Caution
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 air temperature must be at least 45°F (7°C), but must
not exceed 110°F (43°C).
•The water temperature must be at least 45°F (7°C), but
must not exceed 90°F (32°C).
•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.
•RFC Condensing Units ONLY - Interconnecting wiring
(1 15/60/1 or 230/50/1) is required between the ice machine
and condensing unit to energize the contactor coil.

The ice machine head section must be protected if it will
be subjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Failure
caused by exposure to freezing temperatures is not
covered by the warranty. See “Removal from Service/
Winterization”.
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 air-cooled ice machines are
installed.
This information is also necessary when evaluating the
benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to reduce
air conditioning loads. The amount of heat added to an air
conditioned environment by an ice machine using a watercooled or remote condenser is negligible.
Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important when
sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled condenser. Use the
peak figure for sizing the cooling tower.

Installing on a Storage Bin
LEVELING THE ICE STORAGE BIN
1. Screw the leveling legs onto the bottom of the bin.
2. Screw the foot of each leg in as far as possible.
The legs must be screwed in tightly to prevent them
from bending.
3. Move the bin into its final position.
4. Level the bin to assure that the bin door closes and
seals properly. Use a level on top of the bin. Turn
each foot as necessary to level the bin.
5. Inspect bin gasket prior to ice machine installation.
(Manitowoc bins come with closed cell foam gasket
installed along the top surface of the bin.)
6. Install ice machine on bin.
Installing on a Dispenser
Nugget ice is soft and chewable. This characteristic
makes this ice more difficult to dispense. All dispenser
manufacturers require a kit be installed for Nugget type
ice. Contact the dispenser manufacturer for the correct
adapter and nugget dispensing kit for your specific
model dispenser . Th e requir ed kit can var y by dispen ser
size from the same manufacturer.
Failure to install the correct kit and make the necessary
modifications on the dispenser will result in:
•Congealed ice which will not dispense and will
damage the ice machine and dispenser
•Insufficient ice contact with the cold plate which will
result in an inferior product
•A safety issue if ice lifts the adapter or ice machine
NUGGET DISPENSING KIT INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
1. Follow the dispenser manufacturers instructions for
installation of the adapter (if required) and nugget
ice kit.
2. Make all necessary beverage, electrical and drain
connections to the dispenser.

3. Level the dispenser front to back and side to side.
4. Install ice machine on dispenser and secure ice
machine, dispenser and adapter with provided
brackets.
5. Complete water, drain and electrical connections to
the ice machine.
PERSONAL INJURY POTENTIAL
The ice machine and adapter must be attached to
the dispenser to prevent the ice machine from
falling.
Ice machines in low volume locations may
experience congealing. Thermostat kit K00364
must be added in these locations to prevent

Electrical Service
RFC Condensing Units: Energize the head
section before the condensing unit. This allows the
system pressure to equalize prior to energizing the
condensing unit. Energizing the compressor while
in a vacuum may cause immediate compressor
failure.
All wiring must conform to local, state and national
codes.
VOLTAGE
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±1 0% of the
rated voltage at ice machine star t-up (when the electrical
load is highest).
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance
with national and local electrical codes.
All electrical work, including wire routing and grounding,
must conform to local, state and national electrical
codes. The following precautions must be observed:
•The ice machine must be grounded.
•A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for
each ice machine.
•A qualified electrician must determine proper wire
size dependent upon location, materials used and
length of run (minimum circuit ampacity can be used
to help select the wire size).
•The maximum allowable voltage variation is +/-10 of
the rated voltage at ice machine start-up (when the
electrical load is highest).
•Check all green ground screws in the control box and
verify they are tight before starting the ice machine.
Observe correct polarity of incoming line voltage.
Incorrect polarity can lead to erratic ice machine
operation and a safety issue. This is especially cr itical on
230 volt / 50 cycle ice machines.
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).
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

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
5.52 bar) recommended pressure, obtain a water
pressure regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
•Install a water sh ut-off valve and union for both the
ice making and condenser water lines.
•Insulate water inlet lin es 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 o r 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°C).
•W ater flow through the condenser must n ot exceed 5
gallons (19 liters) per minute.
•Allow for a pressure drop of 7 ps i (0.48 bar) between
the condenser water inlet and the outlet of the ice
machine.
•Water exiting the condenser must not exceed 110°F
(43°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
Traditional Remote Ice Machines Only
GENERAL
Condensers must be mounted horizontally with the fan
motor on top.
Remote condenser installations consist of vertical and
horizontal line sets between the ice machine and the
condenser. When co mbined, they must fit within
approved specifications. The following guidelines,
drawings and calculation methods must be followed to
verify a proper remote condenser installation.
The 60 month compressor warranty (including the
24 month labor replacement warranty) will not apply
if the remote ice machine is not installed according
to specifications.
This warranty also will not apply if the refrigeration
system is modified with a condenser, heat reclaim
device, or other parts or assemblies not
manufactured by Manitowoc Ice, Inc., unless
specifically approved in writing by Manitowoc Ice,
Inc.
GUIDELINES FOR ROUTING LINE SETS
First, cut a 2.5" (6.35 cm) circular hole in the wall or ro of
for tubing routing. The line set end with the 90° bend will
connect to the ice machine. The straight end will connect
to the remote condenser.
Follow these guidelines when routing the refrigerant
lines. This will help insure proper performance and
service accessibility.
1. Optional - Make the service loop in the line sets (as
shown below). This permits easy access to the ice
machine for cleaning and service. Do not use hard
rigid copper at this location.
2. Required - Do not form traps in the refrigeration lines
(except the service loop). Refrigerant oil must be
free to drain toward the ice machine or the
condenser. Route excess tubing in a supported
downward horizontal spiral (as shown below). Do
not coil tubing vertically.
3. Required - Keep outdoor refrigerant line runs as
short as possible.
The maximum length is 100' (30.5 m).
The ice machine compressor must have the proper oil
return. The receiver is designed to hold a char ge
sufficient to operate the ice machine in ambient
temperatures between -20°F (-29°C) and 120°F (49°C),
with line set lengths of up to 100' (30.5 m).
Line Set Rise/Drop
The maximum rise is 35' (10.7 m).
The maximum drop is 15' (4.5 m).
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.
Calculated Line Set Distance
The maximum calculated distance is 150' (45.7 m).
Line set rises, drops, horizontal ru ns (or combinations of
these) in excess of the stated maximums will exceed
compressor start-up and design limits. This will cause
poor oil return to the compressor.
Make the following calculations to make sure the line set
layout is within specifications.
1. Insert the measured rise into the formula below.
Multiply by 1.7 to get the calculated rise.
(Example: A condenser located 10 feet above the
ice machine has a calculated rise of 17 feet.)
2. Insert the measured drop into the formula below.
Multiply by 6.6 to get the calculated drop.
(Example. A condenser located 10 feet below the
ice machine has a calculated drop of 66 feet.)
3. Insert the measured horizontal distance into the
formula below. No calculation is necessary.
4. Add together the calculated rise, calculated drop,
and horizont al distance to get the total calculated distance. If this total exceeds 150' (45.7 m), move
the condenser to a new location and perform the
calculations again.
Step 1.Measured Rise (35' [10.7 m] Maximum)______ x 1.7=_______ Calculated Rise
Step 2.Measured Drop (15' [4.5 m] Maximum)______ x 6.6=_______ Calculated Drop

LENGTHENING OR REDUCING LINE SET LENGTHS
In most cases, by routing the line set properly,
shortening will not be necessary. When shortening or
lengthening is required, do so before connecting the line
set to the ice machine or the remote condenser. This
prevents the loss of refrigerant in the ice machine or
condenser.
The quick connect fittings on the line sets are equipped
with Schraeder valves. Use these valves to recover any
vapor charge from the line set. When lengthening or
shortening lines follow good refrigeration practices,
purge with nitrogen and insulate all tubing. Do not
change the tube sizes. Evacuate the lines and place
about 5 oz (143g) of vapor refrigerant charge in each
line.
CONNECTING A LINE SET
1. Remove the dust caps from the line set, condenser
and ice machine.
2. Apply refrigeration oil to the threads on the quick
disconnect couplers before connecting them to the
condenser.
3. Carefully thread the female fitting to the condenser
or ice machine by hand.
4. Tighten the couplings with a wrench until they
bottom out.

Refrigeration Line Set Installation
Remote Condensing Unit Only
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 remote 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.
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.
Disconnect electrical power to the ice machine head
section and remote condensing unit before
proceeding.
A. LINE SET LENGTH
100 feet (30.5 m) Length: The maximum measured

Section 3Operation
Sequence of Operation
PRIOR TO STARTUP
When the toggle switch is placed in the ICE position the
following must occur in the listed order before ice
making will start.
•The 5 minute delay period must be expired. The
delay period starts upon application of power.
•The ice chute damper must be in th e closed or do wn
position.
•The water sensing switch must be closed (water
reservoir full of water and water sensing float in the
up position).
1. Initial Startup - The ice machine is plugged in
and the toggle switch is moved to ice.
A 5 minute delay period must expire. The delay period
starts to time out upon application of power and can not
be overridden. When the five minute delay period
expires, the gear motor energizes. The water in the
reservoir closes the water sensing (float) switch and the
compressor and condenser fan motor energize.
2. Freeze Cycle
The float valve automatically maintains the water level in
the reservoir. The ice damper will open and close to
verify ice production. The ice machine will continue to
make ice until the ice damper is held open (up) as ice
fills the bin.
3. Automatic Shutoff
RESTART AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
The 5 minute delay period must be expired. The delay
period starts when the ice machine enters Automatic
Shutoff and can not be overridden.
1. The ice machine was off for less than 30
minutes.
When the five minute delay period expires the gear
motor, compressor and condenser fan motor energize.
2. The ice machine was off for more than 30
minutes.
The gear motor and dump valve energize to drain the
water from the evaporator and reservoir. After 30
seconds the dump valve de-energizes. When the
reservoir fills with water, the water sensing switch closes
and the compressor and condenser fan motor energize.
CHANGING TOGGLE SWITCH POSITION IN THE
FREEZE CYCLE
Moving the toggle switch from ICE to OFF will start a 5
minute delay period.
•Moving the toggle switch immediately to the ICE
position - The ice machine waits 5 minutes, then
initiates a Restart After Automatic Shutoff cycle.
•Moving the toggle switch to the ICE position after 5
minutes have elapsed - The ice machine immediatel y
initiates a Restart After Automatic Shutoff cycle.
When the ice damper is held open by ice, the gearmotor,
compressor and condenser fan de-energize. The five
minute delay period starts to time out. The ice machine
will remain off until the 5 minute delay period expires and
the ice damper closes.

Manitowoc’s Cleaning Technology
Manitowoc Flake/Nugget Ice Machines include
technology that allows the initiation and completion of a
cleaning 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
water distribution system.
Depending on local water conditions Manitowoc
recommends initiating preventative maintenance
cleaning procedures between the 6 month cleanings.
This preventive maintenance removes mi n era l build -u p
from the evaporator, which results in peak efficiency and
lower operating costs.
This technology allows initiation and completion of a
clean cycle, after which the ice machine automatically
starts ice making again.
This Manitowoc Ice Machine has three separate
cleaning procedures.
Preventative Maintenance Cleaning Procedure
Perform this procedure as required for your water
conditions. Recommended monthly.
•Allows cleaning the ice machine without removing all
of the ice from the bin
•Removes mineral deposits from areas or surfaces
that are in direct contact with water during the freeze
cycle (reservoir, evaporator, auger, drain lines).
Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedure
This procedure must be performed a minimum of once
every six months.
•All ice must be removed from the bin
•The ice machine and bin must be disassembled
cleaned and sanitized
•The ice machine produce s ice with the cleaner and
sanitizer solutions
•All ice produced during the cleaning and sanitizing
procedures must be discarded
Heavily Scaled Cleaning Procedure
Perform this procedure if you have some or all of these
symptoms.
•Grinding, popping or squealing noises from the
evaporator
•Grinding noise from gearbox
•Ice machine stops on Safety Shutdown
•Your water has a high concentration of minerals
•The ice machine has not been on a regular
maintenance schedule.
Run a cleaning procedure as described above after this
procedure is complete.

Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and
the remote condenser at the electric service switch
before cleaning the condenser.
Air-Cooled Condenser
(SELF-CONT AINED 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 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.
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a so f t 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.
Water-Cooled Condenser
and Water Regulatin g Valve
Symptoms of restrictions in the condenser water circu it
include:
•Low ice production
•High water consumption
•High operating temperatures
•High operating pressures
If the ice machine is experiencing any of these symptoms,
the water-cooled condenser and water regulating valve
may require cleaning due to scale build-up.
Because the cleaning procedures require special pump s
and cleaning solutions, qualified maintenance or service
personnel must perform them.
3. Shine a flashlight through the condense r 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. 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.

1. Disconnect the electrical power at the circuit breake r
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 (from the inlet to dump
valve) and drain water into container and discard.
5. Make sure water is not trapped in any of the water
lines, drain lines, distribution tubes, etc.
Self-Contained Water-Cooled Ice Machines
1. Perform steps 1-5 under “Self-Con t ained Air-Coole d
Ice Machines.”
2. Disconnect the incoming water and drain lines from
the water-cooled condenser.
3. Insert a large screwdriver between the bottom spring
coils of the water regulating valve. Pry upward to
open the valve.

Safeguard Feature
In addition to standard safety controls, your Manitowoc ice machine features built-in SafeGuards. The ice machine will
stop when conditions arise that would cause major component failure.
GENERAL
The ice machine control board has safety features to
protect the ice machine from severe failures. The ice
machine will stop when conditions arise that would
cause major component failure.
A control board light will flash to indicate which
Safeguard has stopped the ice machine.
Safeguards can be viewed by placing the ICE/OFF/
CLEAN toggle switch in the OFF position.
After 48 hours a Safeguard is automatically erased.
DETERMINING WHICH SAFEGUARD STOPPED THE
ICE MACHINE
Move the ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch to OFF.
If a safeguard has stopped the ice machine, the light
which corresponds to the failure will flash.
SAFEGUARD INDICATOR LIGHTS
During a SafeGuard Mode the corresponding light will
flash continuously.
Example; the “water ok” light on the control board
flashes when the toggle switch is placed in the Off
position. This indicates a loss of water in the reservoir or
a failure of the water sensing switch.
The SafeGuard will remain in memory for 48 hours after
the control is reset with the toggle switch. After 48 hours
the SafeGuard will automatically be erased. If power is
interrupted during the 48 hours, the timing will resume
when power is applied to the ice machine.
SafeGuards
1. No Water - The water sensor switch opens for more
than 20 seconds during the freeze cycle.
2. No Ice Production - The damper door (HES1) fails to
open and close at least once during the first 8
minutes of compressor run time.
or
The damper door fails to open and close at least
once every 90 seconds during the freeze cycle.
RESET PROCEDURE
1. Move the ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch to OFF
and then back to ICE.
A. If a safeguard 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, refer to “Ice
Machine Does Not Operate” in section 5.
2. Allow the ice machine to run to determine if the
problem still exists.
A. If the ice machine continues to run, the condition
has corrected itself. Allow the ice machine to
continue running.
B. If the ice machine stops again, the problem still
exists.
Placing the toggle switch in the OFF position:
The corresponding light will flash continuously.
Placing the toggle switch in the ICE position:
The light will de-energize and a start-up sequence will
initiate.
During the first 48 hours after the control board was
reset, the corresponding light will flash anytime the
toggle switch is placed in the OFF position.
