Condensers and Air Filter Cleaning

Filters and Air Cooled Condenser
The air filter located on the lower front grill will capture
airborne dust during operation. As the dirt builds up, it
begins to restrict air flow and causes the refrigeration
system to work less efficiently. Clean the air filter
regularly.
Remove the filter by sliding it to the right until it is clear
of the ice machine.
Note: It is a snap fit and the snaps may be very tight.
Pull hard with two thumbs.
Remove dust and dirt by washing the filter in a utility
sink.
Reinstall filter in the ice machine.
CAUTION
Condenser
The condenser fins require semi annual cleaning. Use
caution to prevent damage to the condenser fins.
Lightly brush dust from the condenser.
Use a vacuum to thoroughly clean the condenser.
Rotating fan blade can
cause personal injury.
Unplug unit from power
supply before beginning
to clean condenser

Water cooled equipment may be connected to a
closed loop recirculating system or to a regular water
supply. See the pressure limits on page 2.
The included water regulating valve will vary the
amount of water or coolant needed to maintain
a constant discharge pressure. Higher coolant
temperatures will result in increased coolant flow to
maintain the discharge pressure set point.
That pressure is factory set to 135 PSIG. If needed, it
may be field adjusted to that set point. An access port
to the adjustment stem is available on the lower back
panel.
In areas with highly mineralized water, the inside
of the condenser may become coated with scale.
When that occurs the amount of water used by the
condenser will increase, as the water regulating valve
opens further to keep the discharge pressure at the
set point.
Scale on the inside of the condenser may be cleaned
by circulating an acid solution with an auxiliary pump.
