Important Information
This equipment must be installed in accordance with all local, state, and national
regulations. This machine must be installed correctly as per these installation
instructions. This machine must be installed by a qualified Refrigeration or Electrical
technician. A plumber should only be used to make the water connections.
THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR USE
LOCATION -
This ice machine must be level and situated in a cool dry area with
sufficient air ventilation. The ice machine is NOT to be installed in a cupboard or
with limited or restrictive airflow. The equipment should NOT be located next to
equipment that discharges or radiates hot air on or near the ice machine. NOTE:
Hotter working environments OR water temperatures will reduce the production
capacity of the machine.
Operating Specifications Below
°
Operating air temperatures Min 10 c to Max 40
°
Operating water temperatures Min 5 c to Max 35
Operating water pressure Min 1 bar to Max 5 bar
Machine side clearance Min 150mm
Machine rear clearance Min 100mm
A water filter system must be fitted to this ice machine, this will help to reduce and
control the buildup of sediment, scale, mineral and bacteria from accumulating inside
the machine.
The location should have a dedicated power point, a dedicated constant water supply
and a water drainage point all within one meter of the machine. The EC model ice
machines have a pump out drain built into the machine (PWD) The machine will
pump water up to 15 meters away (horizontal) and up to 1,2 meters high (vertical)
For the ice maker to operate effectively and efficiently the machine requires
sufficient air ventilation around the machine. It requires a Minimum side clearance
of 150mm and a Minimum rear clearance of 100mm.

Set Up
After unboxing the machine inspect for any damages. Open the ice bin door and
remove the manuals, legs, hoses, ice scoop, any packaging and the red strapping tape
from the water curtain fingers. Fit the legs or feet to the machine and adjust to the
minimum height. Fit the water supply hose to the water inlet valve on the back of the
unit. Fit the water drain hose and clip to water outlet pipe on the back of machine.
Connect the opposite end of the water supply hose to the water filter outlet. Attach
the opposite end of the water drain hose to the floor drain or tundish and secure it.
Maneuver the machine into its final position. ENSURE THE MACHINE HAS THE
REQUIRED SIDE AND REAR VENTILATION CLEARANCES. Ensure the ice machine is
level (the legs can be adjusted to level the machine) Remove the protective plastic
from the panels of the machine. Fit the cleaning and maintenance instruction decal to
the ice bin door.
The electrical connections for this machine must comply with all local, state and
national regulations. The ice maker requires a dedicated power point. Check the
serial plate to ensure voltage requirements and plug are suitable for the wall socket

must be undertaken by a qualified technician.
1) Is the ice maker level?
2) Is the ambient air temperature between 10c and 40c?
3) Is there the required 150mm side clearance and 100mm rear clearance and
have top ventilation clearance? There should be NO other equipment next
to the unit discharging hot air near or onto the machine?
4) Have the water connections been made and checked? Is the water pressure
between 1 and 5 bars? Has the water pressure been tested?
5) Is the incoming water temperature between 5C and 35C? (optimum water
temp should be between 15c to 21c)
6) Does the machine have a 3-stage water filter fitted?
7) Do the electrical requirements comply and has the electrical connection
been made? DO NOT TURN ON THE MACHINE.
8) Has everything been removed from inside the ice bin?
9) Have all the internal components been checked and fitted and correctly?
10) Has the owner been instructed on the operation and maintenance of the
machine? Has the owner been given the installation instructions which
include the maintenance details?
11) Has the machine been cleaned and sanitized before starting up?
12) Does the customer have Moffat's service contact details?
1) Open the water supply to the ice machine and check for water leaks.
2) Switch the power on at the wall socket (Green light on)
3) The machine will enter the startup cycle for 5 minutes filling the water
trough. Check to see water is trickling into the water trough by lifting fingers.
4) After the 5-minute filling / draining cycle is completed, the machine will start
up in the freezing cycle (Yellow light) The refrigeration system will run, and
the condenser fan will thermostat on and off during the cycle. The machine
will run for between 17 to 24 minutes making ice (depending on ambient
and water temperatures)

Start Up
5) Once the ice is made and fully formed, the machine will go into a harvest
cycle until all the ice cubes have dropped into the ice storage bin.
6) When the ice bin fills, ice will touch the ice bin sensor probe on the right side
of the ice bin (EC-47-57-87-107-127 models) and will shut down the
machine. For EC-177 model, the ice bin shut off has a beam sensor, when ice
blocks the beam, it shuts off the ice machine (Yellow light)
7) When ice is removed from the bin away from the sensors, the machine will
start up again and start making ice.
8) After the machine has completed 4 cycles, open the ice storage bin and
inspect the freshly made ice cubes. They should have a small indentation at
the bottom of the cube like in diagram below.
