Do not use bleach to sanitize or clean the ice machine. Preventive maintenance Periodic cleaning of Follett’s ice machine system is required to ensure peak performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures that follow should be performed at least as frequently as recommended, and more often if environmental conditions dictate.

The Horizon ice machine overview The Follett Horizon ice machine uses a horizontal, cylindrical evaporator to freeze water on its inner surface. The refrigeration cycle is continuous; there is no batch cycle. The evaporator is fl ooded with water and the level is controlled by sensors in a reservoir.
Water system The water level in the evaporator is controlled by a feed solenoid and level detecting sensors. Referencing the diagram below, water sensing rods extend down into the reservoir at the end of the evaporator assembly. The system works via electrical conductivity as follows: One of the longest probes is a common.
Electrical system Normal control board operation The PC board indicator lights provide all the information necessary to determine the machine's status. Green indicator lights generally represent “go” or normal operation; Yellow indicators represent normal off conditions; Red indicators generally represent alarm conditions, some of which will lock the machine off. A fl ashing green light labeled POWER indicates power to the machine.
Even cycling power will not reset a hard error. A soft error can either be automatically reset should the condition rectify, or if power is cycled. Should an error occur, consult the troubleshooting guide in this manual or a Follett service technician.

Refrigeration system Condenser unit operation The condensing unit is weatherproof and equipped to operate in ambient temperatures from –2 0 F to 120 F (–29 C to 48.9 C). The condensing unit is controlled by a low pressure control, which works in concert with a refrigerant solenoid valve on the evaporator module.

Refrigerant replacement requirements 1. Non-contaminated refrigerant removed from any Follett refrigeration system can be recycled and returned to the same system after completing repairs. Recycled refrigerant must be stored in a clean, approved storage container. If additional refrigerant is required, virgin or reclaimed refrigerant that meets ARI standard 700-88 must be used.
“Bin full” detection system The Follett Horizon ice machine incorporates a unique “bin full” detection system that consists of the shuttle and actuator. The shuttle incorporates a fl ag and sensor. Referencing the fi gure below, the normal running position of the fl ag is down, on the sensor.
