Removal From Service/Winterization
CAUTION
Leaving solutions in the AuCS in freezing
temperatures may result in severe damage to the
dispensing pump. A failure of this nature is not
covered by the warranty.
If the AuCS is to be removed from service for
extended periods, or if it is to be exposed to ambient
temperatures of 32F (0C) or below, follow this
procedure:
1. Remove the Cleaning or Sanitizing solution
bottle.
2. Follow the instructions under “Hose Priming” to
pump all of the solution out of the dispensing
pump and line.

Page 21
Section 3 Ice Machine Operation
Section 3
Ice Machine Operation
Automatic Operation
Manual Start Operation
The following occurs when the toggle switch is in
the ICE position:
The ice machine control board counts the
number of ice harvest cycles.
The AuCS
accessory interrupts the ice making
mode and starts the self-cleaning (or sanitizing)
mode when the harvest count equals the
“Frequency of Cleaning” setting of the AuCS
.
When the automatic self-cleaning(or sanitizing)
cycle is complete (approximately 25 minutes),
ice making resumes automatically, and the
“Harvest Count” is reset to zero.
Important
Opening the curtain switch will interrupt the
cleaning (or sanitizing) sequence. The sequence
will resume from the point of interruption when
the curtain recloses.
NOTE: The harvest count is reset after the AuCS
cycle is completed. It cannot be reset by unplugging
the modular wire, changing the switch position,
power loss, etc.
Step 1 Set the toggle switch to the OFF position
after ice falls from the evaporator at the end of a
Harvest cycle. Or, set the switch to the OFF
position and allow the ice to melt off the
evaporator.
CAUTION
Never use anything to force ice from the
evaporator. Damage may result.
Step 2 To start the automatic cleaning system,
move the toggle switch to the CLEAN position. The
water will flow through the water dump valve and
down the drain. The Clean light will turn on to
indicate the ice machine is in the Self-Cleaning
Mode. The AuCS
then automatically adds cleaner
or sanitizer to the ice machine.
Step 3 The ice machine will automatically time out
a ten minute cleaning or sanitizing cycle, followed
by six rinse cycles, de-energize the Clean light and
stop. This entire cycle lasts approximately 25
minutes.
Step 4 After the cleaning or sanitizing cycle stops,
move the toggle switch to ICE position.
Step 5 The ice machine may be set to start and
finish a self-cleaning (or sanitizing) cycle, then
automatically start ice making again.
You must wait about one minute into the cleaning
cycle (until water starts to flow over the
evaporator), then move the toggle switch from
CLEAN to ICE position.
When the self-cleaning cycle (or sanitizing) is
completed, an ice making sequence will start
automatically.

Ice Machine Operation Section 3
Changing Switch Position During Automatic Operation
If the toggle switch is moved to OFF prior to the
pump dispensing (less than 45 seconds into the cycle)
then switched to:
ICE
CLEAN
A normal ice-making mode begins.
A manual clean cycle begins.
(See “Manual Start Operation,” page 3-1.)
If the toggle switch is moved to OFF after the pump
dispenses (more than 45 seconds into the cycle, but
before rinse cycles begin) then switched to:
ICE
CLEAN
The “clean” portion of the cycle begins.
After completion of the 10-minute
“Clean” and 6 rinse cycles, the counter
resets and a normal ice-making mode
begins.
A manual clean cycle begins.
(See “Manual Start Operation,” page 3-1.)
After completion of the 10-minute
“Clean” and 6 rinse cycles, the counter
resets and the ice machine awaits a
change in the toggle switch position.
If the toggle switch is moved to OFF after the 6 rinse
cycles have begun and then switched from off to:
ICE
CLEAN
The rinse portion of the cycle restarts and
continues.
After completion of the 6 additional rinse
cycles, the counter resets and a normal
ice-making mode begins.
A manual clean cycle begins.
(See “Manual Start Operation,” page 3-1.)
After completion of the 10-minute
“Clean” and 6 rinse cycles, the counter
resets and the ice machine awaits a
change in the toggle switch position.
