ICE Series General Information

How To Use This Manual

Ice-O-Matic provides this manual as an aid to the service technician in installation, operation,
and maintenance of the ICE Series (electro-mechanical) cube ice machines. If used properly
this manual can also assist the service technician to troubleshoot and diagnose most of the
problems that may occur with the machine.

The first two sections of this manual provide general information and maintenance information.
The remainder of the manual beginning with Section C provides troubleshooting and service
information. Section C contains flow charts called troubleshooting trees. Page C-1 provides
instructions on using the troubleshooting trees. Each troubleshooting tree is named to describe
a particular problem with the operation of the machine.

When following the troubleshooting trees, the service technician will be led through questions
and checks and end up with a probable solution. When using the troubleshooting trees, it is
important that the service technician understand the operation and adjustments of the
components being checked and the component suspected of malfunctioning. A detailed
description of the operation and adjustments of the components as well as other service
information is available in the pages that follow Section C.

Sections D, E, and F focus on a particular system in the ice machine: water distribution system,
refrigeration system, and it is important that these sections be used together with the
Troubleshooting Trees in Section C.

Most aspects of the ICE Series machines are covered in this manual, however, should you
encounter any conditions not addressed herein, please contact the Ice-O-Matic Technical
Service Department for assistance. You may also fax, e-mail or write the Ice-O-Matic Technical

Maximum equivalent run is 100 feet.

Formula for figuring maximum equivalent run is as follows:

Rise x 1.7 + Drop x 6.6 + horizontal run = equivalent run.

Examples: 35 ft. rise x 1.7 + 40 ft. horizontal = 99.5 equivalent feet line run

35 ft. rise

40 ft. horizontal

Verify the ICE machine is compatible with the remote
condenser. Some ice machines and some remote
condensers may or may not have a Mixing Valve (Head
Master). Only one valve is required per system. Kits are
available to modify the condenser for compatibility. For
more information contact your Ice-O-Matic Distributor.

ICE Series General Information

How the ICE Machine Works

A general description of how the ICE Series cubers work is given below. The remainder of the
manual provides more detail about the components and systems.

With the ICE/OFF/WASH switch in the ICE position, the compressor, water pump and condenser
fan motor (when applicable) will energize starting the freeze cycle.

During the freeze cycle, water is circulated over the evaporator(s) where the ice cubes are formed.
When the suction pressure has pulled down to the proper cut-in pressure of the timer initiate
(pressure control), the contacts will close and energize the time delay module (timer). See Page
F3 for proper cut-in pressures. At this time the cubes will close to completion.

The remaining portion of the freeze cycle is determined by the timer setting. The timer is pre-set at
the factory to achieve the proper ice bridge thickness but may need to be adjusted upon initial
start-up, see Page F4 for initial timer settings.

Once the amount of time on the timer has passed, the control relay will be energized and the
machine will enter harvest. Power is now supplied to the water purge valve, hot gas valve, and the
harvest motor. The water purge valve opens, and allows the water pump to purge the water
remaining in the water, removing impurities and sediment. This allows the machine to produce
clear ice cubes and keep mineral build up at a minimum. The hot gas solenoid opens allowing hot
gas to go directly to the evaporator, heating the evaporator and breaking the bond between the
evaporator and the ice slab.

The harvest assist motor, which is also energized during harvest, turns a slip clutch, which pushes
a probe against the back of the ice slab. Once the evaporator has reached approximately 40°F
(4.5°F) in temperature, the slip clutch overcomes the bonding of the ice to the evaporator and
pushes the slab of ice off of the evaporator and into the storage bin. The clutch also actuates a
switch that rides on the outer edge of the clutch. When the clutch completes one revolution, the
switch is tripped and the machine enters the next freeze cycle.

When ice drops into a full bin during harvest, the splash curtain is held open which activates a bin
switch shutting the machine off. When ice is removed from the bin, the splash curtain will close
and the machine will come back on.

ICE Series Cabinet Care
Cleaning stainless steel

Commercial grades of stainless steel are susceptible to rusting. It is important that you properly
care for the stainless steel surfaces of your ice machine and bin to avoid the possibility of rust or
corrosion. Use the following recommended guidelines for keeping your stainless steel looking like
new:

1. Clean the stainless steel thoroughly once a week. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of

hard, stubborn stains. Also, hard water stains left to sit can weaken the steel's corrosion
resistance and lead to rust. Use a nonabrasive cloth or sponge, working with, not across, the
grain.

2. Don't use abrasive tools to clean the steel surface. Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponge

pads, wire brushes or scrapers to clean the steel. Such tools can break through the "passivation"
layer - the thin layer on the surface of stainless steel that protects it from corrosion.

3. Don't use cleaners that use chlorine or chlorides. Don't use chlorine bleach or products like

Comet to clean the steel. Chlorides break down the passivation layer and can cause rusting.

4. Rinse with clean water. If chlorinated cleansers are used, you must thoroughly rinse the

surface with clean water and wipe dry immediately.

5. Use the right cleaning agent. The table below lists the recommended cleaning agents for

common stainless steel cleaning problems:

Cleaning Activity Cleaning Agent Method of Application

Routine cleaning Soap, Ammonia, Windex, or Apply with a clean cloth
detergent with water. or sponge. Rinse with
Fantastik, 409 Spic’nSpan clean water and wipe dry.
