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.

917001

DESCRIPTION

The TJ400 series ice dispensers solve your ice and beverage service needs in a sanitary , space saving,
economical way . Designed to be manually filled with ice from any remote ice-making source, these dispensers
will dispense cubes (up to 1-1/4 inch in size), cubelets and hard-chipped or cracked ice; and in addition, several
flavors of post-mix beverages. “B” models contain beverage faucets only , and must be supplied cold product
from any remote cold plate or refrigerated soda factory . “BC” units include beverage faucets and a cold plate
and are designed to be supplied direct from syrup tanks and carbonator; with no additional cooling required.

S=Stainless Steel Cabinetry .
K=Provided with top cover/frame for supporting ice maker.
B=Beverage dispenser.
BC=Beverage and Cold Plate System.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING DISPENSER

1. The ice dispenser must be sealed to the counter. The template drawings (page 5) indicate 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 the counter.

Apply a continuous bead of NSF International (NSF) approved silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approxi­mately 1/4 inch inside of the unit outline dimensions and all around openings. Then, position the unit on the
counter within the outline dimensions. All excess sealant must be wiped off immediately.

2. Carefully pull beverage tubes, drain line, and power cord through the large openings in the bottom of the
unit. See mounting template (Figure 2) 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), 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 6 for “B”
Models and page 7 for “BC” Models. This work should be done by a qualified service person. 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 storage hopper interior (see Cleaning Instructions on page 8).

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 wiring must comply with national and local electrical
codes.

NOTE: Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized,
installed and maintained according to Federal, State, and Local Laws.

GATE RESTRICTOR PLATE

CAUTION: Disconnect power to dispenser before installing, removing, or adjusting
restrictor.

ADJUSTMENT

FIGURE 1. GA TE RESTRICTOR PLATE ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTMENT

This dispenser is provided with a gate restrictor plate, installed in it’s highest position. This plate adjusts the rate
of ice flow from the dispenser. In applications using buckets, carafes, or other large containers, the plate may be
removed entirely for maximum ice flow. For glasses and cups, the plate may be adjusted downward to
reduce the flow of ice. The best position depends on the type of ice being used and the size container and must
be found by trial and error. Adjustment is made by loosening the upper two ice chute retaining nuts, sliding the
restrictor plate to the desired position and re-tightening the nuts.

If the dispenser fails to dispense the ice when operated, check that the hopper has ice in it and that power is
being supplied to the unit. If problems persist, check the following:

1. Determine if the agitator is rotating (check for the sound of ice movement in the hopper).

2. Observe if the gate is opening.
