Qualified Service Personnel
CAUTION — Only trained and certified electrical, plumbing and refrigeration technicians should
service this unit. ALL WIRING AND PLUMBING MUST CONFORM TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL
CODES.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Warning
WARNING — CO

gas leaks in the entire CO2 and soft drink system. If a CO2 gas leak is suspected, particularly
2
in a small area, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak.
Personnel exposed to high concentration of CO2 gas will experience tremors which are followed
rapidly by loss of consciousness.

be observed in the prevention of
Shipping And Storage
CAUTION — Before shipping, storing, or relocating the Unit, syrup systems must be sanitized
and all sanitizing solution must be purged from the syrup systems. All liquids, after sanitizing, must
be purged from the unit. A freezing ambient environment will cause residual sanitizing solution or
water remaining inside the Unit to freeze resulting in damage to the internal components.

The Ice Drink Cornelius (IDC) series of dispensers solves your ice and beverage service needs in a
sanitary, space saving, economical way. Designed to be manually filled with ice from any remote ice–
making source, these dispensers will dispense cubes (up to 1–1/4 inch in size), cubelets, and
compressed (not flaked). In addition, the units include beverage faucets, a cold plate, an internal
carbonator tank and an external pump for the carbonator, and are designed to be supplied direct from
syrup tanks with no additional cooling required.

IMPORTANT: TO THE INSTALLER.
It is the responsibility of the Installer to ensure that the water supply to the dispensing equipment
is provided with protection against backflow by an air gap as defined in ANSI/ASME A112. 1.2–
1979; or an approved vacuum breaker or other such method as proved effective by test.
Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed,
and maintained according to Federal, State, and Local laws.
1.Locate the dispenser indoors on a level counter top.
A. LEG OPTION
Unpack the four (4) legs and install them into the threaded holes provided in the bottom of the
unit. The installer must provide flexibility in the product and utility supply to permit shifting the
position of the dispenser sufficiently to clean the area beneath it.
COUNTER MOUNTING
The ice drink dispenser must be sealed to the counter. The template drawing indicates where openings
can 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.

TUBING. OPENING CAN BE LOCATED
ANYWHERE WITHIN SHADED AREA.
Apply a continuous bead of NSF International (NSF) silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approximately
1/4-inch 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.
2.The beverage tubes, drain tube and power cord are routed through the large opening in the bottom
of the unit. See the MOUNTING TEMPLATE for locating the required clearance opening in the
counter for these utility lines.
DRIP TRAY DRAIN ASSEMBLY: Route the drain tube to an open drain with the end of the tube above
the “flood” level of the drain. Use the tubing, fittings, clamps, and insulation provided with the Dispenser
to assemble the drain. The completed drain line
must pitch continuously downward and contain no
“traps” or improper drainage will result.

NOTE: IMI Cornelius Inc. recommends that a water shutoff valve and water filter be installed in
the plain water inlet supply line. A Cornelius Water Filter (P/N 313860000) and QUICK
DISCONNECT SET (P/N 313867000) are recommended.
CAUTION: Check the minimum flow rate and the maximum pressure of the plain water inlet supply
line. MINIMUM FLOW RATE MUST BE AT LEAST 125-GALLONS PER HOUR. If flow rate is less
than 125-gallons per hour, starving of the carbonator water pump will occur. Starving will overheat
the carbonator’s water pump, causing the safety thermostat on the pump outlet to stop the water
pump motor. Overheating could occur if the plain water supply line flow rate drops below 125gallons per hour. INCOMING PLAIN WATER INLET SUPPLY LINE WATER TO PUMP PRESSURE
MUST REMAIN A MINIMUM OF 10 psi BELOW THE CARBONATED CO
PRESSURE. (Example: Carbonator CO
operating pressure is 75 psi and the maximum water
2
pressure can be no more than 65 psi, etc.). Static water pressure higher then the static CO
OPERATING
2
2
pressure can cause carbonator flooding, malfunction, and leakage through the carbonator relief
valve. If water is exceeding maximum pressure specifications, a Water Pressure Regulator Kit must
be installed in the plain water inlet supply line.
3.Cut power to the carbonator by turning off its power switch, the switch is located on the junction box
of the pump and motor assembly. Locate the carbonator pump assembly and connect to power cord
from the Ice/Drink Unit to the pump. The cord is connected to the unit’s electrical box and has an
electrical connector on the end that plugs into a receptacle in the junction box at the carbonator
pump assembly. Connect inlet water to pump and pump outlet to Ice/Drink Unit using 3/8-inch foodgrade tubing.
4.Connect the beverage system product tubes as indicated in applicable Flow Diagram in this manual
or on the back of the splash panel. This work should be done by a qualified service person.
NOTE: See applicable Flow Diagram or Decal on the lower front of the unit for the location of
syrup and water connections.
5.Clean the hopper interior.
6.Connect the unit power cord to a 120 volt, 60 cycle, 3–wire grounded receptacle. For 220-240 Volt
International Units, a 3-wire power cord is provided. An adapter plug for the particular country will
need to be provided by the Installer.

1.Open (counterclockwise) CO2 cylinder valve slightly to allow lines to slowly fill with gas, then open
the valve fully to back-seat the valve. (Back-seating the valve prevents leakage around the valve
shaft).
