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.

Section 3 Ice Machine Operation

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.
3-1
Page 22
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.
