Installation
Location of Ice Machine
The location selected for the ice machine must meet
the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not
met, select another location.
• The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The location must be capable of supporting the
weight of the ice machine and a full bin of ice.
• The location must allow enough clearance for
water, drain and electrical connections in the rear
of the ice machine.
• The location must not obstruct airflow through or
around the ice machine.
Installation Requirements
• The air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C),
but must not exceed 110°F (43°C).
• The water temperature must be at least 40°F
(4°C), but must not exceed 90°F (32°C).
• The ice machine and bin must be level.
• Vent the ice machine and bin drains separately.
• Bin drain termination must have an air gap.
• RF Models Only: A backflow preventer is required
on water inlet lines.
• Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures
outlined in this manual are not covered by the
warranty.
Part Number 000007661 7/10 9
Potable Water Requirements
• Plumbing must conform to local codes.
• 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 maximum pressure
(70 psig [483 kPa] RN1000; 80 psig [552 kPa] for
all other models) obtain a water pressure regulator
from your Manitowoc distributor.
• A water shut-off valve is required to clean the ice
machine.
• A union for both the ice making and condenser
water lines is required.
• Water inlet lines require insulation to prevent
condensation.
• RF Models: A backflow preventer is required on
water inlet lines.
Drain Connections
• 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.
• Separate insulated bin and water-cooled
condenser drain lines are required.
• The bin and ice machine drains require a vent.

Cooling Tower Applications (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 rejection,
and 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 be lower
than 37°F (3°C) or exceed 90°F (32°C).
• Water flow through the condenser must not
exceed 5 gal. (19 L) 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 not exceed
110°F (43°C).

CLEANING THE CONDENSER
!
Warning
!
Warning
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electric service switch before cleaning the
condenser. The condenser fins are sharp. Use care
when cleaning them.
Air-Cooled Condenser
Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow
the steps below.
1. Some models have a washable aluminum filter.
Clean the filter with a mild soap and water
solution.
2. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins. Blow compressed air
through the condenser fins from the inside or use
a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow the
directions and cautions supplied with the cleaner.
3. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin
comb.
4. 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.
If you are cleaning the condenser fan blades with
water, cover the fan motor to prevent water damage.

Removal from Service/Winterization
!
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. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit
breaker or the electric service switch.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Disconnect and drain the incoming ice-making
water line at the rear of the ice machine.
4. Disconnect drain tubing and drain water into
container and discard.
5. Make sure water is not trapped in any of the water
or drain lines.
6. Water cooled - Use compressed air to remove all
water from the condenser.

Operation
Ice Making Sequence of Operation
NOTE: Flake ice machines use an auger to remove
ice from the evaporator. Occasional noises (creaks,
groans, squeaks, or pops) are a normal part of the ice
making process.
SELF-CONTAINED AIR-COOLED RF0244/RF0266/RF0385/RF0388/RF0399
When the toggle switch is placed in the “ON” position
the following controls must be in the closed position
before the ice machine will start:
A. Bin Thermostat
B. Low Evaporator Temperature Thermostat
C. Low Water Level Switch
Placing the toggle switch in the ON position starts the
gear motor and refrigeration system. The float valve
controls the water inlet valve and water level. The
freeze cycle ends when ice contacts the bin
thermostat. The ice machine w ill restart when ice no
longer contacts the bin thermostat.
SELF-CONTAINED AIR-COOLED RF0300
When the toggle switch is placed in the “ON” position
the following controls must be in the closed position
before the ice machine will start:
A. Bin Thermostat
B. Low Evaporator Temperature Thermostat
C. Ice Chute Safety Switch
D. Low Water Level Switch
Placing the toggle switch in the ON position starts the
gear motor and a 10 minute compressor time delay.
The compressor starts and the float valve controls the
water inlet valve and water level. The freeze cycle
ends when ice contacts the bin thermostat. The ice
machine remains off until ice no longer contacts the
bin thermostat.

SELF-CONTAINED AIR-COOLED RF0650/RF1200/RF2300
When the toggle switch is placed in the ON position
the following controls must be in the closed position
before the ice machine will start:
A. Bin Thermostat
B. High Pressure Cut-out Switch
C. Ice Chute Safety Switch
D. Low Pressure Switch
E. Low Water Level Switch
Placing the toggle switch in the ON position starts the
gear motor. After the rotation speed sensor verifies
10 minutes of correct rotation the time delay ends and
the compressor starts.The ice machine will continue to
make ice until ice contacts the bin thermostat. The ice
machine remains off until ice no longer contacts the
bin thermostat.

NOTE: Ice machines use an auger to remove ice from
the evaporator. Occasional noises (creaks, groans,
squeaks, or pops) are a normal part of the ice making
process.
Operation
The ice machine will not start until:
A. The compressor rocker switch is moved to
“ON”.
B. Ice does not contact the bin thermostat bulb.
C. The water reservoir is full of water.
With power supplied and the compressor rocker
switch in the ON position, the gear motor and
refrigeration system start. The float valve controls the
water inlet valve and water level. The freeze cycle
ends when ice contacts the bin thermostat. A
20 minute delay period initiates. The ice machine will
restart when ice no longer contacts the bin thermostat
and the 20 minute delay period expires.
