• Each ice maker and each ice bin must enter the drain stack through separate connections.
Models equipped with a liquid condenser that does not re circulate coolant must have a drain
for each condenser that enters the drain stack through separate connections
• The drain hose or pipe will remain a constant diameter from the machine to the drain
o The building drain must be able to accommodate all the drain water from the ice
machine operation.
• Individual drains will not be directly connected to a common manifold, drain or standpipe. If
individual drains are to be discharged into a common manifold, drain or standpipe, a minimum
38mm (1.5”) air gap must be provided at each connection. This is to prevent any backflow of
drain water into the ice maker or ice bin.
• Drain lines will be installed with a minimum drop of 1” per 3’ run (2.5cm per meter run).
• The temperatures of the water supply fall between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F(32°C)
• The water supply must be potable, not laden with sediment, and have free chlorine levels no
greater than 0.2ppm.
• A minimum 5 psig (0.034 MPA) dynamic water supply pressure is required for proper
operation of the ice maker water valve. Please note that on liquid cooled ice machines, where
the same water supply is used for both condenser cooling and the potable water supply, the
demand for condenser coolant may cause the supply pressure to drop. This is most notable
at the time of peak load, at the beginning of the freeze cycle. The maximum water supply
pressure is 100 psig (0.6 MPA).
• All water lines have been purged before connection.
• All KOLD-DRAFT models are intended to be installed with a permanent connection to the field
electrical supply. Drop cord connections are not to be used with this equipment. Always be
sure the power supply is the same as the ice machine’s electrical specification, which is listed
on the serial number tag on the front of the top frame cross member
• Each ice maker must be connected to the grid through its own dedicated fuse or HACR type
circuit breaker.
• Each ice maker must be connected to a separate protected circuit with no other loads.
• Fused disconnects, installed adjacent to each ice maker, are recommended and may be
required by local codes. These components must be supplied by the installer.
Page 10

• Electrical service must fall within the voltage tolerances listed below:
• Breaker or fuse service must be no greater than the maximum rating as specified on the
rating label attached to the back of the machine.
• The minimum circuit ampacity listed on the back of the machine does not indicate a typical
running current value. Use the minimum ampacity value for sizing branch circuit conductors
up to 26 feet (8 meters) in length. For a conductor length over this length, increase the wire
gauge as required by code.
DANGER: Failure to comply with these regulations may cause serious injury or death
and cause damage to the machine and its surroundings.
Warning: Water Treatment: There are no specific requirements for water treatment provided
that the ice making supply water is potable and not laden with sediment. The use of
additional water treatment may facilitate or reduce the frequency of the need
for cleaning. Please consult your local water conditioning supplier for specific
recommendations.
Note:
• Ambient temperatures higher than the maximum specification will result in reduced
capacities and high system pressures in air-cooled models. Temperatures lower than the
minimum will cause the machine to malfunction due to an inability to eject the ice from the
evaporator. Ambient temperatures less than 60°F (15°C) may cause the bin thermostat to
malfunction.
• Clearance must be provided for ventilation and access for service. Ventilation is
especially important for models with air-cooled condensers. Failure to provide adequate
clearance may result in reduced capacities and high system pressures.
• Ice machine drains and bin drains may be insulated to prevent condensation.
• The use of water treatment may increase the intervals between cleaning operations and
the overall machine life.
• If a water pressure regulator is used, the recommended setting is 30 to 50 psig (0.2 MPA
to 0.3 MPA) dynamic.
• Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply line. Insulate the water line from
sources of heat for greater operating efficiency. Supply water temperatures higher than the
recommended maximum will cause reduced capacities.
• Normal protector size is based on rated voltage and operation at lower than extreme
temperature limits. Branch circuit conductors may be sized to allow increasing the
protector value up to the specified maximum. This may avoid nuisance protector opening
under harsh operating conditions.

Additional Pre-install Information for Cooling Tower Applications (L models)
The ice machine does not need to be modified for use with a cooling tower provided the cooling
tower is properly designed for the application. Information regarding the amount of heat
rejection, as well as the pressure drop through the condenser and liquid valves is required to
properly select or design a cooling tower application for an ice machine.
Coolant entering the condenser must not exceed 90°F (32.2°C).
Coolant exiting the condenser must not exceed 110°F (43.3°C).
Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psi (48 KPA) between the liquid coolant inlet and outlet of the
condenser.
The condenser liquid control valve will regulate the flow of coolant through the condenser,
thereby controlling the high side pressure in the ice machine.

ASSEMBLY
Unpacking
Unpacking a KOLD-DRAFT machine can be done by prying off the boards that are holding the
cardboard box to the shipping pallet. The box can then be lifted vertically to expose the machine.
Tools to complete this job would include a claw hammer or some other form of pry-bar.
Assembly Procedure
1. Remove the ice machine front-cover panel, top-cover panel and side-cover panels from the
ice machine frame.
2. Remove all shipping materials from the ice machine. Cut off the water plate shipping strap.
3. For proper operation the ice machine and ice bin must be on a level surface. If the surface the
ice bin will be installed on is not level, use shims or the adjusters on the ice bin legs to bring
the machine to level. If shims were used, seal the bin to the floor using a sealant with NSF
certification. If there are gaps larger than 1/8” (3mm) install a cove molding around the bottom
of the bin to reduce the gap and seal the cove molding to the floor with the approved sealant.
4. Confirm that the following holes are installed in the bin top: a hole corresponding to the ice
drop zone, drain pan outlet, bin level probe and the threaded mounting holes for the supplied
bolts at the four corners of the machine. The hole for the drain pan outlet should be 2”(5cm) in
diameter to allow sufficient access for the clamp. Drain hoses for drain pan outlets in GT36x,
GT56xA, GB56x and the lower halves of GB106x models get directed through the back of the
ice bin. Drain hoses for drain pan outlets in GT56xL and the upper halves of GB106x models
get directed through pre-cut holes in the back of the ice machine frames. Drain pans should
never be allowed to drain directly into the ice bin. After installation, seal around the drain tube
where it leaves the machine.
Note: All KOLD-DRAFT bins will have a provision for the drain pan outlet tube to exit the rear
of the bin. Ice machines that will be used on bins not manufactured by KOLD-DRAFT will
require a drain riser adapter made by KOLD-DRAFT to allow sufficient clearance for the drain
pan outlet tube to exit the back of the assembly.
5. Install gasket on top of bin if not already installed. Gasket material must be positioned so that
it extends to the outside edge of the perimeter of the ice maker chassis when the ice-maker is
in place. To apply the gasket, peel away the white backing strip and press firmly in place.
6. Carefully lift the ice machine and position it on the ice storage bin. Securely attach the ice
machine to the ice storage bin with the supplied washers and bolts or other non-corroding
hardware if not installed on a KOLD-DRAFT bin. If the ice machine is installed on an installed
with an accessory such as a crusher, follow the installation instructions with the other
equipment.
DANGER: It is highly recommended that 2 or more people perform this job, if the
machine falls it could cause serious injury or death.

7. Make all plumbing and electrical connections to the ice machine and ice storage bin in
GB Models
GT Models
accordance with local regulations.
8. Remove the strap securing the bin level probe and install through the bottom of the ice
machine. Ice machines on top of other ice machines or ice crushers should have the bin
probe stuck through the bottom of the machine directly above the bin. The hole for the bin
probe will be in the same location on all variations of these machines, just to the right of the
ice-making compartment or the ice chute in GT56x applications.
9. Install the ice deflectors.

INITIAL START PROCEDURE
1. Be sure that the on-off switch is in the “off” position and the ice-clean switch is in the “clean”
position.
2. Turn on the power and water supply and check all supply lines for leaks.
3. Make sure all pump and water tank hoses are connected, then pour 1/2 quart (1/2 liter) of
clean potable water into the circulation system to lubricate and prime the pump(s).
Note: this can be done by either pouring the water directly onto the evaporator, the evaporator
is equipped with drain holes for this purpose and to allow melted frost to drain into the water
tank. In tight spaces a funnel and hose can be used to pour water onto the evaporator.
Alternatively the water can slowly be poured into the clear control stream box on the front of
the water plate or between the evaporator and the top left wall of the water plate.
4. Move the on-off switch to the “on” position and observe the water flowing from the distributor
tube filling the water tank. Also, observe that the water pump is circulating water through the
system. A momentary sucking, cavitation sound is normal at the beginning of the process
when the water level is low. The water fill is complete when the water level in the probe tube
reaches the high-level probe. Observe that the water valve is de-energized by ensuring water
has stopped flowing through the distributor tube. Check that there are no water leaks from the
hoses or water tank into the drain pan.
Note: For GB106x models, observe that the water fill difference between the upper and lower
water tanks measured from the top of the control stream box is less than ⅛ inch (3 mm) for “C”
models and ¼ inch (6 mm) for “HK” models.
5. Pull down on the right side of the water plate, stretching the springs until the water plate switch
is disengaged, observe that the pump stops and the actuator motor rotates the cam arms
counter-clockwise. Observe that the cam arms continue to turn, opening the water plate fully,
dumping the water in the tank. After a moment, the cam arm rotation will reverse and close the
water plate. The cam arm rotation will stop when the water plate is fully closed and the water
fill process will repeat.
6. Move the ice-clean switch to the “ice” position, the water plate will cycle down and up one
more time dumping the water. When this completes the machine will begin to make ice,
observe that the compressor and the condenser fan motor, if so equipped, begin to run. If
possible with liquid cooled models ensure there is water flow during the ice making cycle.
7. Test the bin level control operation by holding ice against it. Adjust the controller, if required, to
shut off the ice machine within 30 seconds of contact between the ice and probe.
8. Make sure that the drain pan, ice deflectors and stacking chute (GB106x models and stacked
ice machines only) are properly installed. Replace and secure all the cabinet panels. The front
panel gets secured to the machine with the provided stainless steel sheet metal screws.
9. Discard all the ice from the start-up cycles, then clean and sanitize the ice storage bin
according to the instructions provided with the bin.
10. Complete and mail the registration certificate to the factory. Leave all instructions with the
owner/user.
Page 15
ICE MACHINE CLEANING PROCEDURE
It is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure at a minimum twice per year.
Note: Use a clean plastic bottle fitted with a stopper or cap that has a pouring tube and a
vent to facilitate mixing and pouring of the specified solutions.
1. Mix 3 oz. (500023) KD Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner per gallon of warm water.
2. If the ice machine is operating, wait until the ice falls out of the evaporator, then move the
Ice-Clean Switch to the “Clean” position.
3. Empty the storage bin and turn off any other ice machines on the same bin.
4. After the water fill is complete, turn off the ice machine. While pinching the water level
control tube, remove it from the probe cap. Hold the water level control tube high enough
so that the water does not overflow, release the control tube and pour about half the
cleaning solution into the top of the probe tube. Pinch the control tube again and
reassemble the probe tube to the cap. Pour the remaining cleaning solution into the
control stream box.
5. Turn on the ice machine and allow the solution to circulate for 15 minutes then pull down
on the right side of the water plate. This will cause it to open and dump the cleaning
solution and then refill with water. Repeat the dump process three times to be sure all the
cleaning solution is rinsed out of the machine.
(household bleach or equivalent) and 1 quart (3.8 Liter) clean water.
7. Using the same process as in step #4, pour half of the sanitizing solution into water level
probe tube and the other half into the control stream box.
8. Allow the solution to circulate for 15 minutes. Pull down on the right side of the water plate,
to cause it to open and dump the sanitizing solution and then refill with water. Repeat this
process two times to be sure all the cleaning solution is rinsed out of the machine. If
necessary, adjust the water level probes to the proper levels.
9. While the cleaning and sanitizing solutions are circulating, clean and rinse all accessible
parts and surfaces of the ice machine with clean towels and . Mix a cleaning solution
containing 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) (96g) baking soda and 1 Gal. (3.8 Liter) of warm water
and a sanitizing solution containing 1 teaspoon (5 ML) 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite and
two quarts (1.9 Liter) of clean water.
10. After cleaning has been completed, move the Ice-Clean Switch to the “Ice” position. Check
the operation of the machine, particularly the water level and subsequent ice cube
formation. Adjust the water level probes if needed.

COMPONENTS
Mechanical Components
Refrigerant Compressor: Provided to pump refrigerant through the refrigeration system. See
the serial number plate for refrigerant specification and electrical characteristics.
Condenser: All air-cooled and liquid-cooled models are provided with a self-contained refrigerant
condenser to remove heat from the refrigeration system. These condensers are designated in
the model number as (“A”) air-cooled and (“L”) liquid-cooled. Remote air-cooled condensers are
also available for some models. These are designated as (“R”) in the model number. (See the
remote air-cooled section of the manual for information on these models.)
Condenser Fan and Motor: Provided with all air-cooled (“A”) models to draw air through the
condenser.
Liquid Regulator Valve: Provided with all liquid-cooled (“L”) models to regulate the flow of
coolant through the condenser and maintain a specified refrigerant discharge pressure.
Heat Exchanger: Provided to sub-cool the refrigerant, ensuring that the refrigerant is liquid at the
inlet of the expansion valve.
Filter Drier: Provided as insurance that all moisture and impurities are removed from the
refrigeration system.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve: Maintains the proper flow of refrigerant, through the system, as
the load changes during the ice making cycle.
Evaporator: A plated copper evaporator is found in all models. The evaporator provides the five
freezing surfaces for ice cube formation.
Defrost Valve: Directs compressor discharge gas to the evaporator, warming it to release the ice
cubes during the harvest cycle.
Water Tank: Provided as a sump to hold the water required to make one batch of ice cubes.
Water Solenoid Valve: Opens to allow potable water to enter the ice machine and closes when
the water tank is filled to the correct level.
Note: There is a strainer in the water valve inlet, which protects the water valve from
particles in the water supply. If the need for cleaning this strainer is frequent, an external
water filter should be provided.
Water Plate: Functions as a water manifold with a flat surface and to regulate the web thickness
between the cubes. This surface is positioned close to the evaporator and acts to form the sixth
side of the ice cubes. The water plate surface has one spray hole for each cell in the evaporator,
to provide water to the freezing surfaces. The water plate surface also has two drain holes
under each cell, to allow unfrozen water to return to the water tank to be re-circulated. The water
plate swings down during the harvest cycle to allow the ice cubes to fall out of the evaporator.
Note: If at any time during the Fill, Freeze, or Circulate cycle the water plate is manually
opened the controller will switch to the step 3 of the ice making sequence on page 28.
Page 20
16
Water Pump: Continuously circulates the water from the water tank, through the water plate
during the ice making cycle. The water pump also operates during the wash cycle to circulate
cleaning and sanitizing solution.
Actuator Motor: Rotates the cam arms counter-clockwise, at the beginning of the ice harvest
cycle, to lower the water plate, so the ice can fall out of the evaporator. It then rotates clockwise,
at the end of the harvest cycle, to close the water plate for the next ice making cycle.
Actuator Motor Capacitor: Installed between the two actuator motor windings, the function of
this capacitor is to determine the direction of the rotation of the actuator motor.
Cam Arms: These are attached to the actuator motor output shaft and function initially to
separate the water plate from the evaporator and then to support the water plate as it opens fully.
Water Plate Springs: Function as the connection between the cam arms and the water plate.
They also act as a safety mechanism, stretching if any ice remains on the water plate surface as
it is closing against the evaporator.
Drain Pan: Provided to catch the dreg water at the end of the ice making / cleaning and
sanitizing cycles and directs it to the drain.
Ice Deflectors-Front and Rear: Provided to direct the falling ice to the storage bin.
Controller: Controls the ice machine utilizing multiple sensors, provides power directly to many
of the ice machine components. Through solid-state relays, outputs and indirectly to the
compressor and condenser fan motor, if so equipped, by operation of the Contactor. The
controller also provides status indication of the ice machine and components as well as
diagnostics for service personnel.
On-Off Switch: The “On” position provides power to the controller to operate the ice machine.
The “Off” position interrupts power to the controller to shut down the ice machine.
Caution: Switching the machine “off” does not de-energize circuits, disconnect power before
servicing.
Ice-Clean Switch: The “Ice” position signals the controller to provide full operation of the ice
machine. The “Clean” position signals the controller to exclude operation of the contactor and
thereby the compressor and condenser fan motor if so equipped
This position is useful for cleaning the ice machine and for test procedures where operation of the
compressor is not required or desired.
Ice Level Probe: Senses when the ice bin is full- Contact between this probe and the ice in the
storage bin will signal the controller to shut off the ice machine. When ice is removed from the
probe, the ice machine will restart.
Adjustment: While holding ice against the probe tube, turn the adjustment knob on the controller
to shut off the ice machine within one minute. A warmer (CCW Bottom blue knob) adjustment will
shut off the ice machine sooner. A colder (CW) adjustment will delay shut off.
Page 21
Evaporator Temperature Probe: Senses the temperature of the evaporator. During the defrost
cycle, the evaporator must warm sufficiently to release the ice. This probe signals the controller to
terminate the defrost cycle, after the ice has fallen out of the evaporator, and start the next ice
making cycle.
Note: A secondary function of this probe is to signal the controller to shut off the ice
machine if the evaporator should overheat.
Adjustment: Turn the adjustment knob on the controller warmer (CCW Top blue Knob), only if the
defrost time is insufficient to drop all the ice from the evaporator, before the water plate begins to
close. The defrost time should be increased no more than is required to ensure all the ice has
fallen from the evaporator.
Control Stream: This is a small clear box, divided into two sections and located on the front face
of the water plate. It is a “safety valve” that ensures evacuation of the water reservoir so that
harvest cycles will begin without undue delay. Water flowing into the left section of the box is
returned to the water tank and re-circulated through the system. Water flowing into the right
section of the box is drained out of the system. The velocity of the stream flowing in the box,
during the ice making cycle, is an indicator of the water pressure inside the water plate. This
pressure will increase as the ice cubes fill out in the evaporator, covering the drain holes provided
for each cell. This pressure increase will cause the stream, normally flowing into the left section of
the box, to flow over the partition and into the right section, draining the system of excess water.
Adjustment: Turn the Philips head screw located behind the expansion valve such that the stream
of water falls to the left of the control stream box partition, during the early portion of the ice
making cycle, before the cubes are full.
Water Level Probe Assembly: This assembly consists of three stainless steel probes or a float
type which are positioned in a clear water level tube. The water level tube is mounted in front of
the water tank and is connected to it by a hose. The water level in the tank is visible in the tube.
The water level probes or float are positioned in the water level tube. The longest is a reference
probe and the tip of this probe is at the bottom of the tube. The next longest probe is the “LOW
PROBE.” When the water level is low enough to separate from the tip of this probe, the controller
is signaled to start the harvest cycle. The shortest probe is the “HIGH PROBE.” When the water
level touches the tip of this probe during the water fill, the controller will de-energize the water inlet
valve. The water level probe float type has a HIGH float and LOW float. As of 1/1/17 we will be
adding a dual float, left side float is for harvest, right side is for water level. Adjustments stay the
same.
Adjustment: The reference probe should be adjusted all the way down. The “Low Probe” should
be adjusted so the tip is approximately .60” (15 mm) from the bottom of the probe tube. The “High
Probe” determines how much water is taken into the system at the beginning of a cycle. It is
adjusted as required by the size of the cube (“C” or “HK”) and the desired fullness (dimple size) of
each cube. Typically all cubes should have a small dimple at the end of the freeze cycle. Lack of
a dimple in the cubes is an indicator that the water tank level is too high at the start of the cycle.
The water level probe float type has a HIGH float determines how much water is taken into the
system at the beginning of a cycle and LOW float when it is low enough to tip the controller is
signaled to start the harvest cycle.
Note: Making cubes without a 1/8 dimple will reduce ice machine capacity and may
damage the water plate surface in extreme cases. If the control stream is draining water
for more than 15 seconds, at the end of the ice making cycle, the water level in the tank is

too high. Lower the high probe or raise the low probe slightly, until proper operation is
evident.
WATER LEVEL ASSEMBLY (FLOAT TYPE) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DOCUMENT #307 1054 01
Refer all maintenance to qualified personnel. Disconnect power before servicing equipment.
REMOVE OLD WATER LEVEL PROBES, WIRE HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS
Remove the old water level probe assembly, wire harnesses and connectors from the control box all the way to the
water level tube on the water plate. Start in the top right corner of the control box. On the PC board, there is a small
black connector with black, white and red wires. Un-clip it and remove it thru the hole in the top/back of the control
box. Remove all connected wire harnesses & connectors all the way to the water level tube on the water tank. Note
which way the wiring is routed, for installation of the new water level probe assembly. You may cut out the wiring &
connectors from the old water level probe assembly as needed. All new wire harnesses and connectors will be
supplied with the new water level probe assembly.
CONNECT NEW WATER LEVEL PROBE, WIRE HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS
1. In the replacement kit, find the harness with the small black connector on one end. Feed the black connector thru
the hole in the control box and plug it into the PC board. The terminals on the other end of the harness will be
connected in step 3 below.
2. Place the new probe with the correct float setup (see FLOAT SETUP below) into the water tube and hang it back
onto the top edge of the water tank. Run the other end of the probe wire harness thru the machine to near the back of
the control box.
3. Connect the terminals on the ends of the black, white & red wires to the terminals on the ends of the black, white &
red wires on the harness you installed into the control box in step 1 above, being sure wire colors correspond for each
connection.
FLOAT SETUP
In order for the probe switches to correctly work for K CUBE machines the top float must be flipped over so the
magnetic strip is on top. The round blue disk above the top float must also be moved down to the empty grove below
it. Both the K and C/HK setups are shown in the picture below. The black dots indicate where the magnetic strip is. If
you are unsure where the magnetic strip is located, hold the float up to a light source and the magnetic ring will be
more easily identified.
FLOAT ADJUSTMENTS
In order for the machines to make a solid cube some adjustments may be needed. If the ice being harvested is too light or does not
have the right dimple size to make it solid, the entire probe will need to be raised slightly. This can be done by grabbing the probe
at the top and pulling slightly. If the ice is too solid and there is no dimple in the ice cube then the probe needs to be lowered.
Grabbing the probe at the top and pushing it in will lower it. Raise or lower the probe for right ICE CUBE QUALITY Proper
adjustment of the control stream and water level probes will produce ice cubes containing a 1/8" to 3/16" dimple.
Page 23
Plate Up Switch: This switch is actuated by the water plate and informs the controller about the
position of the plate—fully up or not fully up. If this switch/magnetic is not actuated when the
water plate closes, because ice is remaining on the water plate surface, the actuator motor will
reverse and reopen the water plate. This will continue until the surface is clear.
Adjustment: The switch/magnetic should be actuated when the front cam arm is between the 10
o’clock and 11 o’clock positions. The switch/magnetic is closed when the “plate up” LED is lit.
Adjust the actuation point by adjusting the height of the white actuation screw on the water plate.
Note: Do not bend the switch lever to make this adjustment.
Arms Up Switch: This switch acts to limit the clockwise rotation of the actuator motor. It informs
the controller when the cam arms are in the “12 o’clock” position (water plate up), so the actuator
motor can be de-energized.
Adjustment: The switch operator, which is attached to the output shaft of the actuator motor, can
be rotated on the shaft and fixed in place with a set screw. When adjusted properly, the cam arm
will stop in the “12 o’clock” position. The motor stops when the flat spot on the switch operator
allows the switch lever to drop down.
Note: The front water plate spring must be on the left side of the cam hub when the water
plate is fully closed (cam arm in the 12 o’clock position).
Arms down Switch: This switch acts to limit the counter-clockwise rotation of the actuator motor.
It informs the controller when the cam arms are in the “7 o’clock” position (water plate down), so
the actuator motor can be de-energized.
Adjustment: The switch operator, which is attached to the output shaft of the actuator motor, can
be rotated on the shaft and fixed in place with a set screw. When adjusted properly, the cam arm
will stop in the “7 o’clock” position. The motor stops when the flat spot on the switch operator
allows the switch lever to drop down. Do not allow under-travel or over-travel so that the water
plate is not in the most fully-open position (critical with HK models)
Contactor: Provided with all models to carry the compressor load. On self-contained and remote
air-cooled models, the condenser fan motor is also connected to the contactor. The contactor coil
is rated for line voltage and the contacts are rated for definite purpose applications (FLA and LRA).
High Pressure Cutoff: A manual reset pressure switch is provided, which will open the circuit to
the contactor coil if the discharge pressure should reach 435 psig (2.38 MPA gauge).As of 04/16
new AUTOMATIC no need to reset it.

Description of Each Process
The following sequence begins with the cuber as shipped from the factory with the water plate(s)
closed and ready to begin a normal ice making cycle.
Fill: The water solenoid valve will be energized only until the water level reaches the high water
level probe, and the water pump will run when the water plate is closed.
REV 1.70, 1.8
ICE MODE and CLEAN MODE: WATER WILL NOW HIT HIGH PROBE, THEN TURN ON
WATER PUMP( WATER VALVE OFF ) AND THEN REFILL TO HIGH PROBE.
CHANGED HIGH AND LOW WATER DEBONUNCE
-0.5 –SECOND DELAY NOW APPLIES WHEN RETURNING TO THE FILL STATE
-ENTIRE FILL ROUTINE WILL NOT BE REPEATED IF RETURNING TO THE FILL STATE
FROM THE HI WATER DEBOUNCE STATE,ONLY REFILLING TO THE HI WATER PROBE
-0.5-SECOND DELAY NOW APPLIES WHEN RETURNING TO THE FREEZE ( ICE MODE )
OR CIRULATE ( CLEAN MODE STATE
Freeze: Once the water fill cycle has been completed, the water solenoid valve will remain de-
energized until the following harvest cycle. The water level in the liquid level probe tube lowers as
the water is frozen, but no additional water will be introduced during the freeze cycle. The control
stream runs continuously during the freeze cycle with the water returning to the water tank
through the hole which can be seen through the control stream box to the left of the dam in the
box. The control stream is a "safety valve" to insure the ability to initiate harvest rather than an ice
quality control, and it should never need to go over the dam for more than 15 seconds before
harvest begins.
Page 35
30
Note: No water, other than condensation, should drip or run to the drain pan from the
control stream or from the water tank during the freeze cycle. The water level in the liquid
level probe tube must get below the level of the low water level probe initiate the harvest
cycle. If there is an excess of water in the water tank, the water pump outlet pressure
increases when the evaporator cells are full, and the control stream rises and flows over
the dam to the drain pan to evacuate the liquid level control tube.
Lower: When the water level in the liquid level probe tube is below the low water level probe the
controller senses the absence of continuity between the probes. Power is applied to the defrost
valve coil allowing hot gas to circulate through the evaporator. The evaporator begins to defrost,
and the water plate begins to open immediately. When the cam arm down switch is activated the
water plate will stop.
Harvest: As long as the evaporator remains cold, the water plate(s) remain in the open position
with the water solenoid valve de-energized. The defrost valve remains energized, and the
evaporator(s) become warm enough to release the ice which drops by gravity into the ice storage
area.
Raise: After the ice is out and the evaporator(s) warm to the reset temperature required by the
controller the actuator motor(s) will be energized to close the water plate(s) The water solenoid
valve will be energized to begin the water fill for the next ice-making cycle, the defrost valve will
be de-energized, and the evaporator will begin to cool.
Ice Bin Full: When the level of ice reaches the bin probe, the ice maker stops automatically, and
it remains off until the bin probe warms up when the ice level is lowered.
Note: in remote condenser models (r), the compressor continues to run after bin control
shutdown until the low-side is pumped down to the setting of the pump down controller.
This pressure should be between 5 and 10 psig and must never be vacuum.
Cleaning Mode: All of the cuber operational components except refrigeration are able to
function with the make ice/clean switch in the clean position. Simply placing this switch in the
cleaning position does not complete the cleaning and sanitizing of the cuber. Instructions
pertaining to the cleaning of a machine can be found on page 11 of this manual.
Note: The frequency of the need for cleaning is determined by the supply water
characteristics. The cuber should be cleaned no less frequently than once each 6 months,
and it may require more frequent cleaning. The requirement for sanitizing frequency may
be contained in local health code regulations.
Water Plate Closure Problems: If the plate up switch is not properly actuated, due to misadjustment, weak springs, or an obstruction to the water plate travel, such as ice which did not
slide off of the plate, the actuator motor will immediately reverse and re-open the water plate.
Shutdown-High Pressure: All models are provided with a high pressure cutoff which interrupts
power only to the compressor, and to the condenser fan motor if so equipped, when the high-side
pressure rises to the cutoff setting. The high pressure cutoff requires manual resetting to restore
power in all models. When this happens in air and remote cooled models be sure there is
sufficient airflow, a clean condenser, and a properly functioning fan motor. In liquid cooled
models make sure the liquid regulator valve is adjusted properly and that there is sufficient flow of
coolant.

START METHODS
Ice Making Mode Start Up
At power up in the ice making mode the electronic control will monitor the following
criteria:
If the evaporator temperature is colder than the Harvest Termination temperature at start up the
controller will switch to the Lower state.
If there is an obstruction preventing the water plate from closing the Plate Up switch at startup,
the controller will switch to the Lower state.
If the water plate is not in the up position at start up and the evaporator temperature is warmer
than the Harvest Termination temperature, the controller will switch to the Raise state.
Cleaning Mode Start Up
At power up in the wash mode the electronic control will monitor the following criteria:
If there is an obstruction preventing the water plate from closing the Plate Up switch at startup,
the controller will switch to the “Lower” state.
If the water plate is not in the up position at start up, the controller will switch to the “Raise” state.

COMPRESSOR TEST PROCEDURE
Warning:
• Refer all service work to qualified technicians.
• Knowledge of proper installation and service procedures is essential to the safe maintenance
of KOLD-DRAFT equipment.
• Do not operate equipment that has been damaged.
• Always disconnect the power supply before servicing the equipment. Some circuits remain
energized when the ice machine is switched off.
• Never operate the ice maker with any covers, panels or other parts removed or not properly
secured.
• Never modify the circuitry of KOLD-DRAFT equipment from the original specifications.
• Use only genuine KOLD-DRAFT replacement parts.
• Use of non-approved parts when servicing KOLD-DRAFT equipment may create a safety
hazard or cause equipment and property damage.
• Use of non-approved parts, when servicing KOLD-DRAFT equipment, will void the equipment
warranty.
• Disconnect all electrical power before removing the protective terminal cover.
• Never energize the system unless the protective terminal cover is securely fastened.
• Never energize the system unless the compressor is properly connected to ground.
• Never reset a circuit breaker or replace a fuse without checking for a short circuit to ground.
An open fuse or tripped circuit breaker is an indication of a ground fault. Energizing a
compressor with a ground fault may cause terminal pin ejection, which will allow oil and
refrigerant to spray out of the system. This oil spray, combined with an electrical spark, can
ignite causing harm to personnel and property.
• Discharge all capacitors with a 20,000 ohm resister before working with them or removing
them from the ice machine. This must be done to avoid damage to measuring devices and the
risk of electrical shock.
Caution: Failure to comply with all KOLD-DRAFT service guidelines may cause personal
injury, equipment or property damage and voiding of the product warranty.
Note:
• When servicing KOLD-DRAFT ice machine refrigeration systems, all work performed must
be consistent with the best refrigeration service practices. These systems must remain
clean, dry and properly charged with refrigerant, in order for the ice machine to operate as
designed.
• See the Remote Air-Cooled Condenser section of the manual for additional service
information related to these ice machines.
• All KOLD-DRAFT ice machine models utilize CSR (capacitor start/capacitor run)
compressors. Each model includes a potential start relay, a start capacitor and a run
capacitor, in the compressor circuitry, to start and operate these compressors properly and
with maximum efficiency. All compressors also include thermal protectors—external on
GT36x, GT56x, and GB56x models and internal on GB106x models. This procedure will
help diagnose problems with these compressors and all related components.
Page 41
36
Test Procedure for a Short Circuit to Ground (Ground Fault)
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the system, making sure all power legs are open.
2. Remove the protective terminal cover. Inspect for evidence of overheating at any connection.
Overheating is an indication that a compressor motor problem exists. Disconnect all leads
from the terminal pins.
3. Check the compressor for a ground fault using an ohm meter or a high potential ground
tester. Connect one lead to the copper suction line and connect the other lead to one of the
terminal pins. Repeat this procedure for the two remaining terminal pins. If the instrument
indicates any resistance less than 2 mega ohms between any pin and the suction line
(compressor housing), a ground fault exists.
4. If a ground fault exists, replace the compressor. Do not reconnect the compressor or re-use
any leads or terminal connectors that exhibit signs of overheating.
Test Procedure for Continuity and Proper Resistance
1. If no ground fault has been found, determine if there is an open or short circuited motor
winding or if the thermal protector is open.
2. Allow time for the thermal protector to reset. This may take as long as an hour for internal
type thermal protectors.
3. For single phase compressors, test the continuity of the start winding by measuring between
terminal pins C and S. Test the continuity of the main winding by measuring between terminal
pins C and R. If there is no continuity in either winding, replace the compressor.
4. For three phase compressors, test the continuity of the windings by measuring between each
pair of terminal pins: 1-2, 2-3 and 1-3. If there is no continuity between any set of terminal
pins, replace the compressor.
5. If continuity is found in all motor windings, measure the resistance (ohms) of the windings.
6. For single phase compressors, measure between each pair of terminal pins: C-S, C-R and
S-R. The sum of the resistance measured between C-S and C-R should equal the resistance
measured between S-R, plus or minus a small deviation. Proper resistance may be confirmed
by comparing the measured resistance to the resistance specifications for specific compressor
models. If the resistance is not correct, replace the compressor. If the specifications are not
found on the ice machine, please contact the factory.
7. For three phase compressors, measure between each pair of terminal pins: 1-2, 2-3 and 1-3.
The resistance measured between each pair of pins should always be greater than zero and
within 10% of one another. Proper resistance may be confirmed by comparing the measured
resistance to the resistance specifications for specific compressor models. If the resistance is
not correct, replace the compressor. If the specifications are not found on the ice machine,
please contact the factory.
Page 42
Test Procedure for Compressor Electrical Components
1. Testing The Potential Relay:
2. Before testing the relay, be sure it is the one specified for use with the ice machine
compressor and the mounting position of the relay is correct.
3. Measure for continuity between terminals 5 and 2—if there is no continuity, replace the relay.
4. Measure for continuity between terminals 2 and 1—if there is no continuity, the contacts are
open and the relay must be replaced.
5. The relay may also malfunction if the supply voltage is 10% higher or lower than the rated
voltage or if the relay is loosely mounted, allowing it to vibrate or if it is used in conjunction
with an incorrect start capacitor.
Testing the Run Capacitor:
1. Before testing the run capacitor, be sure it is the one specified for use with the ice machine
compressor.
2. After making sure the capacitor is discharged, disconnect it and test the value with a
capacitance meter. If the measured value is more than 10% higher or lower than the rated
value, replace the run capacitor.
3. The capacitor may also malfunction if the supply voltage is more than 10% higher than the
rated voltage.
Testing the Start Capacitor:
1. Before testing the start capacitor, be sure it is the one specified for use with the ice machine
compressor.
2. After making sure the capacitor is discharged, disconnect it and test the value with a
capacitance meter. If the measured value less than the rated value or more than 20% higher
than the rated value, replace the start capacitor.
3. As an alternative, test the run capacitor by determining if there is continuity across the
terminals. Use a meter set to the R x 1 scale. If there is continuity the capacitor is shorted
and must be replaced.
4. Another alternative is to set the meter to the R x 100,000 scale. If there is no needle
deflection on an analog meter when placing the probes across the capacitor terminals or if
infinite resistance is indicated on a digital meter, the capacitor is open and needs to be
replaced.
5. The capacitor may also malfunction if the relay contacts are not working properly, or if the
capacitor is subjected to prolonged operation of the start cycle, because the start relay is
incorrect, the starting load is too high, or the supply voltage is more than 10% lower than the
rated voltage.
Page 43
38
Additional Service Information
• Testing the External Thermal Protector:
• After allowing sufficient time for the thermal protector to reset, disconnect it and test for
continuity across the terminals. If there is no continuity, replace the thermal protector.
• Disconnect and test the compressor wiring by confirming that there is continuity between relay
terminal 5 and compressor terminal C and also between terminals 2 and S as well as 4 and R.
• Replace the potential relay if all other tests do not reveal the problem. A new relay will
eliminate any electrical problems that cannot be determined with the previous testing. If a
new relay does not correct the operation, the compressor may have a mechanical problem.
Note: Excessive short cycling may be caused by a faulty thermal protector, but it also may be
caused by other malfunctioning system components such as the bin thermostat, Ice-Off-Wash
switch, and contactor or high pressure cut-out.

WATER PLATE ALIGNMENT
If the water plate is not aligned with the evaporator, the cubes may appear cloudy or misshapen.
Dimension “A” is not adjustable. If this dimension is out of tolerance, the evaporator or water plate
mounting components may be damaged.
Adjustments to dimension “B” can be made by sliding the front and rear hinges along the left edge
of the water plate. Lightly tap the hinges as required to align the water plate with the evaporator.
Alignment is correct when the space between the evaporator and the water plate is equal in front
and in back.
“A” = 1.5” ± 3/32” (38 mm ± 2.5 mm) “B” = 5/16” ± 1/16”(8 mm ± 1.5 mm)
WEB THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
The web thickness between cubes (the gap between the bottom of the evaporator and the water
plate surface) can be adjusted by inserting or removing shims between the support channels and
the evaporator support posts or the cam shaft bearing brackets. Loosen the actuator motor
mounting screws before inserting or removing shims between the channels and cam shaft bearing
brackets. The web thickness specification for both C and HK models is 1/16” (2mm)
Page 46
WATER PLATE UP/DOWN POSITION AND ADJUSTMENT
When the water plate is up (closed), the spring end of the cam arm must be in the 12 o’clock
position, with the spring on the left side of the cam arm hub. The arms up switch lever (front) will
be down and the arms down switch lever (back) will be up. When the water plate opens, the cam
arm turns counter clockwise until the arms down switch operator allows the arms down switch
lever to drop. When the water plate is fully down (open), the cam arm should be in the seven
o’clock position; the spring should be aligned with the cam arm. When closing again, the cam arm
will turn clockwise, until the arms up switch operator allows the arms up switch lever to drop.
The positions of the cam arms, when the water plate is open and closed, may be adjusted by
loosening the set screws and rotating the switch operators as required. Baseline positions of the
switch operators for the front and back are 11 and 4 o’clock when the water plate is up. When the
water plate is down, positions for the front and back switch operators are 6 o’clock and 11 o’clock
Note: The front operator is for adjusting the arms up switch and the back operator is for adjusting
the arms down switch.
Up Position
• If the cam arm in the up position is too far clockwise from 12 o’clock rotate the front switch
operator clockwise to stop the arm’s rotation earlier
• If the cam arm in the up position is too far counterclockwise from 12 o’clock rotate the front
switch operator counterclockwise to stop the arm’s rotation later Down Position
• If the cam arm in the down position is too far clockwise from 7 o’clock rotate the back switch
operator clockwise to stop the arm’s rotation later
• If the cam arm in the down position is too far counterclockwise from 7 o’clock rotate the back
operator counterclockwise to stop the arm’s rotation earlier
Note: Component relationships and/or operation, other than described, indicate component failure,
maladjustment or improper reassembly when servicing the ice machine.

ACTUATOR MOTOR ELECTRICAL TESTS
The following tests are for troubleshooting the actuator motor and related circuits:
Use an AC voltmeter set for the proper range. Voltages in the tables are measure across the
motor reversing capacitor (between the colored motor lead wires.
If there is no ice in the evaporator(s) and the water plate(s) is (are) not fully closed (with the water
plate switch(es) pushed up and the “ARMS UP” LED on), the actuator motor(s) and pump(s)
should be running. If not, be sure there is power to the motor(s) and also that the motor(s) is(are)
not overheated and off due high temperature. Allow the motor to cool down before starting the
test procedure.
Always refer to the proper wiring diagram when troubleshooting.
Motor winding resistances at 75˚ F (24˚ C) out of the circuit are as follows:
REX 115 volt motors, white to black or yellow, approximately 95 ohms
REX 230 volt motors, white to red or yellow, approximately 400 ohms

PROBE TEST PROCEDURE
Water Level Probes:
Water level probes can be tested at any temperature and are good if they exhibit continuity
(0 ohms resistance) along the length, between the probe wire and the connector at the controller.
It is advisable to flex the probe at the two connections, while testing for continuity, to eliminate the
possibility of an intermittent failure.
Evaporator Temperature and Ice Level Probes:
The evaporator temperature probe and the ice level probe are designed to have a nominal
resistance of 5650 ohms at 32° F (0°C). To test these probes they must be placed in ice water
32°F (0°C) for a minute and then checked for resistance while the tube is still in the ice water. A
probe is considered good if it exhibits a resistance value between 5400 and 5900 ohms at 32° F
(0°C). Probes with values outside this range should be replaced.

FOR GB1064 MACHINES BUILT BEFORE 607945
WATER FILL ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Note: This applies only for GB1064 machines with serial numbers before 607945.
Machines built after 607945 have an upgraded water valve which equalizes the amount of
water in each tank per load.
Since supply pressures vary between the factory and install locations, water fill levels between the
top and bottom water tanks will also vary. The water fill difference between the upper and lower
water tanks should be less than 1/8 in (3 mm). A dynamic water pressure of 30 psig (0.2 MPA)
minimum is required to ensure consistent water fill performance. Before adjusting the water fill
levels be sure that the Water Level Probes are properly adjusted and no hoses are kinked. Refer
to the Service Manual for the adjustment specifications according to cube size.
To Adjust For Equal Fill:
1. Place the selector in the “CLEAN” mode, switch the Power Switch to “ON”.
2. Pull down on the right side of either water plate, stretching the springs until the actuator motors
rotate the cam arms counter-clockwise. Observe that the cam arms continue to turn, opening
the water plates fully, dumping the water in the tanks. It may be necessary to turn the power off
with the water plates fully open in order to completely drain the water tanks. At this point, the
cam arm rotation will reverse and close the water plates. The cam arm rotation will stop when
the water plates are fully closed and the water fill will occur. When the fill water reaches the
“high-level probe” the water fill valve is de-energized and the water fill stops. A small amount of
water will drain back from the water fill tubing to the lower water tank.
3. Compare the water levels in the probe tube and the upper section control stream overflow as
seen on the next page to determine if the upper and lower water tanks are filling within the
specified maximum difference
4. If the top tank level is lower than the bottom tank level by more than ⅛ inch (3 mm) for “C”
models and ¼ inch (6 mm) for “HK” models, squeeze the restrictor clamp to reduce the bottom
tank fill rate. If the top tank level is more than ⅛ inch (3 mm) for “C” models and ¼ inch (6 mm)
for “HK” models 1/8” higher than the lower tank level, open the restrictor clamp to increase the
lower tank fill rate. Small adjustments are recommended. When the adjustment appears to be
correct, dump the water by pulling down on a water plate, as above, allow the water tanks to fill
again and re-check the levels.

procedure for additional information.
Actuator motor overheated. Open
thermal overload.
Let motor cool and determine why
motor is running continuously.
Defrost does not
initiate when water
level drops below
low water level
probe.
Water level probe does not sense
that the water level is low.
Be sure there is no continuity path
between the probes through water
or mineral deposits on the probe
cap. Make sure the cap is clean
and dry especially after cleaning the
ice machine.
Water level probes are OK but no
voltage measured at the controller
output terminals to the actuator
motor, water valve or defrost valve.
Test controller and replace if
defective.
Defrost cycle ends
and water plate
closes before all ice
is out of the
evaporator.
Evaporator temperature adjustment is
set too cold and terminates defrost
too early.
Adjust evaporator temperature
adjustment counter-clockwise
(warmer) to extend defrost time.
The evaporator temperature probe
has poor contact with the evaporator
and terminates defrost too early.
Be sure the evaporator temperature
probe is fully inserted into the
evaporator probe holder.
Evaporator grids are distorted,
slowing the fall of the ice from the
evaporator.
Carefully straighten grids or replace
evaporator if the damage is severe.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Defrost valve opens
during water fill.
Slow water fill.
The water supply pressure must be
a minimum of 5 PSI (34 KPA)
dynamic at the water valve. Be
sure that the supply line is of
adequate size. This is especially
important for liquid cooled models
where the potable water and
condenser coolant water are
supplied by the same water line.
Check for restrictions in the water
supply line including clogged filters.
Check the water line strainer and
clean it if needed.
Cold potable water supply.
This is normal operation of the unit,
if the water supply is too cold. Very
cold water will not rinse the ice
residue from the water plate,
causing it to build up and affect
normal operation.
Ice remains attached
to the water plate
surface at the end of
defrost.
Ice frozen into the water plate
surface. Thick web between ice
cubes.
Adjust web thickness to
specifications.
Ice frozen into the water plate
surface. Cubes are fully formed
without small dimples.
Reduce the water level until ice
cubes are produced with small
dimples.
Over-freezing
Be sure that the control stream
does not go over the dam for longer
than 15 seconds.
Cold potable water supply.
Very cold water will not rinse the ice
residue from the water plate
thoroughly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Water valve will not
close. Potable water
level continues to
rise after contacting
the tip of the high
water level probe,
during the fill cycle.
No voltage measured at water valve
coil. Water valve remains open
because of water supply problem.
The water supply pressure must be
a minimum of 5 PSI (34 KPA)
dynamic at the water valve. Be
sure that the supply line is of
adequate size. This is especially
important for liquid cooled models
where the potable water and
condenser coolant water are
supplied by the same water line.
Check for restrictions in the water
supply line including clogged filters.
Check the water line strainer and
clean it if needed.
No voltage measured at water valve
coil. Water valve remains open
because of dirty or defective water
valve.
Disassemble and clean water valve
if needed. Make sure the bleed
holes in the valve diaphragm are
open. Replace water valve if
defective.
Line voltage measured at water valve
coil.
Test for continuity through the high
level probe and the reference
probe. Replace the probe if the
continuity is broken.
Water level probes test OK, but line
voltage measured at water valve coil.
Test controller and replace if
defective.
Water valve will not
open. Potable water
level never reaches
the high water level
reaches the high
water level probe,
during the fill cycle.
No voltage measured at water valve
coil because of an abnormal probe
continuity path.
Be sure there is no continuity path
between the probes through water
or mineral deposits on probes
through water or mineral deposits
on probes through water or mineral
deposits on the probe cap. Make
sure the cap is clean and dry
especially after cleaning the ice
machine.
Test controller and replace if
defective. No voltage measured at
water valve coil and controller output
terminal because of defective
controller.
Test controller and replace if
defective.
Water valve closes when water
contacts the tip of the low water level
probe, because the low and high
water level probes are reversed in the
water level probe terminal plug.
Relocate and reinstall the probe
wires, in the probe terminal plug or
replace the water level probe set.
Page 56
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Poorly formed or
cloudy
ice cubes.
Water plate pressure is low. Pump
operating improperly because of low
supply voltage.
Measure the supply voltage with the
ice machine running. Be sure
voltage is within the specified
tolerances.
Water plate pressure is low.
Improper pump installed in ice
machine.
Be sure the pump being used is
proper for the ice machine model.
Water plate pressure is low. Water
plate is cracked or leaking
Repair or replace water plate.
Ice cubes have large dimples or are
hollow at the end of the freeze cycle.
Increase the water level until ice
cubes are produced with small
dimples.
Water plate is out of alignment with
evaporator.
Re-align water plate. See the water
plate alignment illustration for more
information
Ice cubes do not break apart after
defrost because of thick web between
cubes.
Adjust spacing between evaporator
and water plate. See the web
thickness adjustment illustration for
more information.
Ice cubes have uneven dimples.
Dimples are larger on right side of
evaporator because of low refrigerant
charge.
Remove refrigerant and recharge
the system to specifications.
Ice cubes have uneven dimples.
Dimples are larger on right side of
evaporator because of high
evaporator superheat.
Adjust the expansion valve to
decrease the evaporator superheat.
Ice cubes have uneven dimples.
Dimples are larger on left side of
evaporator and ice may freeze into
the right side surface of the water
plate because of low evaporator
superheat.
Adjust the expansion valve to
increase the evaporator superheat.
Actuator motor turns
clockwise at start of
defrost.
Arms up and arms down switches are
defective, or the relationship between
the switches and switch operators is
improper.
Confirm proper operation of the
arms up and arms down switches
and replace if needed. Confirm
proper settings of the switch
operators and adjust as required.
Arms up and arms down switch wiring
is incorrect.
Correct switch wiring.
Cam arms are
improperly
positioned when the
water plate is fully
opened and/or
closed.
The relationship between the
switches and switch operators is
improper.
Adjust switch operators so the cam
arms are at the 12 o'clock position
when the water plate is fully closed
and at the 7 o'clock position when
the water plate is fully open. See
the cam arm, switch and switch
operator relationship illustration for
more information.

sure the power supply is the same as the ice machine’s electrical specification which is listed
on the serial number tag on the front of the top frame cross member
• Each ice crusher must be connected to the grid through its own dedicated fuse or HACR type
circuit breaker.
• Each ice crusher must be connected to a separate protected circuit with no other loads.
• Fused disconnects, installed adjacent to each ice maker, are recommended and may be
required by local codes.
• Electrical service must fall within the voltage tolerances listed below
• Breaker or fuse rating must be no greater than the maximum rating as specified on the rating
label attached to the back of the machine.
• The minimum circuit ampacity listed on the back of the machine does not indicate a typical
running current value. Use the minimum ampacity value for sizing branch circuit conductors
up to 8 meters (26 feet) in length. For a conductor length over 8 meters, increase the wire
gauge as required by code.

Assembly/Installation
1. Position the ice storage bin maintaining the minimum clearances specified in the ice maker
instructions.
2. Level the bin with adjusters on its legs, or by shimming if the bin is to be sealed to the floor. If
there are gaps between the bin and the floor greater than 1/8 inch, install a cove molding
around the bin bottom. Seal the bin (and molding) to the floor with NSF Certified RTV sealant
(Dow-Corning RTV 732 or equivalent).
3. Install gasket on top of bin if not already installed. Gasket material must be positioned so that
it extends to the outside edge of the perimeter of the ice crusher chassis when the ice crusher
is in place. To apply the gasket, peel away the white backing strip and press firmly in place.
4. Place the crusher on a flat surface. If the floor is a rough or marring surface place a large rag or
rubber mat on the floor to the left of the crusher and stand the crusher on its left side.
5. Position the bottom guard so that the right side flange is hung over the ice breaker bar.
6. Install the left side flange over the mounting studs and secure in place with the supplied 1/420 lock nuts.
Note: Use care when positioning the ice crusher on the bin so that the guard is not damaged.
Be sure to check for internal bin components such as deflectors, dividers etc., which may
interfere with the guard during installation.
7. Carefully lift the crusher and place onto the bin. Remove the front cover and note the
alignment of the mounting holes in the chassis if mounting means are provided on the bin.
Follow the bin installation instructions for securing the crusher to the bin.
Note: The plastic selector knob must be removed before the front cover can be removed on
older machines.
8. Insert the straight thermostat holder tube into the rubber grommet located directly behind the
crusher motor. Route the crushed ice thermostat capillary tube through the straight thermostat
tube holder. Ensure that the capillary tube is slightly protruding from the bottom of the tube
holder.
72
Page 78
Place the cube ice thermostat capillary tube into the bent thermostat tube holder. Ensure that
the capillary tube is slightly protruding from the bottom of the tube holder. Mount the tube
holder as shown using the supplied hardware. Tighten the clamp screws. The picture below is
a view of the right side of the crusher assembly from within the crusher frame. This portion will
be above the un-crushed cube side of the bin.
9. Install gasket on top of crusher.
10. Remove the ice maker cabinet panels, lift and position ice maker on top of crusher with
gasket and align the mounting holes. Install cap screws, lock washers and nuts.
11. Mount the ice maker safety switch as shown. If not provided, locate and drill two 3/16 inch dia.
holes in the ice maker lower front rail. Mount the safety switch support with the #8-32 screws
and lock nuts provided.
Notes:
• The crusher is designed to operate in conjunction with one or two KOLD-DRAFT® ice
makers. Two motor control relay blocks are provided and a relay coil must be installed for
each ice maker used. Each relay coil must have a voltage rating matching the voltage of
Page 79
Warning: The safety switches do not de-energize all circuits in the crusher or circuits in the ice
maker. Before cleaning or servicing this equipment disconnect all power supplies.
the ice maker, regardless of the crusher motor voltage. T271 crushers are supplied with
115V relays. T274 crushers are supplied with 208-230V relays. The relay coils are
installed through the opening in the control box. A third relay is provided for controlling one
or two ice makers with the same set of bin thermostats. This relay coil voltage rating is
matched to the crusher motor voltage and is provided with the crusher.
• A dual safety switch system is employed in the crusher design to break the circuit to the
motor. If either the front panel of the crusher or the front panel of the bottom ice maker is
removed, a switch will open the motor circuit. The crusher safety switch is mounted in the
crusher control box.
12. Install a grommet in the pre-cut hole in the floor of the ice maker’s compressor compartment
directly behind the controller box.
13. Push the safety switch wire assembly (wires with insulated 90 ° flag terminals) and the motor
control wire assembly (wires with piggyback terminals) through the grommet into the ice
maker
14. Connect the safety switch wires from the crusher to the "Common" and "Normally Open"
terminals of the ice maker safety switch (the two outer terminals). (See Wiring Diagram)
Note: There are two motor control wire assemblies of different lengths. When using a stacked
machine the shorter wire assembly gets connected to the lower ice maker and the longer wire
gets connected to the upper ice maker. If the ice maker is not a stacked unit the longer wire is
unused
15. Disconnect the white plug assembly from the ice maker hot gas valve. (If installing a GB1064 ice
maker there are two hot gas valves. Use the lower of the two to connect the crusher).
16. Connect piggyback terminals of the motor control wire assembly to the tabs of the hot gas
valve on the ice maker.
17. Reconnect the white plug assembly to the piggyback terminals of the motor control wire
assembly as shown below.
18. Locate the bin thermostat of the ice machine and cut the probe off of the end of the cable
19. Route the cable through one of the small holes in the bottom of the ice machine and into
the back of the crusher control box

Page 80
20. Pull the cable out through the front of the crusher control box and cut off the cable to a
manageable length.
21. Strip the outer cable jacket back about 3”. Then strip the red and black wires back about ¼”.
22. Connect the stripped wires to the left relay as shown.
23. Turn off the breaker or disconnect the fuse that will service the machine.
24. Make all electrical connections to the electrical service in a manner that complies with
local code
Note:
• If two separate ice making machines (for example two GB1064 models stacked) are
installed the bin thermostats of both ice makers will need to be connected to the crusher.
• Ensure that the thermostat cable is not routed through the ice chute. Do not run the cable
through the same hole that the safety switch wire assembly and the motor control wire
assembly are run through.
Initial Start-Up
1. Ensure all electrical connections were made properly and turn on the electrical service.
Note: There is no on-switch, the machine will run when the ice-maker tells it to.
2. Adjust the bin thermostat to turn off the ice maker before the ice level is above the guard
screen.
3. Adjust the thermostats to shut off the ice maker approximately 1 minute after the ice contacts
the capillary tubes.
Note:
• If ice is allowed to collect above the screen it will not clear when the ice below is removed.
This condition will cause ice to pile up in the chute of the crusher and ultimately, damage
the ice maker

• The use of the bottom guard will reduce the effective volume of the bin
ICE CRUSHER OPERATION
With the crusher knob in the crushed position, ice falling from the ice maker will be directed by
the selector plate through the crusher mechanism and deposited into the left side of the bin.
The crusher motor is powered through a relay which is energized by the hot gas valve circuit of
the ice maker. The selector knob must be in the crushed position to close a switch and complete
the circuit to the motor. Additionally, the front panel safety switches must be depressed (covers
on) for motor operation.
With the crusher knob in the "CUBE" position, ice falling from the ice maker will bypass the crusher
mechanism and be dumped into the right side of the bin. The crusher motor will not be energized.

ICE CRUSHER CLEANING PROCEDURE
DANGER:
• Disconnect or turn off all ice machine and crusher fuses or breakers before cleaning either
machine.
• Do not use ammonia solutions or strong detergents in cleaning the crusher.
• Never use appliance polishes, finish preservatives or cleaners in areas that could contact ice.
Warning:
• Always clean the ice maker first, following the ice maker cleaning instructions.
• Remove all ice from the bin before starting the cleaning procedure.
• Clean and sanitize storage bin last.
1. Remove ice maker panels, ice chute, deflectors, drain pan, crusher front panel and belt guard.
2. Wash interior with a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda per quart of clean warm water,
140°F (60°C) max. The crusher ice hopper can be accessed from the front and left side of the
ice maker. Use a long handled brush to clean inside the hopper, as crusher teeth are sharp
and can cause injury.
3. The bottom area of the crusher ice hopper can be accessed from inside the ice bin. Use a
long handled brush.
4. Wipe down internal cabinet walls with a cloth soaked in cleaning solution.
5. Rinse with clean tap water.
6. Sanitize all ice contact surfaces with a solution of 1/2 teaspoon 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite
(chlorine bleach) per quart of clean tap water (minimum 100 PPM free chlorine). A spray
bottle will facilitate this process.
7. Pour the remaining solution into the crusher chute, slowly, while rotating the cutter wheel by
hand turning the pulley.
8. After adjusting and lubricating crusher (See following section), replace all enclosure panels
and connect the electrical supply.
9. Exterior surfaces may be cleaned by standard methods suitable to the stainless steel finish.
ADJUSTMENT AND LUBRICATION
1. Oil the crusher motor (if ports are provided) and grease the shaft bearings.
(Do not over-lubricate)
2. Check the belt and pulleys for excessive wear. Adjust the belt tension to deflect 5/32 inch with
two pounds applied to the center of the span.
3. Tighten any loose set screws, machine screws, nuts and electrical connections.

PRE-CHARGED REMOTE AIR COOLED CONDENSER - INSTALLATION
Note:
• Check for freight damage before proceeding with the equipment installation. Be sure to
inspect the equipment carefully for any damage that may not have been evident on the
outside of the carton. Contact the freight carrier immediately to report any damage and file
a claim.
• To ensure optimal efficiency and productivity these installation instructions should be
followed accurately.
• All machines have been tested and adjusted for correct performance at the factory.
• This equipment must be installed in compliance with the applicable federal, state/province,
and/or local plumbing, electrical, and health/sanitation codes and requirements.
Warning:
• Do not operate equipment that has been damaged.
• Refer all maintenance to qualified personnel.
• Instruct all personnel in the proper use of the equipment.
• Clean up any liquid spills immediately.
• Always install equipment on a stable and level surface.
• Never operate this equipment with covers, panels, guards or other parts removed or not
properly secured.
• KOLD-DRAFT reserves the right to disallow any warranty claims which result from the use of
non KOLD-DRAFT condensers and/or line sets.
• Read the entire manual before installing, operating or servicing the machine.
Pre-Install Checklist
• All KOLD-DRAFT models are intended to be installed with a permanent connection to the field
electrical supply. Drop cord connections are not to be used with this equipment. Always be
sure the power supply is the same as the ice machine’s electrical specification which is listed
on the serial number tag on the front of the top frame cross member
• Each ice maker must be connected to the grid through its own dedicated fuse or HACR type
circuit breaker.
• Each ice maker must be connected to a separate protected circuit with no other loads.
• Fused disconnects, installed adjacent to each ice maker, are recommended and may be
required by local codes.
• Breaker or fuse service must be no greater than the maximum rating as specified on the
rating label attached to the back of the machine.
• The minimum circuit ampacity listed on the back of the machine does not indicate a typical
running current value. Use the minimum ampacity value for sizing branch circuit conductors
up to 8 meters (26 feet) in length. For a conductor length over 8 meters, increase the wire
gauge as required by code.
• Remote condenser ambient air temperature: 110°F (43°C) maximum
• Try to keep the compressor warmer than the condenser. In most installations, the ice maker
runs enough so that residual motor heat minimizes liquid migration to the crankcase. If the ice
maker is in a cool location, or if it will be OFF for extended periods, a crankcase heater should
be installed.
• Avoid placing the condenser in the exhaust air stream of other equipment or within a distance
equal to the width of the condenser from a wall or another piece of equipment. Stay away
from kitchen exhaust fans to prevent grease accumulation on the fins. Use a curb, which
extends above the deepest expected pond in the condenser area of the roof.
Page 86
Installation
1. Unpack the condenser and install the mounting legs.
2. Fasten the condenser to its mounting surface using methods that will satisfy the building
codes in your area. The condenser must not be lower than the receiver.
3. The line sets are packed separately, with the quantity and length marked on the carton. Make
sure that the lines are correct for your installation.
4. A single circuit condenser installation, which uses one line set, will require a 1-3/4" dia. hole to
pass the lines through a ceiling or wall. The lines for a 2 circuit condenser require a 2" dia.
hole.
5. Each line set consists of a 3/8" liquid line, and a 1/2" insulated discharge line. Connect the
3/8" line to the lower (liquid) fitting on the condenser, and to the "Refrigerant In" on the ice
maker. The 1/2" line connects to the upper (inlet) fitting on the condenser, and the
"Refrigerant Out" on the ice maker.
6. Each fitting on the line sets, condenser and ice maker is self-sealing, and should be tightened
1/4 turn more than hand tight. Always use a backup wrench to prevent tubing twist when
tightening these fittings.
7. The condenser fan motor requires power supply provisions that comply with all applicable
code requirements. The Ice Maker is provided with wire connection pigtails that include an L1
red wire for connection to the fan motor circuit along with L2 and Grounding conductors.
8. The refrigerant lines should be routed inside the building or otherwise mechanically protected
wherever possible.
Caution: For multiple-circuit installations fan power must be provided separately by a circuit
that will not be interrupted so that the fan motor will run continuously.
Remote condenser Ice Maker models from the factory are provided with adequate refrigerant
charge to accommodate all acceptable condenser ambient temperatures and up to 50 ft.
refrigerant lines. The Ice Maker Nameplate label on the rear of the cabinet indicates the factory
charge amount, maximum total charge, and refrigerant type. Ice makers are provided with resealable refrigerant line connection couplings.

Caution: Refrigerant charges must be accurately weighed.
Minimum Total Charge Required
Note:
• The factory charge in dual-evaporator models is 168 oz (10.5 lb) R-404a.
• The maximum total system charge for dual-evaporators is 208 oz (13 lb) R-404a.
• The basic charge for a dual-evaporator model is 3 lb R-404a.
To determine the total charge, add the following to the basic charge below:
Page 87
82
1. For each 10 feet of 3/8” O.D. liquid return tubing add 6 oz of R-404a.
2. For each 10 feet of ½” O.D. compressor discharge line >70o F add ½ oz R-404a.
3. For each 10 feet of ½” O.D. compressor discharge line <70o F add 11 oz R-404a (assume
that at least 15’ will be <70o F if not certain).
4. Use the following amounts of R-404a according to the condenser model and the MINIMUM
ambient temperature expected at the condenser:
RC214APV & RC314APV
+60o F
2.3 lb
+40 o F
2.9 lb
+20 o F
3.2 lb
0 o F
3.3 lb
-20 o F
3.5 lb
EXAMPLE: Calculate the minimum total system charge for a GB1060R Ice Maker with an
RC214APV (single-circuit, 2-ton) condenser and 30 feet of interconnecting tubing with -20
o
F
minimum condenser ambient temperature. The calculation would be as follows: 3 lb (basic
charge) + 16.5 oz (15’ of ½” O.D. discharge line at <70o F) + 0.75 oz (15’ of ½” O.D. discharge
line at >70o F) + 3.5 lb (flooded condenser at -20 o F) = 121.25 oz (7.6 lb). The factory charge for
GB1060R models is 10.5 lb.
Caution:
• Do not exceed the specified maximum total system charge.
• Interconnecting lines over 50’ are not recommended.
• Lines must be pitched upward toward the condenser with no “droops” or traps.
Note: The compressor will start immediately when power is applied, regardless of the “On/Off” or
the "Make Ice/Clean" switch positions, if the low-side pressure is at or above the pump-down
controller cut-in setting and the high-pressure cutout is not open. Be sure that the compressor
stops when the low-side pressure is between 5 and 15 psig.

Carton Contents
• Kold-Draft SC200 Series Ice Machine
• Warranty card attached to the front of the machine (must be fully completed and returned
to the factory within 15 days of installation to register this product and to initiate warranty
coverage.) NOTE: Failure to return this registration form will void your warranty.
• Installation & Operation Manual. Leave these with the owner/user.
Installation Requirements
Page 95
90
• The ice machine must be installed indoors and the location should be free of airborne
contaminates including any corrosive elements.
• Ambient air temperatures at the install location must be between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F
(32°C).Ambient temperatures higher than the maximum specification will result in reduced
capacities and high system pressures in air-cooled models. Temperatures lower than the
minimum may cause the machine to be unable to eject the ice from the evaporator. Ambient
temperatures less than 60°F (15°C) may cause the bin probe to malfunction.
• The machine may be built into a cabinet. Clearance is not required around the top and sides, but
must be provided in back for plumbing and electrical connections and in front for free flow of air in
and out of the condensing unit compartment.
• Do not install air cooled units in closets or small rooms where the free flow of air to the unit is
restricted.
• The location must not be near heat generating equipment.
• The location must not be near anything that can contaminate it or the ice inside.
• The ice machine should be mounted on the legs provided and leveled by screwing the leg
adjusters in or out as required. If the legs are not used, shim the bottom of the machine as
required to make it level. Seal any gaps at the floor with approved sealant or use cove molding
for larger gaps. Make sure the lower front cover remains removable for service.
• The location must be capable of supporting the weight of the ice machine, with a full bin of ice.
Plumbing
• The drain hose or pipe must not be reduced in size from the machine to the drain. The building
drain must be able to accommodate all the drain water from the ice machine operation.
Page 96
• Individual drains will not be directly connected to a common manifold, drain or standpipe. If
individual drains are to be discharged into a common manifold, drain or standpipe, a minimum
1.5” (38mm) air gap must be provided at each connection. This is to prevent any backflow of
drain water into the ice maker or ice bin.
NOTE: Installation must provide adequate backflow prevention to comply with applicable
federal, state and local codes.
• Drain lines will be installed with a minimum drop of 1/4” per ft. (2.1cm per meter) run. Ice
machine drains and bin drains may be insulated to prevent condensation.
• Water supply temperature must be between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C). Do not connect the ice
machine to a hot water supply line. Insulate the water line from sources of heat for greater
operating efficiency. Supply water temperatures higher than the recommended maximum will
cause reduced capacities.
• The water supply must be potable, not laden with sediment, and have free chlorine levels no
greater than 0.2ppm. Supplies with higher chlorine levels should be filtered. There are no
specific requirements for water treatment, but the use of water conditioning may increase the
intervals between cleaning operations and overall machine life. Please consult a local water
conditioning supplier for specific recommendations for your area.
• A minimum 20 psig (dynamic) water supply pressure is required for proper operation of the ice
maker water valve. Please note that on liquid cooled ice machines, where the same water supply
is used for both condenser cooling and the potable water supply, the demand for condenser
coolant may cause the supply pressure to drop. This is most notable at the time of peak load, at
the beginning of the freeze cycle. The maximum water supply pressure is 100 psig (0.6 MPA).If a
water pressure regulator is used the recommended setting is 30 to 50 psig (0.2 MPA to 0.3 MPA)
dynamic.
All water lines must be purged before connection to the ice machine
Electrical
WARNING: Failure to comply with these regulations may cause serious injury or death and
cause damage to the machine and its surroundings.
CAUTION: Switching the machine “off” does not de-energize all circuits. Always disconnect
power before servicing.
Page 97

• All KOLD-DRAFT models are intended to be installed with a permanent connection to the field
electrical supply. See rating plate on the back of the machine for power supply requirements.
• Each ice maker must be connected to a separate protected circuit with no other loads.
• Fused disconnects, installed adjacent to each ice maker, are recommended and may be required
by local codes. These components must be supplied by the installer.
• Electrical service must fall within the voltage tolerances listed below:
Maximum Overload Protection must be no greater than specified. The minimum circuit ampacity
specified does not indicate a typical running current value. Use the minimum ampacity value for
sizing branch circuit conductors up to 26 feet (8 meters) in length. For a conductor length over
this length, increase the wire gauge as required by code.

Initial Start Procedure
11. Be sure that the on-off switch is in the “off” position and the ice-clean switch is in the “ice” position.
12. Make sure all water lines and hoses are securely connected, turn on water supply and check for
leaks.
13. Move the on-off switch to the “on” position and observe the water plate opening. Any water in the
tank will then be drained. The compressor will turn on, the water plate will close and the sump
tank will start to fill.

14. Also, observe that the water pump is circulating water through the system. A momentary sucking,
cavitation sound is normal at the beginning of the process when the water level is low. Check that
there are no water leaks from the hoses or water tank into the bin.
15. The machine will begin to make ice.
16. When ice is available, test the bin probe adjustment by holding ice against it. Adjust the controller,
if required. Code 90 indicates ice bin full, a cold bin probe will shut down the ice machine right
after the next harvest is complete.
17. Replace and secure all the cabinet panels.
18. Discard all the ice from the start-up cycles, then clean and sanitize the ice storage bin according
to the instructions provided.
Ice Machine Re-Start
At power up, in the ice making mode, the electronic control will monitor the conditions and
operate in the following manner:
If the evaporator temperature is colder than the harvest termination temperature at start up, the
water plate will open (lower).
If there is an obstruction preventing the water plate from closing, it will re-open (lower)
If the evaporator temperature is warmer than the harvest termination temperature and the water
plate is open, it will close (raise).
Controls and Adjustments
On-Off Switch: Used to turn the ice machine on or off.
CAUTION: Switching the machine “off” does not de-energize all circuits. Always disconnect
power before servicing.
Ice-Clean Switch: The “Ice” position signals the controller to provide full operation of the ice
machine. The “Clean” position will exclude operation of the compressor and condenser fan motor
(air cooled models) and provide operation required for the cleaning procedure.
Defrost Button: Push this button anytime lowering the water plate and/or forcing the ice machine
into the defrost mode is desired. The water plate will remain down for four minutes and then return
to normal operation. Pushing the button again, while the plate is down, will immediately return the
machine to normal operation.
Float Switch: Closes water inlet valve when water sump is full
Page 99
94
Evaporator Probe: Provides evaporator temperature information to the control board to begin and
end the defrost cycle. Adjust the left potentiometer on the control board to determine ice cube
fullness. Turn CW to extend the freeze time and CCW to shorten it.
NOTE: Ice cubes should never be frozen completely full. A small dimple in each cube
indicates a proper adjustment. Making cubes without a dimple will reduce ice machine
capacity and may cause damage to the water plate and operating mechanism.
Bin Probe: This probe will sense contact with the ice, when the bin is full and turn off the ice
machine. When ice is used and is no longer in contact the probe, it will signal the control to turn on
the ice machine. When the ice machine is off due to a full bin, the code 90 indicator will be lit on the
control board. Contact with ice should turn off the ice machine within one minute.
If adjustment is required, hold ice against the probe. Turn the right side potentiometer on the control
board CCW to shut off the machine within one minute. CW adjustment is required if the ice machine
shuts down, as if the bin is full, when ice has not contacted the probe.
Plate-Up Switch: This switch limits the upward travel of the water plate. It opens to de-energize the
actuator motor, by way of an operator when its shaft is in the full up (closed) position.
This switch also provides a way for the controller to determine that the plate is blocked. When the
plate is closing, the controller provides a time limit for this switch to open. If the time limit is
exceeded, the controller will reopen the water plate to clear it. This will repeat until the surface is
clear.
Plate-Down Switch: This switch limits the downward travel of the water plate. It opens to deenergize the actuator motor, by way of an operator when its shaft is in the full down (open) position.
Sequence of Operation
The following tables describe the general states and sequence of operation for the ice machine
models in ice-making mode with an additional table depicting the status when the ice bin is full and
the cleaning mode. The charts provide information about the inputs to the controller and the
corresponding AC outputs associated with each part of the ice making cycle.

Sequence of Operation
Description of Each Process
The following sequence begins with the cuber as shipped from the factory with the water plate(s)
closed and ready to begin a normal ice making cycle.
Fill: The water solenoid valve will be energized until the water level switch indicates that the sump is
full. The water pump will run as the water is filling the sump, If the water plate is open, it will close
before the pump starts. The water solenoid valve will remain de-energized until the following cycle
starts. No additional water will be introduced during the freeze cycle.
Freeze: The freeze cycle begins as the sump is filling with water. The water level in the sump will
drop as the ice cubes are formed.
Lower: When the evaporator outlet reaches the set temperature point the machine will go into
harvest. The water plate begins to open and the defrost valve is energized to allow hot gas to
circulate through the evaporator. The evaporator warms to begin the ice harvest. The dump valve is
also open at this time, to drain the remaining mineral laden water from the sump. When fully open,
the water plate will stop.
Harvest: The evaporator continues to warm until the ice falls out onto the water plate and into the ice
bin. When the evaporator reaches a pre-set temperature, indicating that all the ice has dropped out,
the defrost valve is de-energized and the water plate begins to close.
