  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a ‘Spika Series’ Ice Cube Maker by The Company. 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.
  • Page 5 In order to assure the proper operation and efficiency of this equipment, it is extremely important to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer, especially those related to cleaning and maintenance operations, which should be performed by qualified personnel only. CAUTION: The intervention of non-qualified personnel, besides of being dangerous, could result in serious malfunctioning.
  • Page 6: Reception Of The Machine

    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. Always state the machine number and model.
  • Page 7: Installation

    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 machines are designed to operate at room temperature between 10ºC and 43ºC. There may be some difficulties in ice slab removal under the minimum temperatures.
  • Page 8: Minimum Distance To Obstacles

    2.3.-MINIMUM DISTANCE TO OBSTACLES Please see below the recommended minimum distances for proper operation and efficient service. COMPACT MODELS CONNECTION DIAGRAM: The location must allow enough clearance for water drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice machine.
  • Page 9: Water Supply Connection

    UNDERCOUNTER MODELS 2.4.- 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.
  • Page 10: Drain Force Connection

    Correct Incorrect Incorrect 2.6.2.- DRAIN FORCE CONNECTION This version of drain force allows an installation of the machine where the drain can be located 30 meters horizontally and 1.5 meters high from the machine's water outlet. If the drain pipe runs incorrectly, the pump may not be able to drain the water, because the flow of the pump may be influenced due to the existence of stored air within the circuit.
  • Page 11 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.

    3. PRIOR CHECKING AND START-UP 3.1.- PRIOR CHECKING a) Is the machine leveled? b) Voltage and frequency are the same as those on the nameplate? c) Are the drains connected and operating? d) Will the ambient temperature and water temperature remain in the following range? ROOM WATER MAXIMUM...
  • Page 13 6.- Verify that there are no vibrations or frictions on the elements. 7.- Verify that the water fall to the evaporator is occurring uniformly and all ice cubes are properly watered. 8.- Close door. Verify the ice slab with the pictures below. Adjust the cycle time dip switches (see point 4.1).
  • Page 14: Sequence Of Operation Undercounter Models (Ng)

    4. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION UNDERCOUNTER MODELS (NG) Once you connect the machine there is a time delay of 2 minutes during which the water valve is activated to ensure the water tray is filled. Once the time is up, the compressor starts and the pump which recirculates the water from the water tray to the upper distributor which provides a soft and uniform flow of water over the evaporator cells, in which the water starts freezing.

    4.2.3 ICE PRODUCTION CYCLE TIMEOUT If during the production cycle, evaporator temperature probe has not reached the set temperature Tc in more than 60 min, the machine will stop until reset. * Signalling: Flashing in LE2. 4.2.4 FAULTY TEMPERATURE PROBE If PCB detects that evaporator temperature probe is broken or unconnected, the machine will stop * Signalling: Flashing in LE4.
  • Page 18 The system has a way to evacuate the water inside the water reservoir in a manual way. There is a plug (#9) in one of the plastic tube, by retiring this plug, it is possible to evacuate all the water. Also, the system has a Check valve(#10) that does not allow the water to came back to the water reservoir.

  • Page 22: Maintenance And Cleaning Procedures

    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. Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine is cleaned and sanitized.
  • Page 23 c) Remove the back metal lid and the top panel (if it need be to make easier the cleaning operations). 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 drain e) Prepare a solution of an appropriate product for the cleaning of ice machines (lime).
  • Page 24 h) Disconnect power. i) Remove the auxiliary pipe to drain and purge out the ice machine scale remover and residue. Replace it. j) Mix enough cleaning solution (as in point e) to clean parts and interior food zone surfaces. k) Remove curtain. Curtain l) Clean all surfaces of the curtain with the cleaner solution using a brush (not a wire brush) or cloth.

    2) For undercounter models remove the front grid by pressing the two clips placed at right side (see figure). Front grid 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.
