One Cornelius Place Anoka, MN 55303 1–800–554–3526 The warranty on Cornelius icemakers begins on the date of installation, as reported on the warranty registration card to the original owner/user. If no warranty card is received by the factory, the date of shipment from the factory will determine the start of the warranty.
ORIGINAL OWNER, END-USER RESPONSIBILITY To verify the equipment installation date by the return of the warranty registration card to the fac- tory within five days of the installation. To pay freight or handling charge. To pay for service labor and/or parts required to correct improperly installed equipment.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION CUBER ONLY After the installation of the water lines from the primary water supply, the float valve will be open and remain open until the reservoir is filled to the proper level. (1/4” below the support). Note: Primary water supply must not be less than 20 psi, nor mor then 50 psi on Float Valves with no Flow Washer, or 125 psi for Float Valves with Flow Washer.
Example: Weight/cycle x cycles/day = total production/24 hrs. Compare to the production tables. COMMERCIAL CUBER ICE MAKER ICE PRODUCTION CAPACITY (Approximate) Air Cooled: Take air temperature at the intake of the con- denser, 2” from the condenser fins.

THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE PERFORMED AT LEAST EVERY SIX MONTHS ON FLAKED ICE MACHINES Check power supply with machine running for prop- er voltage. Check water level in the float tank reservoir. Water level should be maintained at the top of the evapo- rator.
12. Re–assemble. steps 6 through 10. CAUTION: IN RE–ASSEMBLING THE AUGER GEARMOTOR, THE HOLD DOWN CLAMPS MUST BE TIGHT AND SECURE. IN RE–INSTAL- LING THE EVAPORATOR SHELL, BE ABSO- LUTELY SURE THAT THE “O” RING IS NOT PINCHED OFF AS THIS WOULD CAUSE A WA- TER LEAK AROUND THE BASE OF THE EVAP- ORATOR.
Add 1/2 oz. “sanitizer” to a gallon of lukewarm wa- ter. With a non–metallic bristle brush, scrub the inte- rior of the ice bin including the under side of the door, and the outside of the ice chute that protrudes into the ice bin.

Inside surface of the ice bin including top and door. Inside surface of the ice maker to include evap- orator section in the ice machine including the top, front panel and evaporator splash curtain. Make sure splash curtain is correctly posi- tioned.
ADJUSTMENT FOR ICE BRIDGE THICK- NESS An ice bridge connecting all cubes is necessary for a proper harvest of discharge of cubes from the evaporator. To increase ice bridge thickness carefully turn adjustment screw counter-clockwise no more than one turn at a time. Wait and check thickness before re-adjusting.
CHECKOUT PROCEDURE FOR HARVEST BIN SWITCHES Turn on the ice machine and move the evaporator curtains(s) away from the evaporator(s). The ice machine should then shut off in approximately 8 seconds. (see detail A). Slowly let the evaporator curtain(s) move back toward the evaporator(s) until the bottom edge of the curtains(s) is at least at the bent edge of the water reservoir or closer to the evaporator.

Cut the suspected sensor wire at least six inches from the thermowell in which it is located. Remove the sensor from the thermowell. Carefully separate the wires and strip the insulation off the end. Pack a glass or container with ice and add some water to make an ice water solution.
NO ICE BEING FORMED ON EVAPORATOR. No water in reservoir – clean or replace float. Pump not running – check sensor & board. Dump solenoid – open during freeze cycle. Refrigeration problems – check for leaks. Dirty Condenser. Hot Gas valve open. Weak compressor.
FLUCTUATING LOW SIDE PRESSURE (MORE THAN 5#). Is TXV bulb tight on top of suction line? Is there a proper charge in unit? Is water running over the evaporator continuously? TXV is faulty. WATER OVERFLOW RESERVOIR. Check water pressure, not less than 20 psi, and not more than 50 psi on Float Valves with no Flow Washer, or 125 psi for Float Valves with Flow Washers..
HIGH HEAD PRESSURE. Is condenser clean. Is fan operating properly? On “water cooled” is water valve adjusted properly? Too high ambient conditions (above 100° F). COMPRESSOR WILL NOT START. Is there power from the board? Is there power from the power relay? Are start components good? Check LRA.
WATER PUMP WILL NOT RUN Is evaporator below 20°F? Is evaporator sensor good? Is pump motor good – Does it run in the “clean” position? Are connections tight on board? Is control board bad? GOES OFF ON #2 BIN NOT FULL Curtain out of adjustment? Bridge too thin –...
