GENERAL INFORMATION DESCRIPTION The Remcor S.I.D. (Spiral Ice Maker/Dispenser) is a unique, self-contained, counter top style unit that automati- cally makes hard, clear cube-quality ice and stores it in a sealed hopper for sanitary dispensing. The ice is made by a new, patented process on a spiral-shaped, stainless steel evaporator and produces true cube quality ice on the outside of the tubes.
This ice maker is provided with a stainless steel evaporator designed to last the life of the product. But, some of the chemicals in treated and untreated water, specifically chlorine and sulphur (sulphide), have the ability to at- tach stainless steel and cause premature failure.
2. Electrical A 4 x 2 junction box is located at the rear of the unit for the supply hook-up. Connect the ice maker to its own circuit per the national electric code and local code. See SPECIFICATIONS for ampacity and fuse size.
WARNING: To prevent possible injury, do not stick fingers or hand into ice maker nozzle or hopper with power applied to unit. 4. Put the “ Stop/Run”switch in the “ run”position. Observe that the ice maker goes through proper ice making and harvest cycles. If unit malfunctions, consult the Troubleshooting Guide.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A temperature sensing control bulb located in the storage hopper starts and stops the ice making process in response to ice level in the hopper. With this ice level control “ calling”for ice (hopper ice level is low), ice begins to form on the stainless steel tubing coils in the evaporator coils until it contacts the ice thickness probe (low voltage conductivity sensor).

(or as required) Cleaning of the ice maker is recommended on a regular basis not only for sanitary reasons, but also to maintain the performance of the unit. Build-up of lime and scale can hinder ice making production rates and interfere with proper dispensing of the ice.
8. Sanitize the inside of the hopper agitator, ice chute, the hopper cover and ice drop cover with a solution of 1 ounce of household bleach to 2 gallons of water. (200 PPM) 9. Replace the hopper cover and ice drop cover. Turn on the electrical power supply. The ice maker is ready for normal operation.

2. Slide the cold plate cover back. (Remove shipping tape and discard). 3. Remove any debris from the drain trough and spring. Check that drain hole is not clogged. 4. Wash down the inside of the cold plate with a mild detergent solution and rinse. A small, long handled brush will be found helpful in reaching the corners.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following pages contain troubleshooting charts designed to aid an experienced service person in diagnosing any operating problem which may be experienced. It is assumed that normal service techniques and skills are familiar to the person doing the troubleshooting. In order to gain maximum benefit from these charts please note: 1.

ICE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT WARNING: Do not adjust ice thickness probe unless all other problem causes have been evaluated. 1. Open the hinged service door and remove the ice drop and hopper covers. 2. Collect and weigh the ice produced during the harvest cycle. The amount of ice harvested should weigh approximately five (5) pounds.
Using a stop watch, time the cam switch telltales. Adjust the cam tabs as necessary for the required cycle times. MANUAL FILLING In the event that the ice maker is not functioning, the hopper may be manually filled with ice. 1. Open the hinged service door. 2. Place the “ Stop/Run”switch in the “ Stop”position.
