Important
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and
remove chlorine odor and taste.
If yo u are inst alling a Man itowoc w ater filter
system, refer to the Installation Inst ructions
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 water
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, 80 psig (5.5 bar) obtain a
water pressure regulator from your Manitowoc
distributor.
•Install a water shut-off valve for ice making potable
water.
•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.
Part Number 80-01111-9 7/1031
COOLING TOWER APPLICATIONS
!
Caution
Water Cooled Models Only
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 rejected,
and the pressure drop through the condenser and
water valves (inlet to outlet) when using a cooling
tower on an ice machine.
•Water entering the condenser must not exceed
90°F (32.2°C).
•Water flow through the condenser must not
exceed 5 gallons (19 liters) per minute.
•Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psig (.48 bar)
between the condenser water inlet and the outlet
of the ice machine.
•Water exiting the condenser must not exceed
110°F (43.3°C).
Plumbing must conform to state and local codes

Ice Machine Inspection
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.) in front 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.
A commercial grade stainless steel cleaner/polish can
be used as necessary.
Cleaning the Condenser
Disconnect electric powe r to the ice machine a t
the e lectric service s witch before clean ing the
condenser.
If you are clea ning the condenser fan blades with
water, cover the fan motor to prev ent water
damage.
Part Number 80-01111-9 7/1043
AIR-COOLED CONDENSER
! Warning
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.
The conde nser fi ns are sharp. Use care whe n
cleaning them.
1. The washable aluminum filter on self-contained aircooled 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.
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft 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 condenser to check for dirt
between the fins. If dirt remains:
A. Blow compressed air through the condenser fins
from the inside. Be careful not to bend the fan
blades.
B. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow
the directions and cautions supplied with the
cleaner.
4. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
5. 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.
WATER-COOLED CONDENSER AND WATER
REGULATING VALVE
The water-cooled condenser and water regulating valve may
require cleaning due to scale build-up.
Low ice production, high water consumption and high
operating temperatures and pressures all may be symptoms
of restrictions in the condenser water circuit.
Because the cleaning procedures require special pumps and
cleaning solutions, they must be performed by qualified
maintenance or service personnel.

Operation
QM45/Q130/Q170/Q210/Q270
INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1.Pressure Equalization
Before the compressor starts the hot gas valve is
energized for 15 seconds to equalize pressures during
the initial refrigeration system start-up.
2.Refrigeration System Start-up
The compressor starts after the 15-second pressure
equalization, and remains on throughout the entire
Freeze and Harvest Sequences. The hot gas valve
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 relay. As a result, any time the relay 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 starts after the 30-second prechill. An
even flow of water is directed across the evaporator
and into each cube cell, where it freezes.
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 time has been surpassed.
Part Number 80-01111-9 7/1079
HARVEST SEQUENCE
5.Harvest
The water pump de-energizes stopping flow over the
evaporator. The rising level of water in the sump
trough diverts water out of the overflow tube, purging
excess minerals from the sump trough. The hot gas
valve also opens to divert hot refrigerant gas into the
evaporator.
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 contacts
the ice damper, opening the bin switch.
The momentary opening and re-closing of the bin
switch terminates the Harvest Sequence and returns
the ice machine to the Freeze Sequence (steps 3 - 4).
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
6.Automatic Shut-off
When the storage bin is full at the end of a harvest
sequence, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the ice
damper and will hold it down. After the ice damper 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 damper. As the ice damper 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.

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.
FREEZE SEQUENCE
3.Freeze Cycle
The condenser fan motor and water pump are
energized 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.
Part Number 80-01111-9 7/1083
HARVEST SEQUENCE
4.Harvest Cycle
The condenser fan motor and water pump deenergize. 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 (step 3).
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
5.Automatic Shut-off
The level of ice in the ice storage bin controls the ice
machine shut-off. 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 from the bin. This causes the thermostat bulb
holder to warm and close, restarting the ice machine.
When the ice machine restarts, it returns to the startup sequence (steps 1 – 2).

Before the compressor starts, the water pump, water
inlet valve and hot gas valve are energized for about 3
minutes.
2.Refrigeration System Start-up
The compressor starts after the water fill, and remains
on throughout the Freeze and Harvest cycles. The hot
gas valve 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. The condenser fan motor will remain
energized during the entire freeze cycle.
3.Freeze
The water pump sprays water into the inverted cups.
The water freezes layer by layer, until an ice cube
forms in each cup. The control system monitors the
temperature of the refrigeration system liquid line to
determine the length of the freeze cycle.
86Part Number 80-01111-9 7/10
4.Harvest
The water pump de-energizes and the water inlet
valve energizes to assist harvest and refill the water
sump. The hot gas valve opens and the refrigerant gas
warms the evaporator allowing the cubes to release
from the evaporator and drop into the storage bin.
The control system automatically determines:
•Length of time the ice machine will remain in the
harvest cycle
•Whether the condenser fan motor is energized or
de-energized during the harvest cycle
At the end of the harvest cycle the ice machine will
start another freeze cycle (step 3).
5.Automatic Shut-off
The level of ice in the ice storage bin controls the ice
machine shut-off. 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 from the bin. This causes the thermostat bulb
holder to warm and close, restarting the ice machine.
When the ice machine restarts, it returns to the startup sequence (steps 1 – 2).

QM45/Q130/Q170/Q210/Q270
Siphon System
To reduce mineral build-up and cleaning frequency,
the water in the sump trough must be purged during
each harvest cycle.
When the water pump de-energizes the level in the
water trough rises above the standpipe starting a
siphon action. The siphon action stops when the water
level in the sump trough drops. When the siphon
action stops, the float valve refills the water trough to
the correct level.
Follow steps 1 through 6 under water level check to
verify the siphon system functions correctly
Water Level
Check the water level while the ice machine is in the
ice mode and the water pump is running. The correct
water level is 1/4" (6.3 mm) to 3/8" (9.5 mm) below the
top of the standpipe, a line in the water trough
indicates the correct level.
Part Number 80-01111-9 7/1089
Water Level Check
The float valve is factory-set for the proper water level.
If adjustments are necessary:
1. Verify the ice machine is level.
2. Remove the siphon cap from the standpipe.
3. Place the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch to
the ON position, and wait until the float valve
stops adding water.
4. Adjust the water level to [1/4" to 3/8"
(6.3 to 9.5 mm) below the standpipe] the line in
the water trough:
A. Loosen the two screws on the float valve
bracket.
B. Raise or lower the float valve assembly as
necessary, then tighten the screws.
5. Move the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch to
the OFF position. The water level in the trough will
rise above the standpipe and run down the drain.
6. Replace the siphon cap on the standpipe, and
verify water level and siphon action by repeating
steps 3 through 5.
Ice Thickness Check
After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice
storage bin. The ice thickness probe is set to maintain
an ice bridge of 1/8" (3.2 mm). If an adjustment is
needed, follow the steps below.
1. Turn the ice thickness probe adjustment screw

A DIMPLE IN EACH
CUBE CELL IS
NORMAL
QM20/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 QM20/QM30 may
appear to have a slightly larger dimple than other
Manitowoc ice cube machines. Therefore, cube size
for the QM20/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
7 – 9 oz (200 – 270 g). 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 4.
Do not touch electrical wires. Disconnect power to
the ice machin e before makin g any ice th ickness
adjustments.
4. Remove the air filter.
