VOLTAGE
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±1 0% of the rated voltage on the ice machine model/serial number plate at start-up (when the electrical load is highest).
GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER CIRCUIT (GFIC)
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protection is a system that shuts down the electric circuit (opens it) when it senses an unexpected loss of power, presumably to ground. Manitowoc Ice, Inc. does not recommend the use of a GFCI/GFI circuit protection with our equipment. If code requires the use of a GFCI/GFI then you must follow the local code. The circuit must be dedicated (accept QuietQubes), sized properly and there must be a panel GFCI/GFI breaker. We do not recommend GFCI/ GFI outlets as they are known for more intermittent nuisance trips than panel breakers.
FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER
A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for each ice machine. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R. rated (does not apply in Canada).
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
TOTAL CIRCUIT AMPACITY QF400 Only
The total circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply.
The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.
MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY QC700/QF800/QF2300 Only
The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity is not the ice machine’s running amp load.) The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.

Water Supply and Drains
POTABLE WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and remove chlorine odor and taste.
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.
POTABLE 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 (80 psig
551.5 kPA) recommended pressure, obtain a water pressure regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
Install a water shut-off valve and union 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 water-cooled condenser drain lines. Insulate them to prevent condensation.
Vent the bin and ice machine drain to the atmosphere. The ice machine drain requires an 18” vent. Do not vent the condenser drain on water­cooled models.
Drains must have a union or other suitable means to allow in place disconnection from the ice machine when servicing is required.
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 rejectio n, 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 condenser must not exceed 90°F (32.2°C).
Water flow through the con denser must not exceed 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 no exceed 110°F (43.3°C).
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that all water-cooled models must be connected only to a closed loop, cooling tower system.

Refrigeration Line Set Installation
GENERAL
Refrigeration line set installations consist of vertical and horizontal line set distances between the ice machine and the condensing unit. The following guidelines, drawings and calculation methods must be followed to assure proper oil return and condensing unit/ice machine operation.
The refrigeration line set installer must be USA Government-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified in proper refrigerant handling and servicing procedures.
Disconnect electrical power to the ice machine head section and the remote condensing unit before proceeding.
The ice machine head section contains refrigerant charge. The ice machine he ad sectio n contains thre e (3) refrigeration valves that must remain closed until proper installation of the line set is completed.
Step 1 Verify Ice Machine and Remote Condensing
Unit Locations Are Within Guidelines.
Prior to installation of the ice machine and remote condensing unit be sure that the distance between then is within the line set routing guidelines outlined in this manual.
Roof/Wall Penetration
If required, cut a 3-inch (76.2 mm) circular hole in the wall or roof for routing of refrigeration tubing. A qualified person must perform all roof penetra tio ns .
A. LINE SET LENGTH 100 feet (30.5 m) Length: The maximum measured
length the line set can be. The receiver is designed to hold a charge 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 feet (30.5 m).
The ice machines will not function with line sets greater than 100 feet (30.5 m). Do not attempt to go beyond this distance and add refrigerant charge to compensate!
B. LINE SET RISE OR DROP
35 feet (10.7 m) Rise: The maximum distance the
remote condensing unit can be above the ice machine.
Step 2 Route Refrigeration Tubing
Properly route refrigeration tubing between the ice machine head section and the remote condensing unit.

C. SUCTION LINE OIL TRAPS
Do not form unwanted traps in refrigeration lines. Never coil excess refrigeration tubing.
0 to 20 feet (0 to 6.1 m) Rise: The ice machine head section has one oil trap built in which allows for a maximum condenser rise of 20 feet (6.1 m) without additional traps in the suction line.
21 to 35 feet (6.4 to 10.7 m) Rise: The suction line requires an additional Oil Trap (“S” type) to be installed. Install the trap as close as possible to midpoint between the ice machine head section and remote cond en sin g unit. S-Trap Kits are available from Manitowoc (refer to chart).
Service Loop
A service loop in the line set permits easy access to the ice machine for cleaning and service.
The supplied service loop is an installation requirement.
A service loop is not considered an oil trap.
The service loop is not included when calculating length, rise or drop of the tubing run.
Do not use hard rigid copper for the service loop.
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.
Step 3 Lengthening or Reducing Line Set Lengths
Do not form unwanted traps in refrigeration lines. Never coil excess refrigeration tubing.
When the line set required shortening or lengthening, do so before connecting the line set to the ice machine head section or the remote condensing unit.

Step 4 Connecting the line set.
To prevent oxidation of the copper, purge line set and condensing unit with dry nitrogen while brazing.
Connect The Line Set To The Ice Machine Head Section
The ice machine head section contains refrigerant charge. The ice machine he ad sectio n contains thre e (3) refrigeration valves that must remain closed until proper installation of the line sets is completed.
The line set shut off valves at the back of the ice machine must remain closed and be protected from heat during the brazing process. Wrap the valves in a wet rag or other type of heat sink prior to brazing. Cool braze joint with water immediately after brazing to pr event heat migration to the valve.
Connect The Line Set To The Remote Condensing Unit
The compressor oil rapidly absorbs moisture. Be prepared to complete line set installation and start your
evacuation process in order to minimize the time the compressor is exposed to the atmosphere. (Maximum amount of time the system can be exposed to the atmosphere is 15 minutes).
The line set can be routed for entry through the front or left side of the condensing unit.
Remove knockout for preferred location.
Insert supplied plastic bushings in knockout holes to prevent tubing from contacting sheet metal.
Use the supplied 90° elbows to route tubing.
Cut the tubing ends of the suction and liquid lines and braze the line sets to the condensing unit.
The condensing unit ships from the factory pressurized with a 50/50 mixture of nitrogen/helium. Bleed off pressure from both suction and liquid line access ports prior to cutting into refrigeration lines.

Step 5 Pressure Test and Evacuate The Line Set
and Remote Condensing Unit
Schrader valve core removal tools that allow for removal and installation of the valve cores without removing manifold gauge set hoses are recommended to decrease the evacuation time.
Leave the line set shut off valves closed (front seated). Pressure test the line sets and remote condensing unit with 150 psig of dry nitrogen. Add nitrogen at the line set shut off valves located at the back of the ice machine. Complete the pressure test, verify no leaks are present and remove the nitrogen from the system before connecting the vacuum pump. Connect a vacuum pump to both of the line set shut off valves located at the back of the ice machine head section. Evacuate to 250 microns (or less). To completely evacuate the Remote condensing unit, continue the evacuation for 30 minutes after reaching the 500 micron point.

NOTE: Y ou will not hear refrigerant flow when the valves are opened. Refrigerant will not flow until the toggle switch is placed in the ice position and the liquid line solenoid valve opens.
If required, the line set and condensing unit can be evacuated from the schrader valves located in the remote condensing unit. Schrader valve core removal tools (that allow for putting the cores back in without removing vacuum pump hoses) must be us ed if evacuating from the condensing unit side.
Isolate the vacuum pump from the line set shut off valves and/or condensing unit access ports prior to proceeding. Open refrigeration system shut off valves.
The suction line, liquid line and receiver service valves are closed during shipment and installation.
OPEN SUCTION AND LIQUID LINE SHUT OFF VALVES
After opening suction, discharge and receiver service valves, refrigerant pressure will not be detected until the toggle switch is placed in the ICE position and the liquid line solenoid valve energizes.
Verify O-ring in schrader valve caps are intact and reinstall on shut off valves to prevent refrigerant leakage.

Open Receiver Service Valve
There is a liquid line solenoid valve at the outlet of the receiver; refrigerant will not flow to the condensing unit until the ice machine head section is started. Connect power to both the ice machine head section and the Remote condensing unit. Place the ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch into the ICE position, this will allow refrigerant to enter the line set and condensing unit.
All refrigeration valve caps must be reinstalled to prevent future refrigeration leaks.
Step 7 Leak Check The Refrigeration System
Leak check the new line set connections at the ice machine head section, condensing unit and S trap as well as all factory joints throughout the entire system. Disconnect power to the remote condensing unit. Place the ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch into the ICE position. This allows the low side and high side pressures to equalize. Place the ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch in the OFF position. Connect power to the remote condensing unit and allow system to pump down.
Step 8 Insulation Requirements
To prevent condensation the entire suctio n line including the shut-off valve must be insulated. All insulation must be airtight and sealed at both ends.
The following insulation requirements prevent condensation at 90°F (32.2°C) ambient 70% Relative Humidity. If higher humidity is expected, increase insulation thickness.
The entire line set, including the suction service valve located on the back of the ice machine requires:

Operational Checks
GENERAL
Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally , a newly installed ice machine does 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 maintenanc e
procedures outlined in this manual are not covered by the warranty.
WATER LEVEL CHECK
The float valve maintains the correct water level. The water level must allow the water level probes to maintain water contact throughout the freeze cycle. The water level is factory set and normally will not require adjustment. Check the water level during the freeze cycle. The water level is correct if the water level indicator light is energized (compressor is running) and no water is entering the overflow tube. (Check for overflow water exiting the ice machine drain line at the floor drain).
If adjustments are necessary:
A. Rotate float clockwise to increase water level B. Rotate float counterclockwise to decrease water
level
C. Verify the outlet for the water float valve is at a
20 to 30 degree angle to prevent contact with the float.

CLEANING THE CONDENSER
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and the remote condenser at the electric service switch before cleaning the condenser.
Air-Cooled Condenser
(SELF-CONTAINED AND REMOTE MODELS) 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 condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning them.
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.
3. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains:
A. Blow compressed air through the condenser fin s
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.
Self-Contained Air-Cooled Filter
2. Clean the outside of the condenser (bottom of a remote 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.

Ice Machine Operation Section 3
MANITOWOC’S CLEANING TECHNOLOGY
Manitowoc Flake/Chiplet 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 of all surfaces that come in contact with the water distribution system. Periodic maintenance must be performed that includes sanitizing the bin and adjacent surface areas, which are not contacted by the wate r distribution system.
Depending on local water conditions Manitowoc recommends initiating preventative maintenance cleaning procedures between the 6 month cleanings.
This preventive maintenance removes mineral build-up from the evaporator, which results in peak efficiency and lower operating costs.
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/sanitizing procedure for complete details.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING PROCEDURE QC700/QF800/QF2300
Use Ice machine cleaner part number 000000084 only.This cleaner is used to remove lime scale or other mineral deposits. It is not used to remove algae or slime. Refer to “Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedure” for removal of algae and slime. To initiate a cleaning cycle using Manitowoc’s Cleaning Technology use the following procedure.
Step 1 Remove front and top covers and set the toggle switch to the OFF position.
Step 2 T o st art a cleaning cycle, move the toggle switch to the CLEAN position. Water will flow through the water dump valve and down the drain. The flush, gear motor, speed, dump valve and water solenoid lights will energize to indicate the ice machine is in the clean mode.
Step 3 Remove the 1 1/2” yellow plug from the top cover of the water reservoir. Wait about one minute or until the dump valve light de-energizes, then add the proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner and re-install plug.
Step 4 .The ice machine will automatically time out four flush and rinse cycles, and then stop. The flush light remains energized until the toggle switch is moved to the OFF position. This entire cycle lasts approximately 11 minutes.

Ice Machine Sequence of Operation
PRIOR TO START-UP
When the toggle switch is placed in the “ice” position the following must occur prior to starting an ice making cycle.
A. The bin level probe must be open (bin level
light off). If the probe is closed, (bin level light on) when the toggle switch is moved to ICE, the control system waits until the bin level probe opens, (bin level light off) before starting an ice making sequence. If the bin level probe is removed/disconnected the ice machine will not start.
B. The water level probe must be closed (water
level light on) to start the compressor. If the water level probe is open, (water level light off) the control system waits until the water level probe closes before starting the compressor.
INITIAL START-UP 1A. Flush
Immediately after placing the toggle switch into ICE, the dump valve solenoid, and gearbox are energized. After 45 seconds the dump valve de-energizes.
1B. Water Fill
After 45 seconds the water float valve solenoid is energized.
2. Freeze Cycle
When water contacts the water level probe, the compressor and condenser fan motor energize (condenser fan motor is wired through a fan cycling control).
The gear motor, compressor, condenser fan motor and water float valve solenoid remain energized as the ice machine makes ice. The water float valve will open and close automatically to maintain the proper water level.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF 3A. Ice Run Out
Ice will build up in the bin until it contacts the bin level probe. After ice contacts the bin level probe for 30 continuous seconds the compressor de-energizes. To allow excess ice to run out, the gear motor and th e water float valve solenoid remain energized for an additional 45 seconds, then de-energize.
3B. Water Drain
To allow water to drain from the evaporator, the dump valve energizes for 90 seconds, then de-energizes.
An 8-minute lockout starts when the compressor de­energizes. When the ice drops away from the bin level probe the ice machine will begin an initial start-up cycle, provided the “8-minute lockout” has expired.
8 Minute Lockout
The bin level light will flash until the 8-minute lockout expires.
After the 8 minute lockout expires the bin level light will de-energize.
The 8 minute lockout time can be overridden by moving the ON/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch from ICE to OFF then back to ICE.
FLUSH SEQUENCE IN THE “ICE” POSITION
After the ice machine has run for 100 hours the ice machine will stop making ice and perform a flush sequence. The flush sequence will remove minerals that have settled in the bottom of the evaporator. The entire flush sequence lasts approximately 11 minutes, after which the ice machine automatically resumes ice making and the 100 hour counter in the control board resets to zero.
NOTE: Flake ice machines use an auger to remove ice from the evaporator . Occasional noises (creaks, groa ns, or pops) are a normal part of the ice making process.

1B. Water Fill
After 45 seconds the water float valve solenoid is energized.
2. Freeze Cycle
When water contacts the wate r level probe the liquid line solenoid valve, equalization valve, compressor and condenser fan motor energize (condenser fan motor is wired through a fan cycling control).
The gear motor, compressor, condenser fan motor and water float valve solenoid remain energized as the ice machine makes ice. The water float valve will open and close automatically to maintain the proper water level.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF 3A. Ice Run Out
Ice will build up in the bin until it contacts the bin level probe. After ice contacts the bin level probe for 30 continuous seconds the liquid line solenoid valve, equalization valve and compressor de-energizes.

Analyzing Why SafeGuards May Stop the Ice Machine
According to the refrigeration industry , a high percentage of compressor failure are the result of external causes. These can include flooding or starving expan sion valves, dirty condensers, water loss to the ice machine, etc. SafeGuards protect the ice machine (primarily the compressor) from external failures by stopping ice machine operation before major component damage occurs.
Refrigeration and electrical component failures may also trip a safeguard. Eliminate all electrical component s and external causes first. If it appears that the refrigeration system is causing the problem, use the charts, checklists, and other references to determine the cause.
NOTE: The following checklists are designed to assist the service technician in analysis. However, because there are many possible external problem s, do not limit your diagnosis to only the items listed.
SAFEGUARD MODES No Water
During the Freeze cycle if the water level prob e opens or remains open for more than 30* continuous seconds, the ice machine will de-energize the compressor and gear motor, continuously flash the water level light and initiate a 60 minute Standby Mode.
During the Standby Mode the water level light will continually flash to indicate a Standby Mode.
After the 60 -minute Standby Mode, the ice machine will de-energize the water level light and initiate a start-up sequence.
WATER CONTACTS THE WATER LEVEL PROBE: The ice machine continues to make ice. WATER LEVEL PROBE OPENS OR REMAINS OPEN
FOR MORE THAN 90 CONTINUOUS SECONDS: The ice machine will start another 60-minute Standby
Mode. The ice machine repeats the above sequence until: Water contacts the water level probe
or
The toggle switch is moved to the OFF position. *Note: There are two control boards, early version
boards must remain open for 90 seconds before de­energizing.
