* There is no minimum clearance requirement for the top or left and
right sides of the ice machine. The listed values are recommended
for efficient operation and servicing only.
Ice Machine Heat of Rejection
* B.T.U./Hour
** Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making
cycle, the figure shown is an average.
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject
heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the
amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing
air conditioning equipment where self-contained air-
cooled ice machines are installed.
Leveling the Ice Machine
After moving the ice machine into the installation
location, it must be leveled for proper operation. Follow
these steps to level the ice machine:
1. Check the level of the ice machine from front to back
and from side to side.
2. If the ice machine is not level, adjust the leveling
glides on each corner of the base of the ice machine
as necessary.

so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.
Water Service/Drains
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, remove
chlorine, and improve taste and clarity.
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
• Connect to potable water supply only.
• Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water
supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for
other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink
faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
• If water pressure exceeds the maximum
recommended pressure, obtain a water pressure
regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
• Install a water shut-off valve for both the ice making
and condenser water lines (if applicable).
• Insulate water lines to prevent condensation.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to
prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice
machine and storage bin:
• Drain lines must have a 2.5 cm drop per 1 meter of
run (1.5 inch per 5 feet), and must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
• Insulate the bin drain line to prevent condensation.

from that of original manufactured specifications.
Part Number 040001360 6/14 9
Section 3
Operation
Ice Making Sequence of Operation
INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1. Pressure Equalization
Before the compressor starts the hot gas valve is
energized for 15 seconds to equalize pressures during
the initial refrigeration system start-up.
2. Refrigeration System Start-Up
The compressor starts after the 15-second pressure
equalization, and remains on throughout the entire
Freeze and Harvest Sequences. The hot gas valve
remains on for 5 seconds during initial compressor start-
up and then shuts off.
At the same time the compressor starts, the condenser
fan motor (air-cooled models) is supplied with power
throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest Sequences.
The fan motor is wired through a fan cycle pressure
control, therefore it may cycle on and off. (The
compressor and condenser fan motor are wired through
the relay. As a result, any time the relay coil is energized,
the compressor and fan motor are supplied with power.)
FREEZE SEQUENCE
3. Prechill
The compressor is on for 30 seconds prior to water flow
to Prechill the evaporator.
4. Freeze
The water pump starts after the 30-second Prechill. An
even flow of water is directed across the evaporator and
into each cube cell, where it freezes.
When sufficient ice has formed, the water flow (not the
ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After
approximately 7 seconds of continual water contact, the
Harvest Sequence is initiated. The ice machine cannot
initiate a Harvest Sequence until a 6-minute freeze time
has been surpassed.
HARVEST SEQUENCE
5. Harvest
The water pump de-energizes stopping flow over the
evaporator. The rising level of water in the sump trough
diverts water out of the overflow tube, purging excess
minerals from the sump trough. The hot gas valve also
opens to divert hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator.
The refrigerant gas warms the evaporator causing the
cubes to slide, as a sheet, off the evaporator and into the
storage bin. The sliding sheet of cubes contacts the ice
damper, opening the bin switch.
The momentary opening and re-closing of the bin switch
terminates the Harvest Sequence and returns the ice
machine to the Freeze Sequence (steps 3 - 4).
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
6. Automatic Shut-Off
When the storage bin is full at the end of a Harvest
Sequence, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the ice
damper and will hold it down. After the ice damper is
held open for 7 seconds, the ice machine shuts off. The
ice machine remains off for 3 minutes before it can
automatically restart.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice has been
removed from the storage bin to allow the ice to fall clear
of the damper. As the ice damper swings back to the
operating position, the bin switch re-closes and the ice
machine restarts (steps 1 - 2), provided the 3-minute
delay period is complete.
Operation Section 3

Part Number 040001360 6/14
Operational Checks
GENERAL
Your Manitowoc ice machine was factory-operated and
adjusted before shipment. Normally, a newly installed ice
machine does not require any adjustment.
To ensure proper operation, always follow these
Operational Checks when starting the ice machine:
• for the first time
• after a prolonged out of service period
• after cleaning and sanitizing
Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures
outlined in this manual are not covered by the warranty.
SIPHON SYSTEM
To reduce mineral build-up and cleaning frequency, the
water in the sump trough must be purged during each
harvest cycle.
When the water pump de-energizes the level in the
water trough rises above the standpipe starting a siphon
action. The siphon action stops when the water level in
the sump trough drops. When the siphon action stops,
the float valve refills the water trough to the correct level.
Siphon System Check
Follow steps 1 through 6 under water level check.
WATER FLOAT VALVE CHECK
Before water will flow into the water trough the float
valve shut-off must be in the OPEN position.

WATER LEVEL CHECK
Check the water level while the ice machine is in the ice
mode and the water pump is running. The correct water
level is 1/4" (6.3 mm) to 3/8" (9.5 mm) below the top of
the standpipe a line in the water trough indicates the
correct level.
The float valve is factory-set for the proper water level. If
adjustments are necessary:
1. Verify the ice machine is level (see page 4-6).
2. Remove the siphon cap from the standpipe.
3. Place the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch to the
ON position, and wait until the float valve stops
adding water.
4. Adjust the water level to (1/4" to 3/8" [6.3 to 9.5 mm]
below the standpipe) the line in the water trough.
5. Loosen the two screws on the float valve bracket.
6. Raise or lower the float valve assembly as
necessary, then tighten the screws.
7. Move the main ON/OFF/ WASH toggle switch to the
OFF position. The water level in the trough will rise
above the standpipe and run down the drain.
8. Replace the siphon cap on the standpipe, and verify
water level and siphon action by repeating steps 3
through 5.
ICE BRIDGE THICKNESS CHECK
NOTE: During shipping and installation the ice thickness
probe may shift, requiring further adjustment to achieve
the rated energy efficiency and production. The ice
weight per cycle must be within the minimum and
maximum for your ice machine series. Capture and
weigh the ice from the second freeze/harvest cycle. The
target weight is the middle of the minimum and
maximum weight in the chart below.
The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice
bridge thickness at 1/8" (3.2 mm).
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should
be about 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase
bridge thickness, or counterclockwise to decrease
bridge thickness.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will change
the ice thickness about 1/16" (1.5 mm).
Make sure the ice thickness probe wire and the bracket
do not restrict movement of the probe.

slot and slide backward to the stop tab).
• While applying pressure against the bin door pull
down on the rear of each bin door track until the door
pins clear the stop tabs.
• Slide the rear door pins off the end and then below
the door track. Slide bin door forward allowing the
back of the door to lower into the bin. Continue
forward with the bin door until the front pins bottom
out in the track.
• Lift right side of door until the front pins clear the
track, then remove door from bin.
Step 7 Mix a solution of cleaner and warm water.
Depending on 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.
Step 8 Use 1/2 of the cleaner/water solution to clean all
components. The cleaner solution will foam when it
contacts lime scale and mineral deposits; once the
foaming stops use a soft bristle brush, sponge or cloth
(not a wire brush) to carefully clean the parts. Soak the
parts for 5 minutes (15 – 20 minutes for heavily scaled
parts). Rinse all components with clean water.
Step 9 While components are soaking, use 1/2 of the
cleaner/water solution to clean all foodzone surfaces of
the ice machine and bin. Use a nylon brush or cloth to
thoroughly clean the following ice machine areas:
• Evaporator plastic parts – including top, bottom and
sides
• Bin bottom, sides and top
Rinse all areas thoroughly with clean water.
Step 10 Mix a solution of sanitizer and warm water.
Step 11 Use 1/2 of the sanitizer/water solution to
sanitize all removed components. Use a cloth or sponge
to liberally apply the solution to all surfaces of the
removed parts or soak the removed parts in the
sanitizer/water solution. Do not rinse parts after
sanitizing.

Cleaning the Condenser
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces
ice production and shortens component life. Clean the
condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps
below.
1. The washable aluminum filter on self-contained ice
machines is designed to catch dust, dirt, lint and
grease. This helps keep the condenser clean. Clean
the filter with a mild soap and water solution.
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush
or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from
top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to
bend the condenser fins.
3. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains: Blow
compressed air through the condenser fins from the
inside. Be careful not to bend the fan blades.
4. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow
the directions and cautions supplied with the
cleaner.
5. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
6. Carefully wipe off the fan blades and motor with a
soft cloth. Do not bend the fan blades. If the fan
blades are excessively dirty, wash with warm, soapy
water and rinse thoroughly.
Removal from Service/Winterization
Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is
to be removed from service for an extended period of
time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 32°F (0°C)
or below.
Follow the applicable procedure below.
1. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker
or the electric service switch.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Remove the water from the water trough.
4. Disconnect and drain the incoming ice-making water
line at the rear of the ice machine.
5. Blow compressed air in both the incoming water and
the drain openings in the rear of the ice machine
until no more water comes out of the inlet water lines
or the drain.
6. Make sure water is not trapped in any of the water
lines, drain lines, distribution tubes, etc.
