SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS: Disconnect power to the dispenser before servicing or cleaning.
NEVER: Place hands inside of hopper or gate area without disconnecting power to the dispenser. Agitator

rotation occurs automatically when dispenser is energized!

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

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

ALWAYS: Be sure the upper and lower front panels are securely fastened.
ALWAYS: Keep area around the dispenser clean of ice cubes.

Dispenser cannot be used with crushed or flaked ice. Use of bagged ice that 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 that “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.

DESCRIPTION

The Remcor TJ400 series ice dispensers solve your ice service needs, the sanitary , space saving, economical
way . The units are designed to be filled with ice from a top-mounted ice maker.

These dispensers will dispense cubes (up to 1-3/8? size), cubelets and hard chipped or cracked ice. Remcor
dispensers cannot be used with crushed or flaked ice.

“B” models contain beverage faucets only and must be supplied with cold product from any remote cold plate or
refrigerated soda factory .

“BC” models contain beverage faucets and an internal cold plate system. They are designed to be supplied
direct from syrup tanks and carbonator, with no additional cooling required.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The ice dispenser must be sealed to the counter. The mounting template (See Figure 1) indicates openings
that must be cut in the counter. Locate the desired position for the dispenser, then mark the outline dimen­sions and cut out locations using the template drawing. Cut openings in counter.

Apply a continuous bead of NSF International 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 .

2. Carefully pull the beverage tubes, drain line, and power cord through the large openings in the bottom of
the unit. See the mounting template (Figure 1) for locating the required clearance holes in the counter for
these utility lines.

3. Install the ice maker according to instructions supplied with the installation kit (consult factory for kit part
numbers), and manufacturer’s instructions supplied with ice maker.

4. Connect the drain tube to an open drain. If additional piping is required, it must be 3/4” IPS (or equal), and
must pitch downward away from the unit for proper drainage.

5. Connect the beverage system product lines according to the system schematics shown on page 9 for “B”
models and page10 for “BC” models. This work should be done by a qualified serviceperson. Consult with
your local syrup or beverage equipment supplier for recommended practices for system hook-up.

IMPORTANT: Potable water supplied to the dispenser must comply with the Basic Plumbing Code of
the Building Officials and Code Administrators International Inc. (BOCA).

6. Clean the ice dispenser interior (see Cleaning Instructions on page 6).

7. Connect the power cord to a 115 volt, 60 cycle, 3-wire grounded receptacle. If local code requires the unit
to be permanently wired, the power supply cord can be disconnected from the machine’s internal wiring

(2 wire nuts) and the electrical control box (clamp style strain relief fitting). The control box is located in the
upper right corner at the front of the unit. Access is provided by removing the upper front cabinet panel.
With the power cord removed, conduit can then be routed from the rear of the unit, inside the lower
compartment and up to the control box. Electrical hook-up must comply with N.E.C. and local codes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Ice Dispensing -- Depressing the operating lever located below each ice chute activates a switch which en­ergizes the agitator motor and gate solenoid. This causes the agitator to rotate and the gate slide to lift,
allowing ice to push out the gate opening into the ice chute.

2. Storage Hopper Ice Level -- The agitation time 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. Follow the instructions provided with the installation kits (consult factory), and the ice maker
manual for location and operation of the ice maker control.

3. Beverage System -- Beverages may be dispensed by operating the lever on the appropriate faucets. On
units with cold plates (“C” models), periodic movement of the ice in the hopper is necessary to maintain the
level of ice on the cold plate. On initial startup, or after long idle periods with no use, dispensing ice for
20-30 seconds is necessary to fill the cold plate, or warm beverages may be experienced.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE CLEANING! Do not use metal scrapers, sharp
objects or abrasives on the surface of the liner, as damage may result. Do not use solvents
or other cleaning agents as they may attack the plastic liner.

CAUTION: The inherent nature of ice may cause spillage onto counter or floor areas. The
owner or operator is cautioned to maintain these areas in a clean, ice free condition.

DISPENSER

1. Clean the ice dispenser interior at least once a month.

2. Remove the top lid and lift out the agitator.

3. Wash the agitator in a detergent solution and rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of detergent.

4. Wash down the inside of the hopper and top cover with a mild detergent solution, and rinse thoroughly to
remove all traces of detergent.

5. Replace the agitator.

6. Sanitize agitator and all internal surfaces of the hopper with a solution of 1 oz. of household bleach in 2
gallons of water.

7. Remove ice chute cover as follows:
A. Flex sides outward to disengage lower pins.
B. Lift ice chute cover to disengage upper pins.
C. Lower ice chute cover down out of unit. NOTE: It may be helpful to twist cover slightly.

8. Clean the inside of the ice transfer conduits, ice chute covers, and ice chutes with a mild detergent solution
and rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of detergent.

9. Reverse steps above to reassemble ice chute.

10. Sanitize as described in step 6.
