INTRODUCTION This manual has been created to provide the installer with information to carry out a correct installation and for the effective maintenance of the machine. Furthermore, the user will find in the document a section referring to the cause of possible incidents, as well as complete information on their resolution.

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 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 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. 2.7. ELECTRIC CONNECTION •...
PRIOR CONTROL AND START-UP 3.1. PRIOR CHECK Is the machine level? Do the voltage and frequency match those on the nameplate? Are the drains connected and working? Are the ambient temperature and water temperature maintained in the following range? ATMOSPHERE WATER MAXIMUM 43ºC/109.4ºF...
3.3. START UP Once installation instructions have been followed (ventilation, site conditions, temperatures, water quality, etc.), proceed as follows: 1. Remove the top cover 2. Open the water inlet, check that there are no leaks and that the water level is correct. 3.
4. DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS 4.1 REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT 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).
4.2 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.
5.2.2 Modular machine hydraulics Buoy probe Bucket Overflow Drainage Inlet valve collector 5.2.3. Drainage While the machine is on, there is water that needs to be evacuated by gravity: • melt water from the ice melting in the ice bin. •...
5.2.4 Water level control The function of the water level is to maintain the necessary flow of water in the evaporator and, with the incorporated micro-magnet, to stop the operation of the machine until the water reaches the tank again. The optimum level is located on the horizontal line indicated in the figure, and its regulation is carried out following the indications in the figure.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Electrical board Motor-Reducer (R) / Motor-technical protector (Pt) Pressure switches 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". •...
5. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1. Switch the machine on at the power switch. When pressed, the machine is timed for 10 minutes of start-up. During the start-up time, the entire hydraulic circuit is filled with water up to the buoy. The water in contact with the walls of the evaporator freezes, and the ice that forms is scraped off by the SPINDLE (endless) which also pushes it upwards, forcing it to come out of the mouth and fall into the tank.
7- ALARMS They detect malfunctions. They are indicated by flashing lights on the control panel. In some alarms, an automatic reset is carried out and if this does not work, the machine will stop. To perform a manual reset, the main switch must be turned off and on. 7.1 MAGNETO-THERMAL PROTECTOR OR CIRCUIT BREAKER Protects the motor from current peaks to prevent overheating of the motor windings.
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.

1. Let the water flow for two to three minutes. Once the evaporator is completely empty, reconnect the hoses to the evaporator and to the water tank. Prepare a 50% solution of phosphoric acid and water, or use an anti-scale cleaner such as ICETECH's Calklin.

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION Check if valve is blocked Clean or replace it Ice storage is flooded Pump is broken Replace pump Refrigerant leakage. Locate leak, repair and refrigerant recharge Defective compressor. Replace compressor Expansion valve closed or clogged or Open valve passage or replace valve Everything works, but it doesn't make capillary clogged.
