Icer.ette 84, 85, 84E, 84B, 85E Installation, Operation, Maintenance And Troubleshooting Manual

INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: Raritan Engineering Company, Inc. recommends that a qualified technician install, troubleshoot

and repair this product. Equipment damage, injury to personnel or death could result from
improper installation. Raritan Engineering Company, Inc. accepts no responsibility or liability
from damage to equipment, or injury or death to personnel that may result from improper
installation of this product.

WARNING: Refrigeration Equipment contains refrigerant fluids under very HIGH PRESSURE. Danger of

sudden pressure release may cause injury, death or severe frostbite resulting from not following
instructions.

CAUTIONS: DO NOT plug a 120 volt unit into a 240 volt power source.

DO NOT plug a 240 volt unit into a 120 volt power source.
DO NOT use a transformer to step down 240 volt 50 HZ power supply to 120 volt.

Equipment designed for 60 HZ may run slow on 50 HZ, resulting in inferior operation and possible
overheating of the motor(s).

WARNING: This device is not ignition protected. DO NOT install in compartments containing gasoline tanks

or in areas in which

ignition protected equipment is required.

INTRODUCTION

Model 84 and 85 Icer-ettes are CFC-Free automatic
icemakers designed and manufactured especially for
the marine environment. They produce up to 22 lbs
(10kg) of crescent shaped ice per day and can store 11
lbs (5kg). Model 84 is designed for installations
where less than counter height is available and the 85
is designed for counter height installaions. Each
model has a flush mount option which prevents the
door from extending beyond the cabinets. Installation
and maintenance are simple because no drain is
required and the thermostat is fixed; never needing
adjustment.

MODEL 85

OPERATION

The Icer-ette's on-off switch is just beneath the door.
A unit begins to produce ice within 60 minutes after
start-up. Ice production stops automatically when the
bucket is full enough to interfere with the wire shut­off arm. The unit should not be turned "off" with the
door closed and ice or water inside.

NOTES:

1. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear
"cloudy". This is trapped air in the water and
does not affect the taste or quality of the ice.

2. "Hollow" ice cubes may result from fast­freezing under certain climatic conditions such
as high humidity, etc. and is not an indication
of a problem with the icemaker.

MODEL 84

MAINTENANCE

√ Periodically vacuum dust and dirt from the

condenser, located behind the grille at the
bottom front of the unit.

√ Regularly inspect plumbing connections to

insure that no leaks are present.

When necessary, defrost and thoroughly clean the
inside of the unit with mild soap and water. Do

not use electrical heating devices, sharp or
pointed tools when defrosting.

When defrosting or leaving the unit turned off,
prop and leave the door open using door prop.
This allows air to dry the inside of the cabinet,
reducing the chance for mildew and damage to
the mold mechanism's components.

WINTERIZING

WARNING: Disconnect power at source

MAINTENANCE

before working on the unit. Do not winterize
this unit with ANY type of anti-freeze; damage
to the mold coating will occur, invalidating
product's Limited Warranty and creating
potential health hazard.

1. Shut off the water supply to the unit.

2. Disconnect as follows:
Model 85: Disconnect water supply connector

behind front grille at solenoid valve (garden hose
connector). Remove white plastic tubing and nut
from bottom of solenoid valve.

Model 84: Disconnect the in-line water supply
connector behind the front grille.

3. Turn power on. Allow unit to run for an hour.
Remove any cubes that may have been ejected

during this period. Turn off power and prop
door open to allow the inside to defrost. After
it has defrosted, wipe it dry and leave door
open using door prop.

RECOMMISSIONING

Connect water supply lines, turn on water, check
for leaks, then restore power to the unit. After
initial cool down of 45-60 minutes, the unit will
cycle approximately every 40 minutes.

START-UP

Turn on water, check for leaks and then turn on
power. Turn on switch (located just below Icer-ette
door). Fan and compressor will normally turn on
immediately, resulting in air circulation through the
grille and a faint hum from the compressor. If
machine was shut off while in ice harvesting cycle,
it will have to complete the cycle before compressor
and fan turn on (approximately 5 minutes). Interior
temperature will drop below freezing. First harvest
of ice should occur within 60 minutes of start-up.
After lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and
refilling occur every 40 minutes or less, under normal
conditions.

MOUNTING
Required Cabinet Opening:
Model 84: 14 3/8" W x 18 1/2"H
Model 85: 14 3/8" W x 24 5/8"H
WARNING: If rubber feet are removed from the

bottom of 85 series units, the mounting screws
must be reinstalled into the bottom of the cabinet
to avoid damage to components mounted to the
base pan.

If unit is to be built-in, 3/4" (2cm) or more must be
allowed behind the unit for water line and plug
clearance for proper operation. Built-in units are
designed for zero clearance at the top and each side
of the unit. Fan-forced condenser cooling is used.
This requires air circulation through lower section of
unit (see Fig. #1). If Icer-ette is to be installed behind
closed doors, contact Raritan Technical Support.

CAUTION: Any restriction of airflow or
ventilation will disrupt normal operation of the
unit, resulting in damage to components and
voids warranty.

Unit must sit on a secure level surface. Mounting
flange must NOT be used to support the unit's
weight.

When installing the unit it should be noted that some
servicing requires access to the rear of the unit and
that the unit must be readily removable should
servicing be necessary.

When mounting unit within cabinetry, make sure
that the door has the desired range of motion. All
doors are hinged on the right (facing the unit) but
may be reversed in the field.

PLUMBING

A minimum of 22 P.S.I. (152kPa) is required for
proper operation of the water valve (see #26, page 4).

When plumbing Icer-ette, 18" (45cm) of water line
extends from the back with a 1/4" plastic female
compression fitting. Drains are not required; just a
water supply.

WIRING

WARNING: HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

- Never use extension cords or plug adapters to
power unit. Never remove the ground prong
from the plug.

Power Requirements: 120 volts 60 HZ AC

(alternating current); a three-wire cord with grounded
plug is supplied, OR: 240 volts 50 HZ AC
(alternating current), supplied with Euro-plug.

BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY TROUBLESHOOTING
OR REPAIR OF ICER-ETTE UNITS.

WARNING: It is recommended that only a qualified refrigeration technician perform service on Icer-ettes. Because of

high voltage, high pressure refrigeration, and presence of water in the unit, a person who is not technically
qualified may be subject to electric shock hazard. If the Icer-ette is wired to a junction box or otherwise direct
to the AC power supply, the appropriate circuit breaker must be turned off to cut the power to the machine.
TURNING THE ON-OFF SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION DOES NOT DISCONNECT THE UNIT
FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND THE DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK WILL REMAIN.

This Troubleshooting Section is to be used only as a guideline to assist in determining any problem. Raritan does not
guarantee that the recommendations or corrections listed below will correct the problem.

PROBLEM

1.Compressor and fan not run­ning.

2. Icer-ette will not get cold
enough to freeze cubes in
the mold.

3. Icer-ette freezes but water
does not come into mold; no
ice production.

TROUBLESHOOTING

4. Icer-ette will freeze cubes
but will not eject them.

5.Icer-ette stops in mid-ejec­tion cycle; compressor will
not come back on.

6.Icer-ette makes and ejects
cubes but at a very slow
rate.

7.Icer-ette frosts up inside and
has to be defrosted often.

ice; water overflows the ice
mold and runs into storage
bucket; solid block of ice.
