It is mandatory to connect the equipment to ground to avoid possible electric shocks to people or damage to the equipment. The machine must be grounded in accordance with local and/or national regulations. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility in the event of damage occurring due to the lack of ground installation.
In case of refrigerant leak: • Do not generate a flame in the surroundings of the appliance. • Do not turn on/off switches or connect/disconnect plugs in the area of the appliance. • Do not use a direct flame. • Immediately ventilate the area of the appliance by opening doors and windows.

Check that the installation kit inside the machine is complete and includes: • Shovel • ¾ inch water inlet hose • 22mm drain hose • Filter gasket • User manual • Warranty CAUTION: All packaging elements (plastic bags, cardboard boxes and wooden pallets) must be kept out of the reach of children, as they are a source of potential danger.
INSTALLATION 2.1. ICE MACHINE LOCATION This ice maker is not designed to be used outdoors. The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other equipment that produces a lot of heat. Compact IQ machines are designed to operate at ambient temperatures between 10ºC and 43ºC (50ºF and 109ºF) and inlet water temperatures between 5ºC and 35ºC (41ºF and 95ºF).
2.2. ICE MACHINE LEVELING Use a level on the top of the ice maker to ensure the equipment is perfectly level. Screw the leveling feet into the bottom of the ice maker as far as they will go. Place the machine in its final position.
Connection diagram: The location should allow sufficient clearance for water drainage and electrical connections at the rear of the ice machine. 2.5. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION The quality of the water supplied to the ice maker will influence the time between cleanings and ultimately the life of the product (mainly on water-cooled units).
2.6. DRAIN CONNECTION 2.6.1. GRAVITY DRAINAGE The drain must be located lower than the level of the machine, at least 150mm. It is advisable that the drain hose be 30mm in inner diameter and with a minimum slope of 3cm/meter. 2.6.2.
2.7. ELECTRIC CONNECTION • It is mandatory to connect the equipment to ground. To avoid possible electric shock to persons or damage to the equipment, the machine must be grounded in accordance with local and/or national regulations, as applicable. • The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility in the event that damage occurs due to the lack of ground installation.

Blue PE 1 • Push button to turn the machine on: the blue LED indicates that the machine is ON (it can be on timer, producing ice or stopped).
5. DESCRIPCIÓN DE COMPONENTES 5.1 EQUIPO DE REFRIGERACIÓN It consists of the following components: - Compressor. - Condenser. Air or water. - Evaporator. Vertical tube with cooling jacket. They are kept filled with water and, inside, a worm screw scrapes and removes the ice that forms. - Thermostatic expansion valve (capillary in smaller models).
5.2 HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT • Water inlet valve. Controlled by the control board; supplies water from the tank. • Water tank/basin. Maintains the water level inside the evaporator using the communicating vessels principle. Stainless steel electrodes signal the control board to maintain the internal level. An overflow allows drainage to prevent internal spillage in case of malfunction and serves as a drain plug for the tank.
5.2.3. Drainage by pump (only for compacts) While the machine is on, there is water that needs to be evacuated: • melt water from the ice melting in the ice bin. • water from the drain valve that empties the system. •...
5.2.4 Water level control The water level control system is carried out directly by the conductivity signal at the short electrode LW. Two electrodes of different lengths (as shown in the illustration below) are placed in the water tank, from which an analogue conductivity signal (LW) is generated once the water reaches the short electrode.
5.3 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Motor-Reducer (R) / Pushbutton Motor-technical protector (Pt) panel outside Water level electrodes (Lw) Solenoid drain valve (EV) Pressure Water inlet solenoid switches valve (EW) Compressor • Geared motor (R): is a mechanical assembly consisting of an electric motor coupled to a speed reducer. They reduce the input speed and multiply the torque based on the gear ratio "i".

8. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PROCEDURES It is the responsibility of the user to maintain the ice machine and ice storage bin in a hygienic condition. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral buildup that forms during the ice making process.
8.1 CLEANING OF AIR CONDENSER 1. Disconnect the power supply of the machine. 2. Close the water inlet valve or the faucet. 3. Clean with the aid of a vacuum cleaner, non-metallic brush or low-pressure air. 4. Open the water inlet valve or faucet. 5.
8.4 CLEANING CYCLE In this operating mode of the machine, it is used to clean the hydraulic circuit (evaporator, tank and feed pipe). There is no cold generation and therefore the compressor will be deactivated during the whole cycle. First of all, the water inlet tap must be closed. For emptying and cleaning, proceed as follows: •...
8.4.1 Decalcification process First, close the water inlet tap and leave the machine in Stand-by (button PE1 in red ), which is activated pressing and holding the PE1 button on the display for 7 seconds. When activated, it starts only the geared motor R for 30 minutes, during which time the user fills the bucket with the cleaner (50% phosphoric acid and water, or use an anti-scale cleaning product such as ITV's Calklin.
