Installation Instructions Removing Drain Plug and Leveling the Ice Storage Bin 1. Remove threaded plug from drain fitting. 2. Screw the leveling legs onto the bottom of the bin. 3. Screw the foot of each leg in as far as possible. ! Caution The legs must be screwed in tightly to prevent them from bending.
The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity is not the ice machine’s running amp load.) The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.
Section 2 Self-Contained Electrical Wiring Connections Warning These diagrams are not intended to show proper wire routing, wire sizing, disconnects, etc., only the correct wire connections. All electrical work, including wire routing and grounding, must conform to local, state and national electrical codes.
Installation Instructions Remote Electrical Wiring Connections Warning These diagrams are not intended to show proper wire routing, wire sizing, disconnects, etc., only the correct wire connections. All electrical work, including wire routing and grounding, must conform to local, state and national electrical codes.
Section 2 Water Supply and Drain Requirements WATER SUPPLY Local water conditions may require treatment of the water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and remove chlorine odor and taste. Important If you are installing a Manitowoc Arctic Puref water filter system, refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the filter system for ice making water inlet connections.
Installation Instructions WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN LINE SIZING/CONNECTIONS ! Caution Plumbing must conform to state and local codes. Location Water Temperature 35°F (1.6°C) Min. Ice Making Water Inlet 90°F (32.2°C) Max. Ice Making Water Drain 40°F (4.4°C) Min. Condenser Water Inlet 90°F (32.2°C) Max.

Manitowoc Ice, Inc., unless specifically approved in writing by Manitowoc Ice, Inc. SV1204 2-16 GUIDELINES FOR ROUTING LINE SETS First, cut a 2.5" (6.35 cm) circular hole in the wall or roof for tubing routing.
Section 2 CALCULATING REMOTE CONDENSER INSTALLATION DISTANCES Line Set Length The maximum length is 100' (30.5 m). The ice machine compressor must have the proper oil return. The receiver is designed to hold a charge sufficient to operate the ice machine in ambient temperatures between -20°F (-29°C) and 120°F (49°C), with line set lengths of up to 100' (30.5 m).
Installation Instructions LENGTHENING OR REDUCING LINE SET LENGTHS In most cases, by routing the line set properly, shortening will not be necessary. When shortening or lengthening is required, do so before connecting the line set to the ice machine or the remote condenser. This prevents the loss of refrigerant in the ice machine or condenser.
The ice maker has a condenser fan motor circuit for use with a Manitowoc condenser. It is recommended that this circuit be used to control the condenser fan(s) on the multi-circuit condenser to assure it is on at the proper time.
Section 2 Installation Check List Is the Ice Machine level? Has all of the internal packing been removed? Have all of the electrical and water connections been made? Has the supply voltage been tested and checked against the rating on the nameplate? Is there proper clearance around the ice machine for air circulation? Has the ice machine been installed where...
Installation Instructions Before Starting the Ice Machine All Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, new installations do not require any adjustment. To ensure proper operation, follow the Operational Checks in Section 3 of this manual. Starting the ice machine and completing the Operational Checks are the responsibilities of the owner/operator.

Freeze and Harvest Sequences. The water fill valve is energized at the same time as the compressor. The harvest valve(s) remains on for 5 seconds during initial compressor start- up and then shuts off.
Section 3 HARVEST SEQUENCE 5. Water Purge The harvest valve(s) opens at the beginning of the water purge to divert hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The water pump continues to run, and the water dump valve energizes for 45 seconds to purge the water in the sump trough.
Ice Machine Operation Operational Checks GENERAL Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, new installations do not require any adjustment. To ensure proper operation, always follow the Operational Checks: • when starting the ice machine for the first time •...
Section 3 HARVEST SEQUENCE WATER PURGE The harvest sequence water purge adjustment may be used when the ice machine is hooked up to special water systems, such as a de-ionized water treatment system. Warning Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the electrical disconnect before proceeding.

Section 4 Evaporator Tray Removal 1. Remove the water trough. 2. Remove thumbscrew on left side of tray. 3. Allow left side of tray to drop as you pull the tray to the left side. Continue until the outlet tube disengages from the right side.
Maintenance Water Inlet Valve The water inlet valve normally does not require removal for cleaning. Refer to Section 5 for a list of causes for “No Water Entering Water Trough” or “Water Overflows Water Trough. 1. When the ice machine is off, the water inlet valve must completely stop water flow into the machine.
Section 4 Removal from Service/Winterization GENERAL Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is to be removed from service for an extended period of time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or below. ! Caution If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine in freezing temperatures, severe damage to some components could result.
