Page 32
Calculated Line Set Distance
The maximum calculated distance is 150' (45.7 m).
Line set rises, drops, horizontal runs (or combinations
of these) in excess of the stated maximums will exceed
compressor start-up and design limits. This will cause poor
oil return to the compressor.
Make the following calculations to make sure the line set
layout is within specifications.
1. Insert the measured rise into the formula below.
Multiply by 1.7 to get the calculated rise.
(Example: A condenser located 10 feet above the ice
machine has a calculated rise of 17 feet.)
2. Insert the measured drop into the formula below.
Multiply by 6.6 to get the calculated drop.
(Example. A condenser located 10 feet below the ice
machine has a calculated drop of 66 feet.)
3. Insert the measured horizontal distance into the
formula below. No calculation is necessary.
4. Add together the calculated rise, calculated drop,
and horizontal distance to get the total calculated distance. If this total exceeds 150' (45.7 m), move
the condenser to a new location and perform the
calculations again.

Remote Ice Machine Usage with NonManitowoc Multi-Circuit Condensers
Warranty
The sixty (60) month compressor warranty, including thirty
six (36) month labor replacement warranty, shall not apply
when the remote ice machine is not installed within the
remote specifications. The foregoing warranty shall not
apply to any ice machine installed and/or maintained
inconsistent with the technical instructions provided
by Manitowoc Ice. Performance may vary from Sales
specifications. ARI certified standard ratings only apply
when used with a Manitowoc remote condenser.
If the design of the condenser meets the specifications,
Manitowoc’s only approval is for full warranty coverage
to be extended to the Manitowoc manufactured part of
the system. Since Manitowoc does not test the condenser
in conjunction with the ice machine, Manitowoc will not
endorse, recommend, or approve the condenser, and will
not be responsible for its performance or reliability.
Important
Manitowoc warrants only complete new and unused
remote packages. Guaranteeing the integrity of a new
ice machine under the terms of our warranty prohibits

Fan Motor
The condenser fan must be on during the complete ice
machine freeze cycle (do not cycle on fan cycle control).
The ice maker has a condenser fan motor circuit for use
with a Manitowoc condenser. It is recommended that
this circuit be used to control the condenser fan(s) on the
multi-circuit condenser to assure it is on at the proper
time. Do not exceed the rated amps for the fan motor
circuit listed on the ice machine’s serial tag.
Internal Condenser Volume
The multi-circuit condenser internal volume must not
be less than or exceed that used by Manitowoc. Do
not exceed internal volume and try to add charge to
compensate, as compressor failure will result.
The ice machine model/serial tag lists the refrigerant
amount. Remote condensers and line sets contain a vapor
charge only.
Refer to “Total System Refrigerant Charge” on page 199
for system refrigerant amounts.
Quick Connect Fittings
The ice machine and line sets come with quick connect
fittings. It is recommended that matching quick connects
(available through Manitowoc Distributors K00129) be
installed in the multi-circuit condenser, and that a vapor
“holding” charge, 5 oz. (150 ml), of proper refrigerant be
added to the condenser prior to connection of the ice

Operational Checks
GENERAL
Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and
adjusted before shipment. Normally, new installations do
not require any adjustment.
To ensure proper operation, always follow the Operational
Checks:
• when starting the ice machine for the first time
• after a prolonged out of service period
• after cleaning, de-scaling and sanitizing
NOTE: Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures
are not covered by the warranty.
Important
Refrigeration compressors must be operated for a
minimum break in period of 24 hours before full ice
production will be reached.
Part Number: 000015430 Rev 04 4/22 63

ICE THICKNESS CHECK
The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice
bridge thickness at 1/8" (3 mm).
NOTE: Make sure the water curtain/splash shields are in
place when performing this check. It prevents water from
splashing out of the water trough. Remove the curtain to
make an adjustment, then replace immediately after the
adjustment is made.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should be
1/8" (3 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase bridge
thickness or counterclockwise to decrease bridge
thickness. Set a 9/32" gap between the ice thickness
probe and evaporator as a starting point. Then adjust
to achieve 1/8" ice thickness.
3. Make sure the ice thickness probe wire and the
bracket do not restrict movement of the probe.

Control Board Timers
The control board has the following non-adjustable timers:
• The ice machine is locked into the freeze cycle for 6
minutes before the ice thickness probe can initiate a
harvest cycle.
• The maximum freeze time is 35 minutes at which time
the control board automatically initiates a harvest
sequence.
• The maximum harvest time is 7 minutes, the control
board will preform a Thaw Cycle and then return the
ice machine to the freeze cycle.
• Maximum water fill time in the freeze cycle:
• Single evaporator 6 minutes.
• Dual evaporator 8 minutes.

Sequence of Operation
SELF CONTAINED AIR OR WATER COOLED
NOTE: The power button must be depressed and the water
curtain/ice dampers must be in place on the evaporator
before the ice machine will start.
Initial Start-Up or Start-Up After Automatic Shut-Off
1. Water Purge
Before the compressor starts, the water pump and water
dump solenoid energize to purge the ice machine of old
water. This feature ensures that the ice making cycle starts
with fresh water.
2. Refrigeration System Equalization and Start-Up
The harvest valve(s) and air pump(s) energize to equalize
high and low side refrigeration pressure.
After 5 seconds the contactor energizes the compressor
and supplies power to the condenser fan motor. After 5
seconds the harvest valve(s) and air pump(s) de-energize.
NOTE: The fan motor is wired through a fan cycle pressure
control. When the discharge pressure exceeds the cut in
pressure the fan cycle switch closes and energizes the fan
motor.
Freeze Sequence
3. Prechill
The compressor is on for 30 seconds (120 seconds initial
cycle) to lower the temperature of the evaporator(s)
before the water pump is energized. The water fill valve
will energize and remain on until water touches the low
and high, water level probes for 5 seconds.
66 Part Number: 000015430 Rev 04 4/22
Page 66
4. Freeze
Water Pump
The water pump(s) energizes and water flows over the
evaporator. The water pump is energized throughout the
freeze cycle.
Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve energized in prechill. After water
contacts the low and high water probes the water fill valve
de-energizes. Ice builds on the evaporator and the water
level drops. When water loses contact with the high water
probe, the water fill valve energizes until water contacts
the high water probe again.
NOTE: After the second fill the water valve relay is locked
out.
Maximum Fill Time = Prechill fill time + first fill + second fill.
SINGLE EVAPORATOR MAXIMUM FILL TIME
Initial startup or startup after automatic shutoff
Prechill (2 minutes) + first fill time (6 minutes) + second fill
time (6 minutes) = 14.0 minutes.
Consecutive cycles
Prechill (30 sec.) + first fill time (6 minutes) + second fill
time (6 minutes) = 12.5 minutes.
DUAL EVAPORATOR MAXIMUM FILL TIMES
Initial startup or startup after automatic shutoff
Prechill (2 minutes) + first fill time (8 minutes) + second fill
time (8 minutes) = 18.0 minutes.
Consecutive cycles
Prechill (30 sec.) + first fill time (8 minutes) + second fill
time (8 minutes) = 16.5 minutes.
Part Number: 000015430 Rev 04 4/22 67
Page 67
Ice Thickness Probe
The freeze cycle continues until the six minute freeze lock
expires and enough ice has formed to send a signal from
the ice thickness probe to the control board.
During the first 6 minutes of the freeze cycle the ice
thickness probe microphone samples ambient noise.
6 minutes into the freeze cycle baseline readings are
recorded. Ice formation on the evaporator will change
the readings; when the baseline readings are exceeded a
harvest cycle starts.
Harvest Sequence
5. Water Purge
The air pump(s) (when used) and the harvest valve(s) open
at the beginning of the water purge to divert discharge
refrigerant gas into the evaporator.
The water pump(s) continues to run, and the water dump
valve energizes to purge any remain water in the water
trough down the drain.
68 Part Number: 000015430 Rev 04 4/22
Page 68
6. Harvest
The air pump (when used) remains energized and the
harvest valve(s) remains open. The refrigerant gas warms
the evaporator causing the cubes to slide, as a sheet, off
the evaporator and into the storage bin. If the damper/
curtain does not open within 3.5 minutes in the harvest
cycle the following occurs:
• 3.5 minutes - The water inlet valve energizes until
water touches the high water level probe.
• 4 minutes - The water pump energizes.
• 6.5 to 7 minutes - The water dump valve energizes.
When the sliding sheet of cubes opens and closes within
30 seconds the bin switch terminates the harvest sequence
and returns the ice machine to the freeze sequence
(step 3 - 4).
NOTE: If bin switch does not open before 7 minutes the ice
machine will start a Thaw Cycle - Refer to “Thaw Cycle” on
page 86 for details.
Automatic Shut-Off
7. Automatic Shut-Off
When the storage bin is full at the end of a harvest
sequence, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the water
curtain/ice damper and will hold it open. After the water
curtain/ice damper is held open for 30 seconds, the ice
machine shuts off. The ice machine remains off for 3
minutes before it can automatically restart.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice has been
removed from the storage bin to allow the ice to fall clear
of the water curtain or all of the ice dampers. As the water
curtain/ice dampers swing back to the closed position, the
bin switch re-closes and the ice machine restarts (steps 1 -
2), provided the 3 minute delay period is complete.

NOTE: The power button must be depressed and the water
curtain/ice dampers must be in place on the evaporator
before the ice machine will start.
Initial Start-Up or Start-Up After Automatic Shut-Off
1. Water Purge
Before the compressor starts, the water pump and water
dump solenoid are energized for 45 seconds, to completely
purge the ice machine of old water. This feature ensures
that the ice making cycle starts with fresh water.
2. Refrigeration System Equalization and Start-Up
The harvest valve, air pump(s) and harvest pressure
regulating (HPR) solenoid valves energize to equalize high
and low side refrigeration pressure.
After 5 seconds the liquid line solenoid valve energizes and
the contactor energizes the compressor and condenser fan
motor.
Freeze Sequence
3. Prechill
The compressor is on for 30 seconds (120 seconds initial
cycle) to lower the temperature of the evaporator(s)
before the water pump is energized. The water fill valve
will energize and remain on until water touches the low
and high water level probes.
72 Part Number: 000015430 Rev 04 4/22
Page 72
4. Freeze
Water Pump
The water pump(s) energizes and water flows over the
evaporator. The water pump is energized throughout the
freeze cycle.
Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve energized in prechill. After water
contacts the low and high water probes the water fill valve
de-energizes. Ice builds on the evaporator and the water
level drops. When water loses contact with the high water
probe, the water fill valve energizes until water contacts
the high water probe again.
Maximum Fill Time = Prechill fill time + first fill + second fill.
SINGLE EVAPORATOR MAXIMUM FILL TIME
Initial startup or startup after automatic shutoff
Prechill (2 minutes) + first fill time (6 minutes) + second fill
time (6 minutes) = 14.0 minutes.
Consecutive cycles
Prechill (30 sec.) + first fill time (6 minutes) + second fill
time (6 minutes) = 12.5 minutes.
DUAL EVAPORATOR MAXIMUM FILL TIMES
Initial startup or startup after automatic shutoff
Prechill (2 minutes) + first fill time (8 minutes) + second fill
time (8 minutes) = 18.0 minutes.
Consecutive cycles
Prechill (30 sec.) + first fill time (8 minutes) + second fill
time (8 minutes) = 16.5 minutes.
Part Number: 000015430 Rev 04 4/22 73
Page 73
Ice Thickness Probe
The freeze cycle continues until the six minute freeze lock
expires and enough ice has formed to send a signal from
the ice thickness probe to the control board.
During the first 6 minutes of the freeze cycle the ice
thickness probe microphone samples ambient noise.
6 minutes into the freeze cycle 4 baseline readings are
recorded. Ice formation on the evaporator will change
the readings; when two of the four baseline readings are
exceeded a harvest cycle starts.
Harvest Sequence
5. Water Purge
The air pump (when used) the harvest valve(s) and
harvest pressure regulating valve (HPR) energize to divert
refrigerant gas to the evaporator.
The water pump continues to run, and the water dump
valve energizes to purge the water in the water trough.
6. Harvest
The harvest valve, air pump(s) and harvest pressure
regulating (HPR) solenoid valves remain energized and the
refrigerant gas warms the evaporator causing the cubes to
slide, as a sheet, off the evaporator and into the storage
bin. If the damper/curtain does not open within 3.5
minutes in the harvest cycle the following occurs:
• 3.5 minutes - The water inlet valve energizes until
water touches the high water level probe.
• 4 minutes - The water pump energizes.
• 6.5 to 7 minutes - The water dump valve energizes.
When the sliding sheet of cubes opens and closes within
30 seconds the bin switch terminates the harvest sequence
and returns the ice machine to the freeze sequence (step
3 - 4).
NOTE: If bin switch does not open before 7 minutes the ice
machine will start a Thaw Cycle - Refer to “Thaw Cycle” on
page 86 for details.

sequence, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the water
curtain/ice damper and will hold it open. After the water
curtain/ice damper is held open for 30 seconds, the ice
machine shuts off. The ice machine remains off for 3
minutes before it can automatically restart.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice has been
removed from the storage bin to allow the ice to fall clear
of the water curtain or all of the ice dampers. As the water
curtain/ice dampers swing back to the closed position, the
bin switch re-closes and the ice machine restarts (steps 1 -

THAW CYCLE
When the damper/curtain does not open during the 7
minute harvest cycle the following Thaw Cycle occurs:
• 7 minutes - The compressor, harvest solenoid valve
and dump valve de-energize.
The water pump remains energized and the water inlet
valve energizes until water touches the high water
level probe.
• Water is circulated, dumped and refilled to the high
water level probe 18 times (approximately 1 hour).
Model 1200 or smaller:
Circulate 165 seconds, dump 45 seconds
Model 1400 and larger:
Circulate 240 seconds, dump 120 seconds
• At the end of the thaw cycle (approximately 1 - 1.75
hour) the ice machine will start another freeze cycle.
Curtain Operation In Thaw Cycle Harvest
• Open & close damper = Continue Thaw Cycle
• Open damper 30 seconds = Full Bin Shutoff
Use the keypad and turn the ice machine off and then on
to terminate the cycle. Disconnecting and reconnecting
power to end the cycle will result in the ice machine
restarting in a harvest cycle.

Page 86
SAFE OPERATION MODE
Allows the ice machine to operate up to 72 hours if the
ice thickness probe (E19 fault) and/or water level probe
sensors fail (E20 fault).
• When the control board starts the safe mode, an alert
is flashed on the display to notify the end-user they
have a production problem.
• The control board automatically initiates and monitors
the safe mode. The control will automatically exit the
safe mode if a normal signal is received from the input.
• After 72 consecutive hours the control board will enter
a standby mode and turn off.
NOTE: When the ice machine is first powered up or there
is a power loss and restarted, a water fill time array will be
used in calculating the average of the five cycles.

E01 LONG FREEZE CYCLE
If the freeze time reaches 35 minutes, the control board
automatically initiates a harvest cycle. If 3 consecutive
35-minute freeze cycles occur, the ice machine stops.
E02 LONG HARVEST CYCLE
If the harvest time reaches 7 minutes, the control board
will start a Thaw Cycle and automatically return the ice
machine to the freeze cycle. After 3 consecutive long
harvest cycles the ice machine stops.
ANALYZING WHY A SERVICE FAULT E01 & E02
STOPPED THE ICE MACHINE
Service Faults are designed to stop the ice machine prior
to major component failures, most often a minor problem
or something external to the ice machine. This may be
difficult to diagnose, as many external problems occur
intermittently.
Example: An ice machine stops intermittently on Service
Fault (long freeze times). The problem could be a low
ambient temperature at night, a water pressure drop, the
water is turned off one night a week, etc.
Refrigeration and electrical component failures will cause
a Service Fault trip. Eliminate all electrical components
and external causes first. If it appears that the refrigeration
system is causing the problem, use Manitowoc’s Freeze
Cycle Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table,
along with detailed charts, checklists, and other references
to determine the cause.
The following checklists are designed to assist the service
technician in analysis. However, because there are many
possible external problems, do not limit your diagnosis to
only the items listed.

How to Use the Freeze Cycle Refrigeration System
Operational Analysis Table
GENERAL
These tables must be used with charts, checklists and
other references to eliminate refrigeration components
not listed on the tables and external items and problems
which can cause good refrigeration components to appear
defective.
The tables list five different defects that may affect the ice
machine’s operation.
NOTE: A low-on-charge ice machine and a starving
expansion valve have very similar characteristics and are
listed under the same column.
NOTE: Before starting, see “Before Beginning Service” for
a few questions to ask when talking to the ice machine
owner.
PROCEDURE
Step 1 Complete the “Operation Analysis” column.
Read down the left “Operational Analysis” column.
Perform all procedures and check all information listed.
Each item in this column has supporting reference material
to help analyze each step.
While analyzing each item separately, you may find an
“external problem” causing a good refrigerant component
to appear bad. Correct problems as they are found. If
the operational problem is found, it is not necessary to
complete the remaining procedures.
Part Number: 000015430 Rev 04 4/22 97
Page 97
Step 2 Enter Checkmarks ().
Each time the actual findings of an item in the
“Operational Analysis” column matches the published
findings on the table, enter a Checkmark.
Example: Freeze cycle suction pressure is determined to be
low. Enter a Checkmark in the “low” column.
Step 3 Add the Checkmarks listed under each of
the four columns. Note the column number
with the highest total and proceed to “Final
Analysis.”
NOTE: If two columns have matching high numbers,
a procedure was not performed properly, supporting
material was not analyzed correctly or the problem
component is not covered by the analysis table.
Before Beginning Service
Ice machines may experience operational problems
only during certain times of the day or night. A machine
may function properly while it is being serviced, but
malfunctions later. Information provided by the user can
help the technician start in the right direction, and may be
a determining factor in the final diagnosis.
Ask these questions before beginning service:
• When does the ice machine malfunction? (night, day,
all the time, only during the Freeze cycle, etc.)
• When do you notice low ice production? (one day a
week, every day, on weekends, etc.)
• Can you describe exactly what the ice machine seems
