If ice maker is installed above two thousand feet of

altitude, the bin and evaporator thermostats must

be adjusted to a warmer setting. Disconnect

electricity,

remove thermostat and follow the

directions for turning the altitude adjustment

screw as shown in the label on each thermostat.

SHIPBOARD OPERATION

When this ice cube maker is installed aboard a ship,

it will be necessary to purchase and install a water

deflector. This deflector hanas between the lower

edge of the evaporator and the cutter grid. It keeps

the water flowing over the evaporator from spilling

into the storage bin area. Order the necessary parts

from your local ice maker dealer.

(observe locel codes)

The unit is provided wth a gravity drain

The ideal installation has a standpipe (1 %“. 32mm

minimum) installed directly below the outlet or

FOR THE

ELECTRICIAN

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 220/240 Volt, 50 Hz. 10 Amp (used electrical supply

is required (lime delay luse or circuit breaker is

recommended). It is recommended lhat a Separate

clrcuil, serving only this appliance be provided.

USE COPPER WIRE ONLY

RECOMMENDED

GROUNDING METHOD

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REGUIRED ON

THIS MACHINE

For your personal salety permanently ground this unit

in accordance with applicable local codes and

ordinances. It is recommended that a separate,

permanent ground connection be made lo the unit

using a green/yellow colored, insulated conductor ol

appropriate size from agrounded cold waler pip?: a

grounded lead in the service panel or a properly driven

and electrically grounded ground rod. Do not ground

lo a gas supply pipe. Do not connect electric power

supply until unit is permanently grounded. Connect the

ground wire lo the approved ground and then connect

lo the metal frame 01 the unit.

WIRING

CONFORM TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES

AND ORDINANCES

Remove grill mounting screws for access to motor

comoartment and waler connections. Electrical

conriections are made lo the electrical box which is

located al the rear or the machine. Run permanent type

1.6 mm d (#14) wiring through the hole provided in the

eletrical box to the line screws on the terminal board.

(See Figure 6). DO NO USE AN EXTENSION

ICE MAKER OPERATION

How it makes Ice:

1. Water IS circulated overa freezlng plate. As the waler

freezes, minerals m the waler are rejected. The absence

of mmerals oroduces a clear sheet of ice.

2. When the desired thickness IS reached, the Ice sheet

is released and slides on lo a culler grid. The grid

diwdes the sheet Into mdwdual cubes

3. The water conlalnmg the rejected minerals IS dramed

oul at the end of each freezlng cycle.

4. Fresh waler then enters the machme for the next Ice

makmg cy

5. Cubes fall Into the storage bin When lhe bin IS full

Ihe ice maker shuls off automabcally and reslarls when

more vce IS needed

THINGS TO

REMEMBER

fore the first cycle will be completed without

water in the system.

UNIT WIRING DIAGRAM

This model operales al 230 Volts except for the cutter

grid circuit which operates al 10 Volls al 1 Amp.

The compressor runs al all times except when the bin

thermostat becomes satisfied and opens up. This de-

energizes the system except for the transformer and

cutler grid.

Under normal operaling conditions, when the

evaporator reaches the preset lempeialure (-120 C,

+ 1 go F lo -1 Qo C. -30 F. depending on thickness of ice)

the evaporator lhermoslal opens. terminating operation

of Ihe fan motor and pump molar. The hot gas solenoid

and the water valve solenoid are energized al lhis lime

and remain so until the evaporalor reaches 36 (30 C)
