1. General Information and Installation Instructions
1.1 Introduction
The Electronic Cubers are quality designed, engineered and manufactured.
Their ice making systems are thoroughly tested providing the utmost in flexibility to fit the needs of a particular user.
These icemakers have been engineered to our own rigid safety and performance standards.
The VDE – SEV – WRC seals signify that it is listed with them and that it complies with the materials and manufacturing standards of them.
Note. To retain the safety and performance built into this icemaker, it is important that installation and maintenance is conducted as
outlined in this manual.
1.2 Unpacking and Inspection.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the packaging and pallet. Report any damage to the delivery carrier and your distributor.
2. a) Cut and remove the plastic strip securing the carton to the pallet.
b) Cut open the top of the carton and remove the polystyrene protection sheet.
c) Pull out the polystyrene posts from the corners and then remove the carton.
3. Remove the front and rear panels of the unit and inspect for any concealed damage. Report the damage to the distributor.
4. Remove all internal support packing and masking tape.
5. Check that refrigerant lines do not rub against or touch other lines or surfaces, and that the fan blade moves freely.
6. Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the surfaces inside the storage bin and the exterior of the cabinet.
7. See the data plate on the rear of the machine and check that the local mains voltage corresponds with the voltage specified on the plate.
CAUTION. INCORRECT VOLTAGE APPLIED TO THE MACHINE WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
1.3 Location and Leveling.
Warning. This Ice Cuber is designed for indoor installation only. Extended periods of operation at temperatures exceeding the following
limitations will constitute misuse under the terms of the Manufacturers Limited Warranty resulting in Loss of warranty coverage.
1. Position the machine in the selected permanent location. The criteria for the location includes:
a) Minimum room temperature 10°C (50°F) and maximum room temperature 40°C (100°F°
b) Water inlet temperatures: minimum 5°C (40°F) and maximum 40°C (100°F)
c) Well ventilated location for air cooled models. Clean the air cooled condenser at regular intervals.
d) Service access: adequate space must be left for all service connections through the rear of the ice maker. A minimum clearance of 15cm
(6in) must be left at the sides of the machine for routing cooling air drawn into and exhausted out of the compartment to maintain proper
condensing operation of the air cooled models.
NOTE. With the machine in ‘built-in’ conditions, the ice product is gradually reduced in respect of the levels shown in the table, up to a maximum
of 10% at room temperatures higher than 32°C.
The daily ice-making capacity is directly related to the condenser air inlet temperature, water temperature and also the age of the machine.
To keep the CUBER at peak performance levels, periodic maintenance checks must be carried out as indicated in the Cleaning Section of this
manual.
2. Level the unit in both left to right and front to rear directions.
3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
See data plate for current requirements to determine wire size to be used on electrical connections. All ice makers require solid earth wire.
The ‘F’ series ice machines are supplied from the factory pre- wired and are fitted with a suitably fused thirteen Amp UK plug. The FCI models
have a power cable that requires electrical connections to be made to the cable at the back of the machine, making sure that it is connected to
its own circuit and individually fused (see data for the correctly fuse size).
The maximum allowable voltage variation should not exceed –10% and +6% of the data plate rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning
and may be responsible for serious damage to the overload switch and motor windings.
NOTE. All external wiring should conform to national, state and local standards and regulations.
Check voltage on the line and the ice machines data before connecting the unit.
1.4 Water Supply and Drain Connections.
GENERAL.
When choosing the water supply for the ice cuber consideration should be given to:
a) Length of run.
b) Water clarity and purity.
c) Adequate water supply pressure.
Since water is the most important single ingredient in producing ice you cannot emphasize too much the three items listed above.
Low water pressure below 1bar may cause the malfunction of the machine.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to produce cloudy coloured ice cubes, plus scale build-up on parts of the water system
WATER SUPPLY.
Connect the male fitting of the solenoid water inlet valve, using the flexible tubing supplied, to the cold water supply line with regular plumbing
