Dispenser Construction and Operation

The MID200 series dispenser consists of an ice storage bin with an outlet spout, a motorized

stirring bar to keep the ice from bridging in the bin and to move ice to the outlet spout when

dispensing and an operating ice stop in the spout opening to deflect ice past the spout during

agitation cycles and allow ice out when dispensing. Working in conjunction with the ice stop, an

ice outlet cover seals the opening of the ice spout when the unit is not dispensing.

A sink with a space to locate an ice bucket is provided on the front of the dispenser. The sink

platform has openings to allow any missed or overflow ice to pass through to a catch pan, which

is located at the bottom of the dispenser. The pan also catches the melt water from the ice bin

and directs it to the drain.

Note: The dispenser must be operational when the ice machine is in place and begins to

make ice. Allowing the dispenser bin to fill with ice, without the dispenser being

operational, may cause damage to the dispenser. The dispenser must also be operational

whenever there is ice in the bin, even if the ice machine is not operating. If the dispenser

must be disconnected from the power source for more than a short time, the bin should

be emptied first.

In normal operation, when power is initially provided to the dispenser, the stirring bar will turn for

a few seconds. This is the initial agitation cycle and it will repeat periodically to keep the ice

moving and fluid in the bin, when ice is not being dispensed. A timer determines the length of

the agitation cycle, as well as the time between cycles. This will continue as long as the

dispenser is energized.

Pushing the ice button will cause the stirring bar to turn and the ice stop to open. Ice will then

be directed to the sink area.

Note: Dispensing should never occur without an ice bucket or other suitable vessel in position

to catch the ice.

Adjustments

There are three adjustments available on the dispenser. One is for the limit switches that

determine the movement range of the ice stop. The bin thermostat can also be adjusted to turn

off the ice machine when ice contacts it. Chain tension is also adjustable. These are set at the

factory and should not normally require attention unless parts are replaced or damaged.
