SPIKA SERIES 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a ‘Spika Series’ Ice Cube Maker by ITV. You have purchased one of the most reliable ice-making products on the market today. Carefully read the instructions contained in this manual since they provide important information relative to safety during installation, use, and maintenance.
SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES 1.2. Reception of the machine Inspect the outside packing. In case of damages, make the corresponding claim to the carrier. To confirm the existence of damages, unpack the machine in the presence of the carrier and state any damage on the equipment on the reception document or freight document.
SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES 2. INSTALLATION 2.1. Placing of the ice maker This ice maker is not designed for outdoor operation. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing equipment. The SPIKA machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 41ºF (5ºCF) and 109.4ºF (43ºC).
SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES 2.3. Installation of modular equipment on top of bins Modular ice makers should be installed on top of bins, following the instructions contained in this manual. The resistance and stability of the container-machine/s assembly should be verified as well as the fastening elements.
SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES CONNECTION DIAGRAM: The location must allow enough clearance for water drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine.

SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES 3.2. Start-Up Once the installation instructions are followed (ventilation, site conditions, temperatures, water quality, etc.), proceed as follows: 1.- Open the water inlet. Verify the no existence of leakages. 2.- For under counter models open the door and remove the protection elements on the shield. For modular models remove the two locking screws on top of machine, take off the front panel and remove protection elements on the shield and also on the thickness sensor.
SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES 4. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION UNDER COUNTER MODELS (NG) Initial Start-up: It’s recommended that the first time the machine is started (or the water tray has been emptied) it begins with the harvest sequence to ensure the water tray is filled. Freeze sequence: The compressor is energized.
SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES remove mineral deposits. After this (water pump and drain electro valve de-energized) the water inlet valve is energized filling the water tray until the water level sensor detects water reaches the level. The ice slab slides off the evaporator and into the bin. The momentary opening and re-closing of the shield indicates the harvest sequence has finished and goes to the freeze sequence.

SERVICE MANUAL SPIKA SERIES Harvest Outputs: - Compressor (C). It is still in operation. - Hot gas valve (GC). It is active during the whole operation launching time. - Pump (B) and wast water valve (EP) are active during time t6 - Water inlet valve (EW) is activated when time t6 is over (when the pump is stopped) *LE1 on The harvest ends when the ice sheet falls down and the curtain micro contact (MC) is activated.
