Section 1 General Information Model Numbers ICE DEFLECTOR This manual covers the following models: An ice deflector is required when the ice machine is installed on a bin. An ice deflector is not required when the ice machine is installed on a dispenser.
Section 2 Installation MINIMUM/MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ! Warning PERSONAL INJURY POTENTIAL Remove all ice machine panels before lifting and installing. Location Requirements The location selected for the ice machine must meet the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, select another location. • The location must be free of airborne and other contaminants. • The location must not be near heat-generating equipment or in direct sunlight.
Installation Section 2 Installation Requirements Water Supply and Drains • The ice machine top panel can be trimmed with an aviator snips to allow the line set, water line and electrical connections to exit the top. Only cut out what is needed, the back panel recess sheet metal must support the top panel. POTABLE WATER REQUIREMENTS • The ice machine and bin must be level. Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines: • Vent the ice machine and bin drains separately.

Installation Section 2 Electrical Service GENERAL FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER ! Warning The ice machine head section and condensing unit are wired independently of each other. All wiring must conform to local, state and national codes. A dedicated circuit and a separate fuse/circuit breaker are required for each ice machine and condensing unit. MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY ! Warning All electrical work, including wire routing and grounding, must conform to local, state and national electrical codes.
Section 2 Installation Electrical Requirements Local or state electrical code, length of wire run or materials used, can increase the minimum wire or breaker size requirement. A qualified electrician must determine the wire and breaker size, although the minimum wire size must meet or exceed the specifications in these charts. Refer to the condensing unit serial plate to verify electrical data. Important ! Warning Due to continuous improvements, this information is for reference only.

Installation Section 2 REFRIGERATION LINE SET INSTALLATION The following requirements assure proper oil return. The refrigeration line set installer must be certified/ licensed in refrigerant handling and servicing. 15' (4.5 M) MAX. DISTANCE ! Warning The ice machine head section contains refrigerant charge. The ice machine head section contains refrigeration valves that must remain closed until proper installation of the line sets is completed. ! Warning .
Section 2 Installation Step 4 Connect the line set • Maximum amount of time the refrigeration system can be exposed to the atmosphere is 15 minutes Step 5 Pressure Test and Evacuate Line Set and CVD Condensing Unit • Lineset shutoff valves must remain closed until pressure testing and evacuation are complete. • Schrader valve core removal tools that allow for removal and installation of the valve cores without removing manifold gauge set hoses are recommended to decrease the evacuation time.
Installation Section 2 Step 6 Open Lineset and Receiver Valves You will not hear refrigerant flow when the valves are opened. Refrigerant will not flow until the toggle switch is placed in the ice position and the solenoid valve opens. • All valve caps must be reinstalled, tightened and leak checked to assure no refrigerant leakage exists. • Counterclockwise opens all valves: USE ALLEN WRENCH TO OPEN (TURN COUNTERCLOCKWISE) LIQUID AND SUCTION LINE SHUT OFF VALVES A.
Section 2 Installation Step 7 Leak Check The Refrigeration System A. Connect power to the ice machine head section Do not connect power to the CVD condensing unit. Suction Shut Off Valve Insulation The pre-formed suction shut-off valve insulation is located in the plastic bag taped to the water curtain. . B. Place the ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch in the ICE position for 60 seconds to equalize pressures, then move to OFF position. C. Disconnect power to the ice machine head section. D.
Section 3 Operation Ice Making Sequence of Operation Water Purge Cycle SAFETY LIMITS The ice machine purges any remaining water from the water trough down the drain. Safety limits are stored and indicated by the control board after three cycles. The number of cycles required to stop the ice machine varies for each safety limit. Freeze Cycle Water flows across the evaporator and the refrigeration system chills the evaporator. Ice builds on the evaporator until water contacts the ice thickness probe.
Section 3 Operation Operational Checks ICE THICKNESS CHECK GENERAL After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice storage bin. The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8” (3 mm). Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, new installations do not require any adjustment.
Section 4 Maintenance Descaling and Sanitizing CLEANING/SANITIZING PROCEDURE GENERAL This procedure must be performed a minimum of once every six months. You are responsible for maintaining the ice machine in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty. Descale and sanitize the ice machine every six months for efficient operation.
Section 4 Maintenance Remedial Cleaning Procedure Step 3 Remove all ice from the bin/dispenser. ! Caution Use only Manitowoc approved Ice Machine Cleaner/ Descaler and Sanitizer for this application (Manitowoc Cleaner/Descaler part number 94-05463 and Manitowoc Sanitizer part number 94-0565-3). It is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling. Read and understand all labels printed on bottles before use.
Maintenance Section 4 Step 7 Mix a solution of cleaner/descaler and warm water. Depending upon the amount of mineral buildup, a larger quantity of solution may be required. Use the ratio in the table below to mix enough solution to thoroughly clean all parts. Solution Type Cleaner Water 1 gal. (4 L) Mixed With 16 oz (500 ml) cleaner Step 8 Use 1/2 of the descaler/water mixture to descale all components.
Section 4 Maintenance Detailed Descaling and Sanitizing Procedure Ice machines that are heavily scaled or have not been cleaned on a regular basis will need to run this procedure. Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months for efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified service company to test the water quality and recommend appropriate water treatment. The ice machine must be taken apart for cleaning and sanitizing.
Maintenance Section 4 Step 7 Mix a solution of descaler and warm water. Depending upon the amount of mineral buildup, a larger quantity of solution may be required. Use the ratio in the table below to mix enough solution to thoroughly clean all parts. Solution Type Descaler Water 1 gal. (4 L) Mixed With 16 oz (500 ml) cleaner/descaler Step 8 Use 1/2 of the descaler/water mixture to descale all components.
