SERVICE MANUAL 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.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 1.2. Reception of the machine Inspect the exterior of the packaging. If it is broken or damaged, complain to the haulier. To checky whether the machine is damaged, UNPACK IT IN THE PRESENCE OF THE HAULIER and make a record on the reception document, or on a separate document, of any damage that the machine may have suffered.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL The air cooled SPIKA MS (modular) ice makers take the air through the back section and drive it off through the two lateral louvers. In the case it is not possible to respect the minimum distances recommended (see the picture in point 3.3) for these machines we recommend to install a water cooled unit.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 2.4. Minimum distance to obstacles Please see below the recommended minimum distances for proper operation and efficient service. COMPACT MODELS MODULAR MODELS 4’’(10cm) 6’’(15cm) 6’’(15cm) 6’’(15cm) FRONT 6’’(15cm) FRONT 4’’(10cm) 29,5’’(75cm) CONNECTION DIAGRAM: The location must allow enough clearance for water drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 2.5. Water supply connection The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and ultimately on the life of the product (mainly in water cooled units). It also will have a remarkable influence on the appearance, hardness and flavor of the ice.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 2.7. Electrical connection It is mandatory to ground the equipment. To avoid possible electric shock on individuals or damages to the equipment, the machine should be grounded pursuant local and/or national regulations as the case may be. The manufacturer shall be held harmless in case of damages arising due to the lack of the ground installation.

SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL Verify that after the final cycle, the frost on the aspiration pipe is at 20 mm (0.78 in) of the compressor. For modular models: Verify the ice slab with the pictures below. In case the thickness sensor needs to be regulated, rotate the thickness adjustment screw CW to increase bridge thickness.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 5. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION -MODULAR MODELS (MS) Initial Start-up: The pump and the drain electrovalve are energized during 30 seconds to empty the water tray preventing the scale build-up in water. Then the pump and the drain electrovalve are de-energized, and the water inlet valve is energized filling the water tray until the water level sensor detects the water reaches the appropriate level.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 5.1. Initial Start-up It is carried out at machine work start in following cases (being all outputs switched off): - when machine is connected to power supply. - when the switch is turned to the ICE position - after a stop due to full storage During start-up...

SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 5.6. Cycle timeout If the production cycle time is more than t10 time without receiving any thickness detector signal (ESP), the next launching phase will be started. If the same thing happens again at the next launching, the machine will stop. * Signaling: Flashing in LE1.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PROCEDURES It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral build up that forms during the ice making process.

SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL d) Remove the auxiliary pipe for drain operations near the pump and empty the water tray. Return it to their original position to avoid water spill. Pipe for drain e) Prepare a solution of an appropriate product for the cleaning of ice machines (lime). Do not use hydrochloric acid.
Page 22
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL Compressor switch h) Disconnect power. Remove the auxiliary pipe to drain and purge out the ice machine scale remover and residue. Replace it. Mix enough cleaning solution (as in point e) to clean parts and interior food zone surfaces. k) Remove shield.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL p) Sanitize all the interior surfaces of the freezing compartment (including the storage bin) applying liberally sanitizer solution, using a cloth or sponge. q) Return shield to its position. r) Connect power and water supplies. s) Fill water reservoir with the sanitizer solution. t) Switch on machine in order to run water pump.
Page 24
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 3) Prepare a solution of an appropriate product for the cleaning of ice machines (lime). Do not use hydrochloric acid. We recommend the use of any NSF approved scale removal product. In modular machines the water bucket is filled automatically so we recommend to prepare a previous solution (for example 1,89 liters(0,15 Gal)) according to the manufacturer’s instructions with the total quantity of product needed for the water tray: 3 liters (0,8 gal) for MS 440 and 6 liters (1,6 gal) for MS 880 and 4,1 liters for MS 400/600 (0,9 gal).
Page 25
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 4) Allow the solution to circulate in the water system for 30-40 minutes and then set the ice-wash switch to the OFF position. 5) To purge out the ice machine scale remover and residue move the ice-wash switch to the WASH (the machine will drain the reservoir and refill it) and then set the ice-wash switch to the OFF position.
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL 14) Return the water tray and shield to their normal positions. 15) Connect power and water supplies. 16) To start a sanitation cleaning cycle, move the ice-wash switch to the WASH position. The machine will drain the reservoir and refill it. Pour the sanitizer into the water reservoir to get a solution as in the point 12 (the volume in the water tray is approximately 3 liters(0.8 gal) for MS 440) and 6 liters (1.6 gal) for MS 880 and 4,1 liters for MS 400/600 (0,9 gal)).
SPIKA SERVICE MANUAL Front grid Back panel 3) Clean condenser using a vacuum cleaner, soft brush or low pressure air. Clean from top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to bend the condenser fins. WATER CONDENSER The water condenser may require cleaning due to scale build-up. The cleaning procedures require special pumps and cleaning solutions.
