CVD187528,00042,000
CVD207539,00053,000
B.T.U./Hour
Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle,
the figure shown is an average.
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject
heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the
amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing
air conditioning equipment where self-contained aircooled ice machines are installed.
This information is also necessary when evaluating the
benefits of using water-cooled or CVD® Condensing
Units to reduce air conditioning loads. The amount of
heat added to an air-conditioned environment by a
QuietQube® ice machine head section is negligible.

Electrical Service
GENERAL
Warning
!
All wiring must conform to local, state and national
codes.
VOLTAGE
For both the Ice Machine Head Section and the CVD®
Condensing Unit, the maximum allowable voltage
variation is ±10% of the rated voltage at ice machine
start-up (when the electrical load is highest).
Warning
!
The ice machine and condensing unit must be
grounded in accordance with national and local
electrical codes.
FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER
The ice machine head section and condensing unit are
wired independently from each other.
Ice Machine Head Section
The ice machine head section does not require a
dedicated circuit breaker.
CVD® Condensing Unit
A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for
each condensing unit. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R.
rated (does not apply in Canada).
MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY
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.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERUPTER
Ground Fault Circuit Interupter (GFCI/GFI) 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 us e of a GF CI /G FI
then you must follow the local code. The circuit must be
dedicated, 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 n uisance
trips than panel breakers.

Ice Machine OperationSection 3
Ice Making Sequence of Operation
INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1. Water Purge
Before the refrigeration system starts, the water pump
and water dump solenoid are energized for 45 seconds,
to completely purge the ice machine of old water. This
feature ensures that the ice making cycle starts with
fresh water. The harvest solenoid valves are also
energized during the water purge, although they stay on
for an additional 5 seconds (50 seconds total on time)
then shuts off.
2. Refrigeration System Start-Up
Ice Machine Head Section: The liquid line solenoid
valve energizes after the 45 second water purge and
remains on throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest
Sequences. The harvest solenoid valves remains on for
5 seconds during initial compressor start-up and then
shuts off.
The water fill valve is energized at the same time as the
liquid line solenoid valve.
CVD Condensing Unit: When the refrigerant pressure
is high enough to close the low pressure control, (after
the cool vapor valves energize in step 1) the contactor
coil is energized and the compressor starts. The
compressor and fan cycling control are supplied with
power throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest
Sequences. When the refrigerant pressure is high
enough to close the fan cycling pressure control the
condenser fan motor starts.
FREEZE SEQUENCE
3. Prechill
The liquid line solenoid is energized for 30 seconds prior
to water flow. This allows the refrigeration system to start
up and prechill the evaporator. The water fill valve
remains energized until the water level sensor is
satisfied.
4. Freeze
The water pump restarts after the 30 second Prechill. An
even flow of water is directed across the evaporator and
into each cube cell, where it freezes. The water fill valve
will cycle on one more time to refill the water trough as
needed.
When sufficient ice has formed, the water flow (not the
ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After
approximately 10 seconds of continual water contact,
the Harvest Sequence is initiated. The ice machine
cannot initiate a Harvest Sequence until a 6-minute
freeze lock has been surpassed.
HARVEST SEQUENCE
5. Water Purge
The water pump continues to run, and the water dump
valve energizes for 45 seconds to purge the water in the
sump trough. The water fill valve energizes for the last
15 seconds of the 45 second water purge. After the
45 second water purge, the water pump and dump
solenoid valve de-energize. The harvest solenoids open
at the beginning of water purge.
6. Harvest
The harvest solenoid valves remain open and the
refrigerant warms each evaporator causing the cube s to
slide as a sheet, off the evaporator and into the storage
bin. The ice may fall first from either the right or the left
evaporator, or both at the same time. The sliding sheet
of cubes swings the water curtain out, opening the
corresponding bin switch, which causes relay #5 or #6 to
open. Opening relay #5 or #6 de-energizes the
corresponding harvest solenoid valve for the remainder
of the Harvest Sequence. The momentary opening and
re-closing of both bin switches terminates the Harvest
Sequence and returns the ice machine to the Freeze
Sequence (steps 3-4).
6a. Water Assist Harvest Feature
Typical duration of a harvest sequence is less than 2.5
minutes when the harvest sequence time reaches 4
minutes the following occurs:
4 minutes into a Harvest Sequence. The water fill valve
will energize to fill the trough with water.
5 minutes into a Harvest Sequence. The water pump will
energize and flow water over the evaporators.
The water fill valve and water pump remain on until all
bin switches have been activated, or until the 7 minute
Harvest Sequence time limit is reached.

Section 3Ice Machine Operation
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
7. Automatic Shut-Off
Ice Machine Head Section: When the storage bin is full
at the end of a harvest sequence, the sheet of cubes
fails to clear either one or both water curtains. After one
or both water curtains are held open for 7 seconds the
ice machine shuts off.
CVD Condensing Unit: When the refrigerant pressure
is low enough to open the low-pressure switch, the
contactor coil is de-energized and the compressor and
condenser fan motor stop.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice has been
removed from the storage bin to allow the ice to fall clear
of the water curtain(s). As the water curtain(s) swing
back to the operating position, the bin switch re-closes
and the ice machine restart s (steps 1 - 2) provided the 3
minute delay period is complete. Both curtains must be
closed to start an ice making sequence.

Operational Checks
GENERAL
Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and
adjusted before shipment. Normally , a newly inst alled 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.
Important
CVD2075 Condensing Units
A scroll compressor must be operated for a
minimum break in period of 72 hours before full ice
production capacity will be reached.
WATER LEVEL
ICE THICKNESS CHECK
After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice
storage bin. The ice thickness probe is factory-set to
maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8" (3.2 mm).
NOTE: Make sure the water curtain is in place when
performing this check. It prevents water from splashing
out of the water trough.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should
be about 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase
bridge thickness, counterclockwise to decrease
bridge thickness.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will change
the ice thickness about 1/16" (1.5 mm).
ADJUSTING SCREW
The water level sensor is set to maintain the proper
water level above the water pump housing. The water
level is not adjustable.
If the water level is incorrect, check the water level probe
for damage (probe bent, etc.). Repair or replace the
probe as necessary.

ADDITIONAL COMPONENT REMOVAL
The following components may be removed for easier
access in some installations or they may need to be
removed and cleaned to correct an operational problem.
NOTE: At this point, the water dump valve can easily be
cleaned. If complete removal is desired, continue with
step 4.
Water Dump Valve
The water dump valve normally does not require
removal for cleaning. To determine if removal is
necessary:
1. Set the toggle switch to ICE.
2. Verify the water trough fills with water at the
beginning of the freeze cycle.
3. While the ice machine is in the freeze mode, check
the drain to determine if the dump valve is leaking. If
there is water exiting the ice machine through th e
drain during the freeze cycle the dump valve is
leaking.
A. If the dump valve is leaking, remove,
disassemble and clean it.
B. If the dump valve is not leaking, do not remove
it. Instead, follow the “Ice Machine Cleaning
Procedure”.
Follow this procedure to remove the dump valve.
!
Warning
Disconnect the electric power to the ice machine at
the electric service switch box and turn off the water
supply before proceeding.
NOTE: During cleaning, do not stretch or damage the
spring.
4. Remove the tubing from the dump valve by twisting
the clamps off.
5. Twist the valve body to remove from mounting
bracket.

Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve normally does not require removal
for cleaning. Refer to Section 5 for a list of causes for
“No Water Entering Water Trou gh” or “Water Overflows
Water Trough.
1. When the ice machine is off, the water inlet valve
must completely stop water flow into the machine.
2. When the ice machine is on, the water inlet valve
must allow the proper water flow through it. Set the
toggle switch to ON. Watch for water flow into the ice
machine. If the water flow is slow or only trickles into
the ice machine, refer to Section 5.
Follow the procedure below to remove the water inlet
valve.
!
Warning
Disconnect the electric power to the ice machine
and dispenser at the electric service switch box and
turn off the water supply before proceeding.
1. Remove the 1/4” hex head screws.
2. Remove, clean, and install the filter screen.
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.) on the sides or back 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. Use cleaners designed for use with stainless
steel products.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They
will scratch the panels.

Cleaning the Condenser
GENERAL
!
Warning
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine head
section and the remote condensing unit at the
electric service switches before cleaning the
condenser.
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.
!
Warning
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when
cleaning them.
Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for dirt
between the fins. To remove dirt:
A. Blow compressed air or rinse with water from
the inside out (opposite direction of airflow). Be
careful not to bend the fan blades.
B. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner if
required to remove dirt/grease. Follow the
directions and cautions supplied with the
cleaner.
C. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin
comb.

or below.
Caution
!
If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine in
freezing temperatures, severe damage to some
components could result. Damage of this nature is
not covered by the warranty.
Follow the procedure below.
1. Move the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker
or the electric service switch.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Remove the water from the water trough.
5. Disconnect and drain the incoming ice-making water
line at the rear of the ice machine.
6. Energize the ice machine and wait one minute for
the water inlet valve to open.
7. Blow compressed air in both the incoming water and
the drain openings in the rear of the ice machine
until no more water comes out of the inlet water lines
or the drain.
8. Make sure water is not trapped in any of the water
lines, drain lines, distribution tubes, etc.
9. “Frontseat” (shut off) the receiver service valves.
Hang a tag on the switch as a reminder to open the
valves before restarting.

Safety Limit Feature
In addition to the standard safety controls, such as the
high pressure cutout, your Manitowoc ice machine
features built-in safety limits which will stop the ice
machine if conditions arise which could cause a major
component failure.
Before calling for service, re-start the ice machine using
the following procedure:
1. Move the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF and then
back to ICE.
A. If the safety limit feature has stopped the ice
machine, it will restart after a short delay.
Proceed to step 2.
B. If the ice machine does not restart, see “Ice
machine does not operate” on the previous
page.
2. Allow the ice machine to run to determine if the
condition is recurring.
A. If the ice machine stops again, the condition has
recurred. Call for service.
B. If the ice machine continues to run, the condition
has corrected itself. Allow the ice machine to
continue running.
SAFETY LIMIT STAND-BY MODE
The first time a safety limit shut down occurs, the ice
machine turns off for 60 minutes (Stand-By Mode). The
ice machine will then automatically restart to see if the
problem re-occurs. During the Stand-By Mode the
harvest light will be flashing continuously and a safety
limit indication can be viewed. If the same safety limit is
reached a second time (the problem has re-occurred)
the ice machine will initiate a safety limit shut down and
remain off until it is manually restarted. During a safety
limit shut down the harvest light will be flashing
continuously.
SAFETY LIMITS
Safety Limit #1
If the freeze time reaches 60 minutes, the control board
automatically initiates a harvest cycle. If three
consecutive 60 minute freeze cycle occur, the ice
machine stops.
Safety Limit #2
If the harvest time reaches 3.5 minutes, the control
board automatically returns the ice machine to the
freeze cycle. If three consecutive 3.5 minute harvest
cycles occur, the ice machine stops.
