Location:

After uncrating and inspection, the unit is ready for installation. It is important that the machine be installed in a location where it has enough space around it to be accessible for service. A minimum of 6" must be allowed at the back for air circulation on air cooled models. Try to avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the machine is within the envrionmental limitations.

Storage Bin:

Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the casters, use a heavy duty leg kit if stacking two ice machines on one bin.

1. Arrange for proper electric, water and drain. See instructions for the plumber and for the

electrician.

2. Single ice machine on bin: Use caster kit KBC9. After mounting the casters, position the ice storage bin in the selected location:

MCM1462

ICE MACHINE AND BIN ASSEMBLY

Two ice machines on a bin require stacking kit KSMCM48. Do NOT use casters on units with two ice machines on one bin.

Note: Allow enough space to the left and back to service the machine. Do NOT push the bin into postion, instead, lift it there. Pushing a bin may damage the legs and leg mounts.

Level the bin in both the front to rear and side to side directions by adjusting the casters. Stacked units use non-adjustable legs, and must be leveled with shims. Select a well ventilated location for air cooled models.

Note: Air cooled models blow air from front to back.

3. Inspect the bin top mounting gasket which should be flat, with no wrinkles, to provide a good water seal when the cuber is installed on top of the bin.

4. Install the bin bumpers onto the top edge of the bin, so that they hang-over the back.

Ice Maker:

Install the modular cuber on top of the bin using care to be sure a good seal is made between the two cabinets. Use of a mechancial lift is recommended. Align the holes in the bottom rear of the cabinet to mate with the two mounting holes on the top rear of the bin.

Use bolts and straps found on the back of the icemaker to secure the ice machine to the bin. When alignment and leveling are completed, tighten the bolts to secure the mounting straps.

Remove the front panels, and remove the evaporator shipping brackets and hardware.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Location & Assembly

Stacking Instructions

A stacking kit, KSMCM48, is required to interconnect the ice level controls, seal the freezing compartments, support the bin with heavy duty legs, and to retain the top edges of the bottom unit’s front panels.

Follow the installation instructions of the stacking kit, but in general:

Before adding a unit, the casters must be replaced with heavy duty legs. Casters must not be used

with two ice machines on one bin.

When stacking two units, remove the top panel and the evaporator cover from the lower icemaker. (The top removed from the lower icemaker will no longer have any function.)

STACKING

A stainless steel bracket (from the kit) must be attached to the top of the bottom machine before the units are stacked.

Place strips of gasket material (from the stacking kit) on the top edges of the bottom unit’s freezing compartment.

Carefully lift the uncrated top unit onto the bottom one and align the two cabinets. Use of a mechanical lift is recommended for this step.

At the back of the two icemakers, bolt the upper icemaker cabinet to the lower icemaker cabinet using the mounting straps and bolts from the hardware package.

Add the relay box to interconnect the two ice machine’s bin control circuits.

BACK VIEW OF UNIT

GROUND SCREW

MCM1462

SEE NAMEPLATE for current requirements to determine wire size to be used for electrical hookup. The cuber requires a solid chassis to chassis earth ground wire. See Wiring Diagram. Be certain the cuber is connected to its own electrical circuit and individually fused. Voltage variation should not exceed ten percent of the nameplate rating, even under starting conditions. Low voltages can cause erratic operation and may be responsible for serious damage to the icemaker.

ELECTRICAL

POWER SUPPLY

Electrical connections are made at the rear of the icemaker, inside the junction box.

All external wiring should conform to the national, state and local electrical code requirements. Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician will be required.

FOR THE PLUMBER

FOLLOW ALL LOCAL CODES:

The recommended water supply line is a 3/8-inch O.D. copper tubing with a minimum operating pressure of 20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG.

Connect to cold water supply line with standard plumbing fittings, with shut off valve installed in an accessible place between thewater supply and the cuber. ln some cases a plumber will be required.

Water Limitations:

An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant, it takes in a raw material, water, and turns it inot a food product, ice. The purity of the water is very important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing product life. It is generally better to filter the water, although there is no one filter that will cure all water problems. A good filter combined with a polyphosphate feeder gives about the best overall performance.

Cold, potable water must be supplied to the water inlet fitting.

CONNECTIONS:

All drains are gravity type and must have a minimum of 1/4-inch fall per foot on horizontal runs. The drains to be installed to conform with the local plumbing code. Install a vertical open vent on drain line high point to insure good draining. The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and vented floor drain. Recommended bin drain is 5/8 inch O.D. copper tubing and should be vented and run separately. Insulation for high humidity areas is recommended.

Water Cooled models require another inlet connection to the condenser, and another drain for the condenser. The drain must be separate from the bin drain.

Bin Drain: The bin drains from the bottom, and needs no vent unless there is a long horizontal run.

Terminate drains above the drain receptacle with the proper air gap per local code.

The ice machine sump drain is 3/4" FPT. There must be a vent at this connection for proper sump drainage.

FINAL CHECK LIST

1. Is the cabinet in a room where ambient temperatures are within the minimum and maximum temperatures specified?

2. Is there at least six inches clearance at the left and back sides of the cabinet for proper air circulation? (Air Cooled models)

3. Has water supply pressure been checked to insure a minimum of 20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG operating pressure?

4. Is the cabinet level?

5. Check that any shipping material has been removed from inside the cabinet.

6. Check that the reservoir is properly secured to the bottom of the evaporator plates.

7. Have all electrical, water and drain connections been made?

8. Is the water supply line shut off valve installed and electrical wiring properly connected?

TIMER

MCM1462

INITAL START UP

1. Remove the front panels by removing screws at the base and pulling out.

2. Remove two screws and the control box cover.

3. Check that the two switches on the control box, the ICE-OFF-WASH rocker switch and the COMPRESSOR ON-OFF toggle switch are in the OFF position.

4. OPEN the water supply line shut off valve.

5. Inside the control box is the shaft of the timer and the switch assembly. Rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly clockwise to start the timer. The timer starts when the actuator arm on the microswitch drops off outer cam into cam slot. See “Front View of Timer”.

6. Move the ICE-OFF-WASH rocker switch, to the ICE position.

7. Observe water fill cycle: Water pump operates and water inlet solenoid valve OPENS, incoming water flows from the valve through the tubing, the reservoir fills and excess water is overflowed through the stand pipe. This continues through the harvest cycle (about 3 and a half minutes). When the freeze cycle is started, the timer and relay will close the water inlet solenoid valve and the water fill cycle is complete. If the sump is not full, rotate the timer once again to repeat the harvest cycle. The water pump should be pumping water through the tygon tubes up to the water distributor at the top of each evaporator plate, where water is uniformly dispensed and cascades down both sides of the evaporator plates and drains back into the sump assembly for recirculation.

8. When the sump has filled, move the compressor ON-OFF toggle switch, to the ON position.

9. Check operation of the freezing cycle: The compressor is operating.The icemaking process begins; feeling the metal parts of the evaporator plate reveals cold temperature, very shortly ice begins to form. Tubing will become frosted at the top of the evaporator plate. The first cycle will be the longest, after that freezing time will range between 12 and 15 minutes. Longer time for temperatures above 70 degrees F. and shorter time required when temperatures are below 70-degrees F. Average complete cycle time is about 16 minutes.
