INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: Raritan Engineering Company, Inc. recommends that a qualified technician install, troubleshoot

and repair this product. Equipment damage, injury to personnel or death could result from improper installation. Raritan Engineering Company, Inc. accepts no responsibility or liability from damage to equipment, or injury or death to personnel that may result from improper installation of this product.

WARNING: Refrigeration Equipment contains refrigerant fluids under very HIGH PRESSURE. Danger of

sudden pressure release may cause injury, death or severe frostbite resulting from not following instructions.

CAUTIONS:DO NOT plug a 120 volt unit into a 240 volt power source.

DO NOT plug a 240 volt unit into a 120 volt power source. DO NOT use a transformer to step down 240 volt 50 HZ power supply to 120 volt.

Equipment designed for 60 HZ may run slow on 50 HZ, resulting in inferior operation and possible overheating of the motor(s).

WARNING: This device is not ignition protected. DO NOT install in compartments containing gasoline tanks

or in areas in which

ignition protected equipment is required.

INTRODUCTION

Series 84 and 85 Icer-ettes are CFC-Free automatic icemakers designed and manufactured especially for the marine environment. They produce up to 22 lbs (10kg) of crescent shaped ice per day and can store 11 lbs (5kg). Two cabinet configurations are offered, allowing counter height installations and shorter limited height installations. Installation and maintenance are simple because no drain is required and the thermostat is fixed; never needing adjustment.

OPERATION

The Icer-ette's on-off switch is just beneath the door. A unit begins to produce ice within 60 minutes after start-up. Ice production stops automatically when the bucket is full enough to interfere with the wire shut-off arm. The unit should not be turned "off" with the door closed and ice or water inside.

NOTES:

1. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear "cloudy". This is trapped air in the water and does not affect the taste or quality of the ice.

2. "Hollow" ice cubes may result from fastfreezing under certain climatic conditions such as high humidity, etc. and is not an indication of a problem with the icemaker.

MAINTENANCE

Periodically vacuum dust and dirt from the condenser, located behind louvered grill at the bottom front of

the unit; taking care not to damage aluminum fins in the process. Regularly inspect plumbing connections to insure that no leaks are present.

When necessary, defrost and thoroughly clean the inside of the unit with mild soap and water. Do not use electrical heating devices, sharp or pointed tools when defrosting. When defrosting or leaving the unit turned off, prop and leave the door open using door lock link. This allows air to dry the inside of the cabinet, reducing the chance for mildew and damage to the mold mechanism's components.

WINTERIZING

WARNING: Disconnect power at source before working on the unit. Do not winterize this unit with ANY type of anti-freeze; damage to the mold coating will occur, invalidating product's Limited Warranty and creating potential health hazard.

1. Shut off the water supply to the unit.

2. Disconnect as follows: Model 85: Disconnect water supply connector behind

front grille at solenoid valve (garden hose connector). Remove white plastic tubing and nut from bottom of solenoid valve.

Model 84: Disconnect the in-line water supply connector behind the front grille.

3. Turn power on. Allow unit to run for an hour. Remove any cubes that may have been ejected

Page 2

during this period. Turn off power and prop door open to allow the inside to defrost. After it has defrosted, wipe it dry and leave door open using door lock link.

RECOMMISSIONING

Connect water supply lines, turn on water, check for leaks, then restore power to the unit. After initial cool down of 45-60 minutes, the unit will cycle approximately every 40 minutes.

MOUNTING

WARNING: If rubber feet are removed from the bottom of 85 series units, the mounting screws must be reinstalled into the bottom of the cabinet to avoid damage to components mounted to the base pan.

If unit is to be built-in, 3/4" (2cm) or more must be allowed behind the unit for water line and plug clearance for proper operation. Built-in units are designed for zero clearance at the top and each side of the unit. Fan-forced condenser cooling is used. This requires air circulation through lower section of unit (see Fig. #1). If Icer-ette is to be installed behind closed doors, contact Raritan Technical Support.

CAUTION: Any restriction of airflow or ventilation will disrupt normal operation of the unit, resulting in damage to components and voids warranty.

FIG. #1 Ventilation

Model 85

Unit must sit on a secure level surface. Mounting flange must NOT be used to support the unit's weight.

When installing the unit it should be noted that some servicing requires access to the rear of the unit and that the unit must be readily removable should servicing be necessary.

When mounting unit within cabinetry, make sure that the door has the desired range of motion. All doors are hinged on the right (facing the unit) but may be reversed in the field.

PLUMBING

A minimum of 22 P.S.I. (152kPa) is required for proper operation of the water valve (see #27, page 4). When plumbing the Model 85 remove front grille. Run a 1/4" O.D. water line through the rear of the cabinet (hole provided) and attach to the garden hose adapter on the solenoid water valve. Replace front grille.

When plumbing the Model 84, 18" (45cm) of water line extends from the back with a 1/4" plastic female compression fitting. Drains are not required; just a water supply.

WIRING

WARNING: HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

- Never use extension cords or plug adapters to

power unit. Never remove the ground prong from the plug.

Power Requirements: 120 volts 60 HZ AC

(alternating current); a three-wire cord with grounded plug is supplied,

OR: 240 volts 50 HZ AC (alternating

current), supplied with Euro-plug.

OUT

Air path for exhaust

and fresh air intake

must be unrestricted!

Recirculation between

fresh air intake and

exhaust air must be

prevented.

Model 84

START-UP

Turn on water, check for leaks and then turn on power. Turn on switch (located just below Icer-ette door). Fan and compressor will normally turn on immediately, resulting in air circulation through the grille and a faint hum from the compressor. If machine was shut off while in ice harvesting cycle, it will have to complete the cycle before compressor and fan turn on (approximately 5 minutes). Interior temperature will drop below freezing. First harvest of ice should occur within 60 minutes of start-up. After lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and refilling occur every 40 minutes or less, under normal conditions.

TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION

BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY TROUBLESHOOTING OR REPAIR OF ICER-ETTE UNITS.

WARNING: It is recommended that only a qualified refrigeration technician perform service on Icer-ettes. Because of

high voltage, high pressure refrigeration, and presence of water in the unit, a person who is not technically qualified may be subject to electric shock hazard. If the Icer-ette is wired to a junction box or otherwise direct to the AC power supply, the appropriate circuit breaker must be turned off to cut the power to the machine. TURNING THE ON-OFF SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION DOES NOT DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND THE DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK WILL REMAIN.

This Troubleshooting Section is to be used only as a guideline to assist in determining any problem. Raritan does not guarantee that the recommendations or corrections listed below will correct the problem.

PROBLEM

1.Compressor and fan not running.

2. Icer-ette will not get cold enough to freeze cubes in the mold.

3. Icer-ette freezes but water does not come into mold; no ice production.

4. Icer-ette will freeze cubes but will not eject them.

5.Icer-ette stops in mid-ejection cycle; compressor will not come back on.

6.Icer-ette makes and ejects cubes but at a very slow rate.

7.Icer-ette frosts up inside and has to be defrosted often.

8.Excessive accumulation of ice; water overflows the ice mold and runs into storage bucket; solid block of ice.
