release.
1. Follow the normal evacuation procedure, except
replace the evacuation step with the following:
• Pull vacuum to 1000 microns. Break the vacuum
with dry nitrogen and sweep the system. Pressurize
to a minimum of 5 psig (34kPa).
• Pull vacuum to 500 microns. Break the vacuum with
dry nitrogen and sweep the system. Pressurize to a
minimum of 5 psig (34kPa).
• Change the vacuum pump oil.
• Pull vacuum to 500 microns. Run the vacuum pump
for 1/2 hour .
NOTE: You may perform a pressure test as a
preliminary leak check. You should use an electronic
leak detector after system charging to be sure there are
no leaks.
1. Charge the system with the proper refrigerant to the
nameplate charge.
2. Operate the Blended Ice Machine.
Severe System Contamination Cleanup
Procedure
1. Remove the refrigerant charge.
2. Remove the compressor.
3. Wipe away any burnout deposits from suction and
discharge lines at compressor.
4. Sweep through the open system with dry nitrogen.
NOTE: Refrigerant sweeps are not recommended, as
they release CFCs into the atmosphere.
5. Install a new compressor and new start
components.
6. Install suction line fi lter-drier in front of compressor.
7. Install a new liquid line drier.
8. Follow the normal evacuation procedure, except
replace the evacuation step with the following:
• Pull vacuum to 1000 microns. Break the vacuum
with dry nitrogen and sweep the system. Pressurize
to a minimum of 5 psig (34 kPa).
• Change the vacuum pump oil.
• Pull vacuum to 500 microns. Break the vacuum with
dry nitrogen and sweep the system. Pressurize to a
minimum of 5 psig (34 kPa).
• Change the vacuum pump oil.
• Pull vacuum to 500 microns. Run the vacuum pump
for 1 additional hour.
9. Charge the system with the proper refrigerant to the
nameplate charge.
10. Operate the refrigeration system for one hour. Then,
check the pressure drop across the suction line
fi lter-drier.
• If the pressure drop is less than 2 psig (14 kPa), the
fi lter-drier should be adequate for complete cleanup.
• If the pressure drop exceeds 2 psig (14 kPa),
change the suction line fi lter-drier and the liquid line
drier. Repeat until the pressure drop is acceptable.
• Operate the refrigeration system for 48 – 72 hours.
Replace the suction line and liquid line drier if
necessary.

R-290 Service Procedure
1. All service work must be performed by personnel
qualifi ed to handle fl ammable refrigerants.
2. NO SMOKING
3. Disconnect all power to the unit being serviced.
4. Move the unit to be serviced to a well ventilated
area.
5. Check for leaks using a calibrated Hydro Carbon
leak detector.
6. Keep all electrical equipment and other sources of
ignition back 10’ (two meters).
7. Follow the Recovery/Evacuation procedure above
to repair the refrigeration system.
Filter-Driers
A Multiplex fi lter-drier has high moisture and acid
removal capability.
The size of the fi lter-drier is important. The refrigerant
charge is critical. Using an improperly sized fi lter-drier
will cause the Blended Ice Machine to be improperly
charged with refrigerant.
Drier DML-032S, 1/4” (.64cm) end connection is the
recommended OEM fi eld replacement drier.
Driers are covered as a warranty part. The drier must be
replaced any time the system is opened for repairs.
