B.T.U./Hour
Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle,
the figure shown is an average.
Air Conditioning
Heat of Rejection
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject
heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the
amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing
air conditioning equipment where self -c on ta ine d aircooled ice machines are installed.
This information is also necessary when evaluating the
benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to
reduce air conditioning loads . The am ount of heat add ed
to an air conditioned environment by an ice machine
using a water-cooled or remote condenser is negligible.
Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important
when sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled
condenser. Use the peak figure for sizing the cooling
tower.

Section 2Installation Instructions
Water Supply and Drain Requirements
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and
remove chlorine odor and taste.
Important
If you are installing a Manitowoc water filter system,
refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the
filter system for ice making water inlet connections.
WATER INLET LINES
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•Do not connect the ice machine to a hot wate r supply.
Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other
equipment are working. (Check valves on sink
faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
•If water pressure exceeds the maximum
recommended pressure, obtain a water pressure
regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
•Install a water shut-off valve for both the ice making
and condenser water lines.
•Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to
prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice
machine and storage bin:
•Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of
run (2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
•The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
•Run separate bin and ice machine drain lines.
Insulate them to prevent condensation.
•Vent the bin and ice machine drain to the
atmosphere. Do not vent the condenser drain on
water-cooled models.
Cooling Tower Applications
(Water-Cooled Models)
A water cooling tower installation does not require
modification of the ice machine. The water regulator
valve for the condenser continues to control the
refrigeration discharge pressure.
It is necessary to know the amount of heat rejection, and
the pressure drop through the condenser and water
valves (inlet and outlet) when using a cooling tower on
an ice machine.
•Water entering the co ndenser must not exceed 90°F
(32.2°C).
•Water flow th rough the condenser m ust not e xceed 5
gallons (19 liters) per minute.
•Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psi (48 kPA) between
the condenser water inlet and the outlet of the ice
machine.
•Water exiting the condenser must not exceed 110°F
(43.3°C).
Each remote ice machine ships from the factory with a
refrigerant charge appropriate for installation with line
sets of up to 50' (15.25 m). The serial tag on the ice
machine indicates the refrigerant charge.
Circuit
Condenser
Line Set*
RT-35-R404A
RT-50-R404A

RL-50-R404A
Additional refrigerant may be required for installations
using line sets between 50' and 100' (15.25-30.5 m)
long. If additional refrigerant is required, an additional
label located next to the Model/Serial Numbers decal
states the amount of refrigerant to be added.
IMPORTANT
EPA CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS
If remote line set length is between 50' and 100' (15.25-
30.5 m), add 1.5 lb. (24 oz) (0.68 kg) of refrigerant to the
nameplate charge.
Tubing length: _______________________________
Refrigerant added to nameplate: ________________
New total refrigerant charge: ___________________
Typical Additional Refrigerant Label
If there is no additional label, the nameplate charge is
sufficient for line set s up to 100' (30. 5 m). (See the chart
below.)
WARNING
Potential Personal Injury Situation
The ice machine contains refrigerant charge. Installation
of the line sets must be performed by a properly trained and
EPA certified refrigeration technician aware of the dangers
Condensers must be mounted horizontally with the fan
motor on top.
Remote condenser installations consist of v ertical and
horizontal line sets between the ice machine and the
condenser. When combined, they must fit within
approved specifications. The following guidelines,
drawings and calculation methods must be followed to
verify a proper remote condenser installa tion.
Caution
!
The 60 month compressor warranty (including the
36 month labor replacement warranty) will not apply
if the remote ice machine is not installed according
to specifications.
This warranty also will not apply if the refrigeration
system is modified with a condenser, heat reclaim
device, or other parts or assemblies not
manufactured by Manitowoc Ice, Inc., unless
specifically approved in writing by Manitowoc Ice,
Inc.
GUIDELINES FOR ROUTING LINE SETS
First, cut a 2.5" (63.5 mm) circular hole in t he wall or ro of
for tubing routing. The line set en d with the 90° bend will
connect to the ice machine. The straight end will connect
to the remote condenser.
Follow these guidelines when routing the refrigerant
lines. This will help insure proper performance and
service accessibility.
1. Optional - Make the service loop in the line sets
(See below). This permits easy access to the ice
machine for cleaning and service. Do not use hard
rigid copper at this location.
2. Required - Do not form traps in the re frigeration lines
(except the service loop). Refrigerant oil must be
free to drain toward the ice machine or the
condenser. Route excess tubing in a supported
downward horizontal spiral (See below). Do not coil
tubing vertically.
3. Required - Keep outdoor refrigerant line runs as
short as possible.
The maximum length is 100' (30.5 m).
The ice machine compressor must have the proper oil
return. The receiver is designed to hold a char ge
sufficient to operate the ice machine in ambient
temperatures between -20°F (-28.9°C) and 120°F
(49°C), with line set lengths of up to 100' (30.5 m).
Line Set Rise/Drop
The maximum rise is 35' (10.7 m).
The maximum drop is 15' (4.5 m).
Caution
!
If a line set has a rise followed by a drop, another
rise cannot be made. Likewise, if a line set has a
drop followed by a rise, another drop cannot be
made.
Calculated Line Set Distance
The maximum distance is 150' (45.7 m).
Line set rises, drops, ho rizontal runs (or combina tions 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 mak e sure the line set
layout is within specifications.
1. Insert th e 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 th e measured drop into the formula below.
Multiply by 6.6 to get the calculated drop.
(Example. A condenser located 10 f eet below t he ice
machine has a calculated drop of 66 feet.)
3. Insert th e 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

LENGTHENING OR REDUCING LINE SET LENGTHS
In most cases, b y routing the line set properly,
shortening will not be necessary. When shortening or
lengthening is required, do so bef ore con necting the lin e
set to the ice machine or the remote condenser. This
prevents the loss of refrigerant in the ice machine or
condenser.
The quick connect fittings on the line sets are equipped
with Schraeder valves. Use these valves to recover any
vapor charge from the line set. When lengthening or
shortening lines, follow good refrigeration practices and
insulate new tubing. Do not change the tube sizes.
Evacuate the lines and place a bo ut 5 oz (1 43 g) of vapor
refrigerant charge in each line.
CONNECTING A LINE SET
1. Remove the dust caps from the line set, condenser
and ice machine.
2. Apply refrigeration oil to the threads on the quick
disconnect couplers before connecting them to the
condenser.
3. Carefully thread the female fitting to the condenser
or ice machine by hand.
4. Tighten the couplings with a wrench until they
bottom out.

Remote Ice Machine Usage with Non-Manitowoc 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, Inc. Performance may vary
from Sales specifications. Q-Model ARI certified
standard ratings only apply when used with a Manito woc
remote condenser.
If the design of the condenser meets the specificatio ns,
Manitowoc’s
be extended to the Manitowoc manufactured part of the
system. Since Manitowoc does
conjunction with the ice machine, Manitowoc will not
endorse, recommend, or approve the condenser, and
will not be responsible for its performance or reliability.
only approval is f or full w arranty cov erage to
not test the condenser in
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 the use of pre-existing (used) tubing or
condensers.
HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
Any remote condenser connected to a Manitowoc QModel Ice Machine must have a head pressure control
valve #836809 -3 (a v ailab le from Ma nitow oc Distributors)
installed on the condenser package. Manitowoc will not accept substitute “off the shelf” head pressure control
valves.
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 (see chart
on next page). Do not exceed internal volume and try
to add charge to compensate, as compressor failure
will result.
CONDENSER ∆T
∆T is the difference in temperature between the
condensing refrigerant and entering air. The ∆T should
be 15 to 20°F (-9.4 to -6.6°C) at the beginning of the
freeze cycle (peak load conditions) and dr op down to 12
to 17°F (-11.1 to -8.3°C) during the last 75% of the
freeze cycle (average load conditions).
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
Remote ice machines have the serial plate refrigerant
charge (total system charge) located in the ice maker
section. (Remote condensers and line sets are supplied
with only a vapor charge.)
Caution
!
Never add more than nameplate charge to ice
machine for any application.
Caution
!
Do not use a fan cycling control to try to maintain
discharge pressure. Compressor failure will result.
Part No. 80-1375-32-17
QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS
The ice machine and line sets come with quick connect
fittings. It is recommended th at matching q uic k connects
(availab le through Manitow oc Distributors) be installed in
the multi-circuit condenser, and that a vapor “holding”
charge (5 oz.) of proper refrigerant be added to the
condenser prior to connection of the ice machine or line
set to the condenser.
Amount reflects additional R-404A refrigerant added to nameplate charge for 50' to 100' line sets, to ensure proper operation at all ambient
conditions. Q1300 has 1.5 lbs. additional R-404A. Q1600 and Q1800 has 2.0 lbs. additional R-404A

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.
The hot gas valve(s) is also energized during water
purge, although it stays on for an additional 5 seconds
(50 seconds total on time) during the initial refrigeration
system start-up.
2. Refrigeration System Start-Up
The compressor starts after the 45 second water purge,
and it remains on throughout the entire Freeze and
Harvest Sequences. The water fill valve is energized at
the same time as the compressor. It remains on until the
water level sensor closes for 3 continuous seconds, or
until a six-minute time period has expired.The hot gas
valve(s) remains on for 5 seconds during initial
compressor start-up and then shuts off.
At the same time the compressor starts, the condenser
fan motor (air-cooled models) is supplied with power
throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest Sequences.
The fan motor is wired through a fan cycle pressure
control, therefore it may cycle on and off. (The
compressor and condenser fan motor are wired through
the contactor. As a result, anytime the contactor coil is
energized, the compressor and fan motor are supplied
with power.)
FREEZE SEQUENCE
3. Prechill
The compressor is on for 30 seconds prior to water flow,
to prechill the evaporator.
4. Freeze
The water pump restarts after the 30 second prechill. An
even flow of water is directed across the evaporator and
into each cube cell, where it freezes. The water fill valve
will cycle on and then off one more time to refill the water
trough.
When sufficient ice has formed, the water flow (not the
ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After
approximately 7 seconds of continual water contact, the
harvest sequence is initiated. The ice machine cannot
initiate a harvest sequence until a 6 minute freeze lock
has been surpassed.

After the 45 second water purge, the water fill valve,
water pump and dump valve de-energize. (Refer to
“Water Purge Adjustment” for details.) The hot gas valve
also opens at the beginning of the water purge to divert
hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator.
6. Harvest
The hot gas valve(s) remains open and the refrigerant
gas warms the evaporator causing the cubes to slide, as
a sheet, off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The
sliding sheet of cubes swings the water curtain out,
opening the bin switch. The momentary opening and reclosing of the bin switch terminates the harvest
sequence and returns the ice machine to the freeze
sequence (Step 3 - 4.)

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 and will hold it open. After the water curtain is
held open for 7 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. As the water curtain swings back to
the operating position, the bin switch re-closes and the
ice machine restarts (steps 1 - 2), provided the 3 minute
delay period is complete.

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 and sanitizing
NOTE: Routine adjustments and maintenance
procedures are not covered by the warranty.
WATER LEVEL
The water level sensor is set to maintain the proper
water level above the water pump housing. The water
level is not adjustable.
If the water level is incorrect, check the water level probe
for damage (probe bent, etc.). Repair or replace the
probe as necessary.
ICE THICKNESS CHECK
The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice
bridge thickness at 1/8" (3.2 mm).
NOTE: Make sure the water curtain is in place when
performing this check. It prevents water from splashing
out of the water trough.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should
be about 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase
bridge thickness, counterclockwise to decrease
bridge thickness.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will change
the ice thickness about 1/16" (1.5 mm).

HARVEST SEQUENCE WATER PURGE
The harvest sequence water purge adjustment may be
used when the ice machine is hooked up to special
water systems, such as a de-ionized water treatment
system.
Important
The harvest sequence water purge is factory-set at
45 seconds. A shorter purge setting (with standard
water supplies such as city water) is not
recommended. This can increase water system
cleaning and sanitizing requirements.
•The harvest sequence water purge may be set to 15,
30, or 45 seconds.
•During the harvest sequence water purge, the water
fill valve energizes and de-energizes by time. The
water purge must be at the factory setting of 45
seconds for the water fill valve to energize during the
last 15 seconds of the water purge. If it is set to less
than 45 seconds, the water fill valve will not energize
during the water purge.

Maintenance
General
You are responsible for maintaining the ice machine in
accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Maintenance procedures are not covered by the
warranty.
!
Warning
If you do not understand the procedures or the
safety precautions that must be followed, call your
local Manitowoc service representative to perform
the maintenance procedures for you.
We recommend that you perform the following
maintenance procedures every six months to ensure
reliable, trouble-free operation and maximum ice
production.
Ice Machine Inspection
Warning
!
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and
the remote condensing unit at the electric service
switch before cleaning the condenser.
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make
sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating
against other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) on the sides or back of
the ice machine. There must be adequate airflow
through and around the ice machine to maximize ice
production and ensure long component life.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They
will scratch the panels.

Cleaning the Condenser
GENERAL
3. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
!
Warning
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine head
section and the remote condensing unit at the
electric service switches before cleaning the
condenser.
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces
ice production and shortens component life. Clean the
condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps
below.
!
Warning
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when
cleaning them.
1. Clean the outside of the condenser with a sof t bru sh
or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Be careful not
to bend the condenser fins.
2. Shine a flashlight through the conden se r to che ck

Section 4Maintenance
WATER-COOLED CONDENSER
AND WATER REGULATING VALVE
Symptoms of restrictions in the condenser water circuit
include:
•Low ice production
•High water consumption
•High operating temperatures
•High operating pressures
If the ice machine is experiencing any of these symptoms,
the water-cooled condenser and water regulating valve
may require cleaning due to scale build-up.
The cleaning procedures require special pumps and
cleaning solutions. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for the specific cleaner being used.
MANITOWOC’S PATENTED CLEANING OR
SANITIZING TECHNOLOGY
Manitowoc Ice Machines include technology that allows
the initiation and completion of a cleaning or sanitizing
cycle at the flip of a switch. This cycle will permit
cleaning or sanitizing of all surfaces that come in contact
with the water distribution system. Periodic maintenance
must be performed that includes sanitizing the bin (or
dispenser) and adjacent surface areas, which cannot be
contacted by the water distribution system.
This technology will also allow initiation and completion
of a clean or sanitize cycle, after which the ice machine
automatically starts ice making again.
Refer to the cleaning or sanitizing procedure for
complete details.
The AuCS Accessory can be set to automatically start
and finish a clean or sanitize cycle every 2, 4, or 12
weeks. This accessory monitors ice-making cycles and
initiates a cleaning or sanitizing cycle automatically.
Refer to Automatic Cleaning System (AuCS) Accessory
for further details.
ALPHASAN
®
The goal of AlphaSan is to keep the plastic surfaces of
an ice machine cleaner, by reducing or delaying the
formation of bio-film. The active ingredient in AlphaSan
is the element silver in the form of silver ions (Ag+).
AlphaSan slowly releases silver ions via an ion
exchange mechanism. When AlphaSan is compounded
directly into a plastic part, a controlled release of silver
ions from the surface is regulated to maintain an
effective concentration at or near the surface of the
plastic ice machine part. AlphaSan’s unique ability to
effectively control the release of silver not only protects
against undesired discoloration of the plastic, but also
will last the life of the plastic part. Although AlphaSan
helps prevent bio-film build up it does not eliminate the
need for periodic cleaning and maintenance. AlphaSan
has no adverse effect on the taste of the ice or
beverage.
