SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This ice dispenser has been specifically designed to provide protection against personal injury and eliminates
contamination of ice. To insure continued protection and sanit ation, observe the following

Always d isconnect power to th e dispenser before servicing or cleaning.
Never place han ds inside of ho pper or gate area without disconnecting power to the dispenser. Agitator rotation

occurs automa tically when the dispenser is energized!

ALWAYS be sure the removable lid is properly installed to prevent unautho­rized access to the hopper interior and possible contamination of ice.

ALWAYS be sure the upper and lower front panels are securely fastened.
ALWAYS keep area around the dispenser clean of ice cubes.

CAUTION: Dispenser cannot be used with crushed or flaked ice.
Use of bagged ice which has frozen into large chunks can void warranty. The dispenser

agitator is not designed to be an ice crusher. Use of large chunks of ice which “jam up”
inside the hopper will cause failure of the agitator motor and damage to the hopper. If bagged ice
is used, it must be carefully and completely broken into small, cube-sized pieces before filling into
the dispenser hopper.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

These dispensers will dispense cubes (up to1-3/8” in size), cubelets, hard-chipped or cracked ice. Remcor dis­pensers cannot be used with crushed or flaked ice.

Model Designation: TJ 1 2 3

Cabinetry Options:

(E) Neutral beige, baked enamel finish and wood grain vinyl-clad upper front panel.
(S) All Stainless Steel.

Ice Fill Options:

(No Letter) Manually filled from remote ice maker.
(A) Automatic fill from a “piped ice” type ice maker.
(K) Automatic fill from a top-mounte d “ice cuber”.

Example: Model TJ205s “K” has a 250 pound ice storage capacity with a stainless steel cabinet and

is designed for automatic filling from a top-moun ted ice maker.

ICE MAKER

REMCOR “A” and “K” model ice dispensers are designed to be used with one of several “piped ice” type ice
makers or top-mount “ice cubers.” These must be obtained from the appropriate manufacturer or distributor in
your area .

FEED TUBE OR ICE MAKER INSTALLATION KIT

This kit contains parts and instructions necessary to connect the ice maker to the ice dispenser. Be sure the kit
you receive is proper for your ice maker. The following kits are approved for use on the TJ200 / 250 / 300 “A,”

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The ice dispenser must be sealed to the counter The template drawing (Figure 6) indicate openings which
must be cut in the counter. Locate the desired position for the dispenser, then mark the outline dimensions
on the counter using the template drawings. Cut openings in counter.

Apply a cont inuous bea d of NSF International (NSF) listed silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approximate­ly 1/4” inside of the unit outline dimensions and around all openings. Then position the unit on the counter
within the outline dimensions. All excess sealant must be wiped away immediately. “A” models must be
fastened in place with mounting hardware provided.

2. “A” and “K” Models Only: Install the ice maker according to the instructions supplied with the kit, and
manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the ice maker.

3. Connect the drain tube to an open drain. If additional piping is requ ired, it must be 3/4” IPS (or equal). Th is
line must continually pitch downward away from the unit and must contain no traps, or improper drainage
will re sult.

4. Clean the ice dispenser interior (see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS).

5. Connect the power cord to a 115 volt, 60 cycle, 3-wire grounded receptacle. “A” models must be perma­nently wired and conform to NEC and local codes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

1. Ice Dispensing: Depressing the operating lever activates a micro switch behind the front panel which ener­gizes the a gitator motor and gate solenoid. This causes the agitator to rotate and the gate slide to lift, al­lowing ice to push out the gate opening.

2. Ice le vel (Standard Models): When ice level light is on, remove the lid and fill the hopper with ice. Replace
lid to avoid contamination of ice.

CAUTION: Use caution to avoid spilling ice when filling dispenser. Clean up immediately
any spilled ice from filling or operating the unit. To prevent contamination of ice, the lid
must be stalled on the unit at all times.

Automatic Ice Filling (“A” models): While the ice maker is running, the ice entering the hopper from the f eed
tube should be loose and in small pieces. Ice entering in the form of hard-packed cylinders indicates a re­striction or distortion of the feed tube and could result in ice maker malfunction, if not corrected. The auto­matic agitation timer causes the the ice to level which allows the entire storage bin to fill before the ice ma­chine shut s off. When the ice level remains at the deflector af ter agitation, the ice maker control capillary
(ice maker b ulb) stops ice maker operation until the level drops and the bulbs warm up.

Immediately after ice maker shut-off, observe the ice in the hopper between the feed tube entrance and the
deflector. it should be loosely pressed against the top of the deflector, indicating correct thermostat opera­tion. If the ice level is low or if the ice is packed hard against the deflector, it will be necessary to re-adjust
the ice maker bin control, according to the ice maker instructions. Adjust the control warmer to lower the
ice level and colder to raise the ice l evel.

Automatic Ice Filling (“K” Models): As the “A” models, the agitation tier causes the ice to level which allows
the entire storage bin to fill before the ice machine shuts off. The ice maker control capillary bulb maintains
the ice level in the storage hopper. Consult the instructions provided with the installation kit and the ice
maker manual for location and operation of the ice maker control.
