CAUTION! • This appliance should be permanently connected by a qualified person in accordance with application codes. • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. •...
Before you begin After uncrating and removing all packing material, inspect the equipment for concealed shipping damage. If damage is found, notify the shipper immediately and contact Follett Corporation so that we can help in the filing of a claim, if necessary.
To prevent back flow, do not connect drains. Separate drains for ice machine and condenser. Water shut-off recommended within 10 feet (3 m). Water supply must be treated by a scale-inhibiting filter (Follett item# 00130286). Ambient Air temperature 100 F/38 C max.
Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning of the icemaker system, in most cases, should be performed by your facility’s maintenance staff or a Follett authorized service agent. Regardless of who performs the cleaning, it is the operator’s responsibility to see that this cleaning is performed according to the schedule below.
• Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (and/or face shield) when handling ice machine cleaner or sanitizer CAUTION • Use only Follett approved SafeCLEAN™ Cleaner (part #00132001) and NU-CALGON IMS-II or IMS-III SANITIZER (00979674). • Do not mix Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions together.

Fig. 9 9. Remove and discard 16" (407mm) pusher tube (Fig. 9). Fig. 10 10. Reconnect coupling. When sanitizing cycle ends, machine will start producing ice. Press power switch ON. Ice pushes Sani-Sponges through tube (Fig. 10). Fig. 11 11. Place a sanitary (2 gallon or larger) container in bin or dispenser to collect Sani-Sponges and ice for 10 minutes.
The Horizon ice machine overview The Follett Horizon ice machine uses a horizontal, cylindrical evaporator to freeze water on its inner surface. The refrigeration cycle is continuous; there is no batch cycle. The evaporator is flooded with water and the level is controlled by sensors in a reservoir.
Water system The water level in the evaporator is controlled by a feed solenoid and level detecting sensors. Referencing the diagram below, water sensing rods extend down into the reservoir at the end of the evaporator assembly. The system works via electrical conductivity as follows: One of the longest probes is a common.
Electrical system ATTENTION! To prevent circuit breaker overload, wait 15 minutes before restarting this unit. This allows the compressor to equalize and the evaporator to thaw. Normal control board operation The PC board indicator lights provide all the information necessary to determine the machine's status. Green indicator lights generally represent “go”...
Even cycling power will not reset a hard error. A soft error can either be automatically reset should the condition rectify, or if power is cycled. Should an error occur, consult the troubleshooting guide in this manual or a Follett service technician.

R404A Refrigerant replacement requirements 1. Non-contaminated refrigerant removed from any Follett refrigeration system can be recycled and returned to the same system after completing repairs. Recycled refrigerant must be stored in a clean, approved storage container. If additional refrigerant is required, virgin or reclaimed refrigerant that meets ARI standard 700-88 must be used.
“Bin full” detection system The Follett Horizon ice machine incorporates a unique “bin full” detection system that consists of the shuttle and actuator. The shuttle incorporates a flag and switch. Referencing the figure below, the normal running position of the flag is down, and the switch is closed. When the bin fills to the top and ice can no longer move through the tube, the machine will force the shuttle flag up, opening the switch and shutting the machine off.
Troubleshooting Please see “Service” section for a description of each function. Ice machine disposition Possible causes Corrective action Legend: ON or OFF FLASHING Ice machine is in running 1. Defective compressor. 1. Replace compressor. condition but not making ice. 2. Defective start relay. 2.
