Operation
Sequence of Operation
*Initial Start-Up or Start-Up After Automatic Shut-Off INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1. Water Purge
The water fill valve and the hot gas valve are energized for 2.9 minutes (175 seconds). This ensures that the ice making cycle starts with fresh water, and that the refrigerant pressures are equalized prior to refrigeration system start-up.
2. Refrigeration System Start-Up
The compressor starts 2.9 minutes (175 seconds) after the water fill valve and hot gas valve are energized. (The water fill valve and hot gas valve remain energized for 5 seconds during compressor start-up, and then shut off.) The compressor remains on throughout the entire freeze and harvest cycles.
3. freeze cycle
The condenser fan motor and water pump are ener gized and remain on throughout the entire freeze cycle. An even flow of water is directed across the evaporator and into each cube cell, where it freezes.
The control system automatically determines the length of the freeze cycle by monitoring the temperature of the refrigeration system liquid line.
4. harvest cycle
The condenser fan motor and water pump de-energize. The water fill valve energizes to purge the water in the water trough. The hot gas valve also energizes at the beginning of the harvest cycle to divert hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The hot refrigerant gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide, as a sheet, off the evaporator and into the ice storage bin.
The control system automatically determines the length of the harvest cycle, based on the temperature of the refrigeration system liquid line at the end of the freeze cycle. At the end of the harvest cycle, the ice machine returns to another freeze cycle.
5. automatic shut-off
The ice machine shut-off is controlled by the level of ice in the ice storage bin. When the bin is full, ice cubes contact the bin thermostat bulb holder , which cools down and opens to stop the ice machine. The ice machine remains off until enough ice has been removed fr om the bin. This causes the thermostat bulb holder to warm an d close, restarting the ice machine. When the ice machine restarts, it returns to the start-up sequence.

Ice Thickness Adjustment
QM30 dice ice cube formation is slightly different from our previous models. Manitowoc ice machines have a unique cube shape. It is normal to have a dimple in the ice cube (a concave indentation in the cube). Ice cubes from the QM30 may appear to have a slightly larger dimple than other Manitowoc dice cube machines. Therefore, cube size for the QM30 is determined by measuring the slab weight (the combined weight of all cubes from one harvest cycle). To determine proper slab weight follow the instructions listed below.
Correct Ice Bridge Thickness
1. Ensure the air filter, front, and back panels are installed properly and close the bin door.
2. During the third harvest cycle open the bin door and catch the entire slab of ice.
3. Weigh the ice slab. The combined weight of all cubes from one harvest should weigh between 200 ­270g (7 - 9-oz). If the slab weight is within this range, the ice machine is working properly and no further action is needed. If the slab weight is not within this range or you desire a slightly thicker or thinner cube, continue to step four.
4. Remove the air filter.
5. Remove the two screws holding the front panel in place and remove the front cover.
6. Locate the ice thickness control dial on the control board (see below). Turn the dial clockwise for a thicker cube or counter clockwise for a thinner cube.
Ice Thickness Adjustment Dial
7. Assure all of the panels and air filter are reinstalled properly and the bin door is closed. Repeat steps one through three.
After completing the procedure above, if you are unable to obtain a sheet of ice weighing 200 - 270g
(7 - 9-oz) contact the Manitowoc Service Department for further assistance.

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.
1. The washable aluminum filter on self-contained ice machines is designed to catch dust, dirt, lint and grease. This helps keep the condenser clean. Clean the filter with a mild soap and water solution.
Removing the Filter
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a sof t brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to bend the condenser fins.
3. Shine a flashlight through the co nd en se r to check for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains: Blow compressed air through the condenser fins from the inside. Be careful not to bend the fan blades.
4. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow the directions and cautions supplied with the cleaner.
5. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
6. Carefully wipe off the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. Do not bend the fan blades. If the fan blades are excessively dirty, wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Removal from Service/Winterization
Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is to be removed from service for an extended period of time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 0° C (32°F) or below.
1. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker or the electric service switch.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Remove the water from the water trough.
4. Disconnect the drain and the incoming ice-making water line at the rear of the ice machine.
5. Make sure no water is trapped inside the ice machine incoming water lines, drain lines, distribution tubes, etc. Blow compressed air through the line if necessary.
