Attention installer

Follett ice dispensers enjoy a well-deserved reputation for excellent performance, long-term reliability, and outstanding

after-the-sale support. To ensure that this dispenser delivers that same degree of service, we ask that you review this

manual before beginning to install the dispenser. This manual is designed to help you achieve a perfect installation.

Should you have any questions or require technical help at any time, please call our technical service group toll-free at

(800) 523-9361 or (888) 2-FOLLETT, or at (610) 252-7301.

Before you begin

After uncrating and removing all packing material, inspect the equipment for concealed shipping damage. If damage is

found, notify your shipper immediately and contact Follett Corporation for help in filing a claim, if necessary.

Caution: Do

NOT tilt any freestanding model or icemaker unit further than 30° off vertical during uncrating or installation.

Check your paperwork to determine which model you have. Follett model numbers are designed to provide information

about the type and capacity of Follett ice dispensing equipment. Following is an explanation of model numbers:

Electrical specifications

Models with remote icemakers require separate circuit and disconnect for icemaker and dispenser

Icemaker Max. Fuse Dispenser Max. Fuse

Important cautions

• Dispenser bin area contains mechanical, moving parts. Keep hands and arms clear of this area at all

times. If access to this area is required, power to unit must be disconnected first.

• Follett recommends a QC4-FL4S water filter system (order #AFSYSTMFL4S) be installed in icemaker inlet

water line.

• Ice is slippery. Maintain counters and floors around dispenser in a clean and ice-free condition.

• Ice is food. Follow recommended cleaning instructions to maintain cleanliness of delivered ice.

• Countertop dispensers which sit on legs (not bolted to counter) can be inadvertently moved. Care should be taken

when operating and cleaning to avoid accidents.

Before you begin

• All dispensers must be installed level in both directions to ensure proper operation.

• Required service and ventilation clearances:

• Models with integral icemakers (in top of cabinet) — 6" (15.2 cm) on right side of dispenser and at top.

• Models with remote icemakers — 12" (30.5 cm) at top.

• Freestanding models — 12" (30.5 cm) at top and 4" (10.2 cm) at back.

• All countertop and wallhung dispensers provide the option of taking utilities out the bottom or back of the

dispenser. See counter cut-out drawings for bottom exiting utilities on units with and without drain pans. For

installations where utilities will exit through back of dispenser, refer to back view drawings.

• Wallhung models are designed for use above sinks or custom drain pans and are not normally equipped

with integral drain pans.

(Center of sink should be 19.5" (49.5 cm) from back wall.) Connection of utilities through

the back for wallhung units is the same as shown in drawings for countertop models except that the 3.25" (8.3 cm)

high drain pan is absent.

Note: Electrical connection box can

also be accessed through front of

dispenser by removing front cover,

black plastic chute cover and

stainless splash panel.

Do NOT tilt unit further

than 30° off vertical.

Installing remote icemaker (Models C25R5A/W, C50R5A/W, H25R5A/W, H50R5A/W)

When 10 feet (3 m) or less of ice transport tube is required to carry ice from evaporator port to dispenser, the unit will be

shipped with one end of tube already installed in mounting bracket of dispenser. For runs that exceed 10 feet (3 m) the

tubing is not mounted and requires a different installation procedure. Refer to appropriate section below for your specific

installation.

Units shipped with standard 10 feet (3 m) of ice transport tube

1. Position icemaker in desired location.

2. Refer to R5A/W Installation Manual (Form #206428) packed with icemaker for installation instructions, restrictions on

ice transport tube run and ventilation requirements for remote icemakers.

Units shipped with more than 10 feet (3 m) of ice transport tube

1. Remove top and rear access panel from dispenser.

2. Run end of ice transport tube with 3/16" (1.9 mm) hole through right hand knockout in back of dispenser or through

counter into bottom of dispenser, being careful to avoid any

bends with less than a 6" (15.2 cm) radius.

3. Insert tube in internal chase in rear inside corner of dispenser

(right side as you face rear of dispenser) and push up into

storage area.

4. Push 3/16" (5 mm) hole near end of tube into engaging pin on

ice tube bracket (see drawing at right).

5. Install supplied insulation to run of transport tube required for

your site, leaving approximately 2" (5.1 cm) of tube exposed

at free end.

6. Check that insulated tube runs continuously uphill to

dispenser with no dips.
