Ice Machine Operation 6 Ice Making Operation Depending on ambient conditions and cold water supply temperature, the ice making process will take approximately 30 minutes. 1) Water fill cycle. (Initial start-up or start-up after automatic shut-off.) Before the compressor starts, the water inlet valve will purge old water from the system for about three minutes. 2) Refrigeration system start-up. The compressor starts after the water fill cycle and remains on throughout the freeze and harvest cycles.
Ice Machine Operation 7 subzero.com Operational Checks The ice machine is factory tested and adjusted before shipping. Normally, new installations do not require any adjustment. Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty. To ensure proper operation, follow the operational checks when starting the ice machine for the first time, after a prolonged out of service period and after cleaning and sanitizing.
Ice Machine Operation 8 Operational Checks Cleaning CUBE WEIGHT Proper cleaning and maintenance of your ice machine will increase its reliability and performance and help minimize water and power consumption. Cube weight increases or decreases depending on the amount of dimple in the cube. Refer to the illustration below. The cube weight can be increased from the factory setting by adjusting the finish time. Due to regulatory restrictions, cleaner and sanitizer do not ship with the ice machine.
Ice Machine Care 9 subzero.com Cleaning CLEANING AND SANITIZING Cleaning and sanitizing of all surfaces that come in contact with the water system should be performed every six months. The following steps outline the cleaning and sanitizing procedure with the ice machine in place. Use only the cleaner and sanitizer made for your Sub-Zero ice machine. The cleaner removes lime scale or other mineral deposits and the sanitizer disinfects and removes algae and slime.
Ice Machine Care 10 Cleaning STAINLESS STEEL CONDENSER CLEANING To clean stainless steel surfaces of the ice machine, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner like Signature polish and apply with a soft lint-free cloth. A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production and shortens component life. The condenser should be cleaned every three to six months or after a prolonged shutdown.
Ice Machine Care 11 subzero.com Maintenance WATER FILTER REPLACEMENT PROLONGED SHUTDOWN AND WINTERIZATION The water filter should be replaced every six months or after a prolonged shutdown. To replace the water filter, incoming water does not need to be turned off. The ice machine is equipped with an auto bypass feature which bypasses the filter when it is removed.
Troubleshooting Guide 12 Troubleshooting If your ice machine is not operating properly, use the following troubleshooting guide before contacting Sub-Zero factory certified service. This guide will save you time and trouble and may help you avoid the expense of a service call. Freeze cycle is long, low ice production. • Water temperature is too high. Connect a cold water supply, verify that check valves in faucets and other equipment are functioning correctly. • Dirty condenser.
