DELIVERY & UNPACKING Upon receipt, thoroughly inspect the packing container. If there appears to be damage to the container contact the shipper immediately. Unpack unit in the presence of delivery personnel noting any damage on the waybill. Packing bears the “Green Point” on all mode ording to the European Directives on management of Packaging and Waste Disposal.
INSTALLATION The ice cube maker is delivered on a small wooden pallet and is protected with a cardboard box and packaging. Loosen the cardboard box by cutting the straps, then lift vertically. After having removed the packaging, make sure the machine is complete. If in doubt do not use it and go to the distributor who sold it to you.
access to condenser and/or water pressure valve, allow sufficient space at front of the machine. Be sure that flooring is firm and even. Water and Drainage Water quality influences ice hardness, flavour, and quality as well as condenser life. Keep in mind the following points: a) WATER IMPURITIES: Major impurities are eliminated by filters provided.
Connecting Unit To Drain (Water Cooled Models) •Drain must be located at least 150mm. below machine level. Drain tube must have an inner diameter of 30mm. with a minimum gradient of 3 cm per metre. Electrical connection • Unit is provided with a 1.5 m cord and Schucko socket. •...
IMPORTANT! Supply socket must be properly earthed. Be sure to check standard for country where appliance is going to be installed. OPERATION Preliminary Check a) Is machine levelled? b) Are voltage and frequency of main supply the same as indicated on rating plate? c) Is drainage system functioning? d) Is air circulation and room temperature adequate? (Air-cooled models) ROOM TEMPERATURE...
IMPORTANT! Be sure voltage and frequency of main supply correspond to indicated levels on rating plate. ADVISE THE FINAL USER ON MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED IN WARRANTY, AS WELL AS THOSE BREAKDOWNS CAUSED BY NEGLECT OF PROPER MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. ADJUSTMENTS Condenser water valve pressostat (UP TO Q 40S C WATER COOLED)
Pressure Control Fan pressostat (air condensation) Pressure Control operates on high pressure by starting and/stopping fan. Differential is fixed. (1Kg/cm2 or 14 Psi.) Cut-off pressure must be 16 Kg/cm2 (228 Psi) Low pressure values may cause gearbox malfunction. Pressure values higher than 16 Kg/cm2 may shorten compressor life and diminish ice production. Pressure can be regulated by rotating screw on Pressure Control Valve (clockwise to increase pressure).
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT! **Maintenance and cleaning procedures as well as problems derived from failing to carry them out are not covered by the warranty. Proper maintenance is essential to obtain favourable ice quality and optimum function of unit. Frequency depends on water quality and characteristics of room where unit is installed.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PROCEDURES WARNING: Unit should always be disconnected during maintenance/cleaning procedures. Water Condenser 1) Disconnect machine. 2) Close water faucet. 3) Disconnect water entry/exit from condenser. 4) Prepare a solution of 50% phosphoric acid in distilled water. 5) Distribute solution through condenser. (Solution is more effective at 35°-40°C). WARNING! DO NOT USE HYDROCHLORIC ACID Air Condenser...
3) Hold agitator paddles so that water pan releases water. 4) Once the water pan returns to its horizontal position again, switch off the machine. Pour 3 litres of water and one half of di-caloid lr) into water pan 5) Allow the solution to work for 20 or 30 minutes, occasionally turning the paddles by hand so that they are also cleaned.
Checking for water leaks This must be done whenever maintenance is carried out on the machine: check all water connections, braces, tubes and hoses in order to eliminate leaks and prevent breakages and flooding. Check that the valve closes tightly on models with an automatic cleaning system. SPECIAL ADVICE CONCERNING R-404 REFRIGERANT •...
