Electrical All models must be installed with the correct wire size and type per the National Electric Code. Locate the nameplate on the back of the cabinet and find the numbers for V oltage, Phase, Minimum Circuit Ampacity and Maximum Fuse Size. Either fuses or HACR type circuit breakers may be used.
Plumbing CME1356R and CME1656R May 2001 Page 15 Ice Machine Drain Bin Drain Floor Drain Field Supplied Water Filter Potable Water Source All models require an adequate potable water supply and a gravity drain. The recommendations for tubing are: · Water supply to be 3 8 " OD.
After Utility Connections 1. W ash out the bin. If desired, the interior of the bin could be sanitized. 2. Locate the ice scoop (if supplied) and have it available for use when needed. 3. Switch on the electrical power . Do not start the machine for 4 hours.
Component Location and Function Reservoir: Contains the water used to make ice. W ater Inlet V alve: Opens to allow water into the reservoir . Evaporators/Freezing Compartment: Location of the evaporators. Ice forms on the evaporators, and is released when warmed up during the harvest cycle.
AutoIQ Controller Indicator Lights: · Bin Full: On when bin is full, goes on and off as ice falls during a harvest cycle. · Freeze: On when the unit is in the Freeze cycle, blinks when a freeze cycle is pending. · Harvest: On when the unit is in the Harvest cycle.
Initial Start Up 1. Remove the left front panel. 2. Locate and open the liquid line valve. 3. Double check quick-connect couplings for leaks. 4. Locate the AutoIQ Controller . 5. Connect electrical power . All lights will blink on and off together then, for blue controllers, the two red lights will blink while the Freeze light is on.
Adjustments If there was a problem during Initial Start Up: If a diagnostic light came on, check the following. 1. W ater . A water error could have been determined by the AutoIQ Controller if the inlet water valve does not fill the reservoir or if the water pump does not start and lower the water level in the reservoir .
How To Operate The AutoIQ Controller The AutoIQ Controller is a microprocessor based device that receives input from several sources and switches various components on and off. Its manual control is thru the use of the Push Button Control Switches 1. Freeze Button.
How The Electronic Cuber Works This section is intended for the technician. It is not necessary for the normal operation and maintenance of the machine. Refrigeration System: The refrigeration system is similar to that of most commercial cube ice machines.
How The Electronic Cuber Works W ater System: Freeze: The water pump forces water to the top of the evaporators. The un-frozen water falls thru the cube deflectors and back into the reservoir . As water is turned into ice, the water level in the reservoir falls, and the machine will re-fill the reservoir once during the freeze cycle.
Technicians Only: Freeze Cycle Sequence Assuming the machine has been operational, the Freeze cycle begins with the end of the Harvest Cycle: · Water Inlet Valve is Closed · Water Pump is ON · Compressor is ON · Hot Gas Valve is Open AutoIQ Controller Operation, Beginning freeze: 1.
Technicians Only: Harvest Cycle Sequence & Other Notes Harvest The Purge V alve will be open for 74 seconds. The water pump shuts off, it will restart before 74 seconds, the restart time is based on the Purge Level Setting. The pump restarts and pumps water out of the reservoir until the purge valve closes.
Sanitation and Cleaning It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their water systems with a specifically designed chemical.
Additional Maintenance T o Properly Place the Evaporator Covers Removal: 1. Remove right front panel. 2. Push up on evaporator cover and swing out the base. 3. Use the finger holes to pull the lower inside cover down and swing it out from the machine.
Additional Maintenance: Water Distributors It may become necessary to remove the water distributors from the top of the evaporator and clean (de-mineralize) them outside of the ice machine. 1. Remove front panels. 2. Push and release the OFF button. 3.
Additional Maintenance: Inlet Water Valve Screen The inlet water valve has a screen on its inlet side to keep debris from flowing into the valve. In some cases, this screen may become clogged or restricted by debris build up. Check for the proper water flow: Flow rate is 2.
Additional Maintenance: Ice Sensors, Condenser The ice sensors use a system of infrared emitting and receiving components to sense the build up of ice in the bin. They are located at the bottom of the ice outlet port. They must be free of mineral build up to function properly .
Service Diagnosis: Diagnostic Light Analysis CME1356R and CME1656R May 2001 Page 31 Problem or Symptom Possible Cause Probable Correction Machine is off Bin is full Use some ice Bin thermostat is closed Check thermostat Power is off, check Lights.
Service Diagnosis CME1356R and CME1656R May 2001 Page 32 Problem or Symptom Possible Cause Probable Correction Unit is off because of a “Harvest Problem” Bin controls did not sense ice falling, unit stayed in harvest until the maximum harvest time ran out.
Service Diagnosis: Components CME1356R and CME1656R May 2001 Page 33 Problem or Symptom Possible Cause Probable Correction Fan motor does not turn. Open motor windings, or seized bearings Replace fan motor No power to fan motor Contactor may not close.

CME1356R and CME1656R March 2003 Page 35 PTCR The “D” series cubers use a PTCR (Positive T emperature Coefficient Resistor) in place of a conventional start relay and start capacitor . Power from the contactor connects to the PTCR and to the Run Capacitor A wire connects the other terminal of the PTCR to the compressor ’s start winding.

Refrigerant 1. This ice machine uses R-404A or HP62 as a refrigerant. It has several unique characteristics. A. It is a near-azeotrope, and must be liquid charged. B. It must use polyol ester refrigerant oil, and that oil is very water absorbent. The system must not be open for more than 15 minutes.
Liquid Charging Because R-404A is a near-azeotrope, only liquid refrigerant can be used to recharge the refrigeration system. T o do that may take some special techniques: 1.
