Location:
The unit can be built into a cabinet as the air flow is in and out the front. The front of the machine must not be blocked. Certain maintenance or repair procedures will require removal of the top, back and side panels, so plan ahead for service and maintenance needs.

Unpacking and setup
Remove all shipping and packing materials that may be in the ice storage bin.
The unit can be installed with or without legs. The cabinet is equipped with small bumpers on the base to allow placement without legs. An optional floor mounting kit is also available to fill the gap between the machine and floor if not using legs. If using legs, carefully tip the machine and install the legs by screwing them into the leg sockets in the bottom of the machine. For reference, the thread size is 5/8 – 11. If the machine has been tipped onto its side or back allow 1 hour before starting the unit for the oil in the refrigeration system to return to the compressor.
Place the machine in its intended location and level it front to back and left to right. If using legs, adjust their feet in and out to level the cabinet.
If legs are not used the bottom edges of the cabinet must be sealed to the floor.
No additional means of support are needed.
If built into a cabinet, the adjacent cabinet walls will provide the means for containment. There are no means for attachment to the cabinet.

Component Location

Connect the water supply
Plumbing information:
There is a single 3/4 gas BNF inlet water connection and a connecting hose is supplied.
Note: New connecting hose is supplied do not reuse old hose set.
- A hand actuated valve within site of the machine is required to isolate the unit when being serviced.
- The machine has a built-in back flow preventer (an air gap between the end of the water inlet hose and the top of the water), no additional back flow preventer is needed.
Units that are built into a cabinet:
Include a loop or coil of tubing between the water supply and the connection on the ice machine. When the machine is pushed back into the cabinet the tubing will coil and not kink.
Connection Information:
WARNING: connect to potable water supply only.
Important: Open the hand water valve to flush water through the tubing before connecting to the ice machine.
230 volt models: Connect cold potable water to the 3/4 gas fitting on the unit using the supplied hose.
Note: Do not use a piercing-type saddle valve to connect to the building's water supply. Valves of that type restrict water flow and clog easily.
Connect the drain
The drain connection is at the back panel. The fitting size is 3/4 FPT. Connect rigid tubing to this fitting and vent it at the machine, use an 8 inch or 200 mm vertical tube for the vent.
Drain tubing must slope down from the ice machine to the building drain and the slope must be at least
1/4 inch per foot or 20 mm per meter. Insulating the drain tubing will reduce condensation and is recommended for environments that have high humidity.
Due to the potential for leaks, condensate pumps are not recommended.

New Hose Set
Drain - Must be Vented
Connect the power
This is a cord-connected unit, and must be connected to its own dedicated power supply. Check the dataplate on the back of the machine for the proper voltage and per the dataplate use fuses or HACR circuit breakers.
Power Cords:
230 volt, 60 Hz models are equipped with a 14136 power cord and plug.
Note: In case the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a like cord. Replacement cords are available from the manufacturer's local representative. Replacement should only be done by a qualified technician to prevent possible risks.
The power cord plug will be the disconnect means for the machine and must be accessible when the unit is in its permanent location.
Follow All Local Codes - This Unit Must Be Grounded. Do not use extension cords and do not disable or by-pass ground prong on electrical plug.
Plug the power cord into the power supply.

Ice Thickness Diagram Ice Bridge Thickness Adjustment



Adjustment Indicator Lights
Each push and release of the + or - button will change the lights that glow or blink indicating a change in ice size or harvest time. Example: pushing + one time changes a blinking light to steady on type. If the lights are on steady a single push of + will add one more light to the right and it will blink. There are 10 settings. All 5 lights on steady is the maximum setting and one blinking light is the minimum.
Refer to the Ice Thickness Diagram for proper ice size.
Adjust by pushing the + sign or – sign on the ice bridge adjustment section of the control panel. Changing bridge thickness should be a one-time adjustment as the machine will automatically maintain that ice thickness.
Harvest Cycle Time Adjustment
After ice has formed in the inverted mold, it must be released so it can be deposited in the storage bin section. The harvest cycle is when that occurs, and must be long enough for the ice to release. While the harvest cycle length is self adjusting it can also be manually adjusted if needed.
Proper harvest time is when the ice falls into the bin and there is about 10 seconds extra harvest time (pump and fan are off) before the freeze cycle restarts.
If the harvest time is too short to release the ice, the time may be increased by pushing the + sign on the harvest time adjustment section of the control panel. Operate the machine for another cycle to confirm that the adjustment was correct. Note that too much harvest time will slightly decrease making ice capacity.
Initial Start Up
- Remove the front panel by removing the two screws holding it to the cabinet and pulling the panel down and off the machine.
- Turn on the water supply, correct any leaks.
Note: Water supply MUST be turned on first to allow water to enter the machine properly.
- Locate the On/Off/Wash master switch.
- Move the switch to the On position.
- Ice bridge thickness and harvest time indicator lights will switch on. They will not change unless the cube size or harvest times are manually adjusted. The timer light will also be on.
- The unit begins to fill the reservoir with water. Two streams of water can be seen behind the curtain. The compressor and hot gas valve will be energized, but the fan motor and pump will be off. After a time the water will have filled the reservoir but will continue to fill and excess water will drain from the machine. This is normal and helps the machine from forming excessive mineral scale.
- After 2 minutes the water and hot gas valves will close and the pump and fan motors will start. A blue light in the control panel will glow indicating the beginning of the freeze cycle.
- Warm air will begin to blow out the left front of the machine and water will spray up at the inverted ice making mold. It is normal for a small amount of water to drip from the ice making area.
When the water temperature reaches a pre-set point the water pump will stop for about 30 seconds then resume.
Freezing then continues for many minutes until the temperature of the refrigeration system drops to a set point, indicated by a yellow light glowing on the control panel. In colder rooms the fan motor may turn on and off. After the yellow light switches on the freeze cycle continues for seven more minutes. At that time the unit changes to the ice release or harvest cycle. During the ice harvest the hot gas valve and inlet water valve are open, while the pump and fan motors will stop. The blue and yellow lights will go out. Water will refill the reservoir.
- Within a minute or so the ice formed in the mold will fall down and slide into the ice storage bin. The ice will release as a group so all of the ice formed will fall at once and the next freeze cycle will begin in a few seconds. The timer light may switch on at the end of the harvest cycle.
- Check the thickness of the ice connecting the cubes to each other, that connection is known as a bridge and it should be about 1/8 inch or 3 to 4 mm thick. It is preset from the factory and should be satisfactory.
Adjustments:
If the ice bridge is too big or too small, the thickness may be adjusted.
Note: The bridge thickness adjustment is used to obtain the CORRECT size, not to adjust to individual preferences. Do NOT make the ice bridge too thick or too thin, as either will reduce ice making capacity. Do NOT attempt to adjust the machine to release individual cubes. There is only ONE correct size.
- Ice making will continue until the ice level reaches the metal tube in the storage bin, when ice contacts that tube the machine will stop making ice. This can occur in any part of any cycle.
- Removing ice from the ice storage bin will restart the ice making process.
- Check for and correct any water leaks from the unit or drain system.
- Return the front panel to its normal position and secure it to the cabinet with the original screws.
Typical Cycle Times (minutes)
Note: First cycle after any restart will be longer than listed here.
| 70/50°F. (21/10°C.) 90/ | 70 °F. (32/21°C.) | |
| CUR0415 2 | 8-30 34-37 | |
| CUR0715 1 | 6-18 23-26 | |
| CUR0920 1 | 4-16 17-19 |
The time to fill a warm storage bin from empty varies by cabinet temperature and cycle time, but will take about 10-12 hours.
Use and Operational Notes
To use, simply lift the door by its bottom edge and slide it up and into the top of the machine. Use the scoop to remove ice and close the door.
The machine will make the most ice if it has plenty of room to breathe. This is an air cooled product and it must be able to take in room air and discharge air heated by the ice making process. Blockage of vents or exposure to excessive heat will reduce the ice making and storage capacity. The storage bin is insulated but not refrigerated, so ice will melt during use. That is normal and assures that fresh ice is available in the bin.
The fan will make some noise during operation, however rattles and other vibrations are not normal and should be attended to. When the air temperature surrounding the machine is cold, the fan might cycle on and off during the freeze mode.
If the machine is in a space colder than the minimums listed it will not switch on to make ice.
Minor adjustments may be made to compensate for local conditions by rotating the adjustment screw visible above the control area. If in a cold room, CW rotation changes the control to COLDER to fill the bin higher.
If installed at an altitude greater than 2000 ft or 610 meters above sea level, the bin thermostat may need internal adjustment. The adjustment screw is behind the front of the control, accessed through a hole for it

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Maintenance
Regularly vacuum the right side of the air cooled condenser with a brush to remove all loose dust and dirt. Be careful not to damage the fins.
Cubed ice machines of this type make ice that is more pure than the water supplied to it. Since the ice has fewer impurities, the water that remains in the reservoir has more. The water system dilutes that concentration but eventually it does build up and need to be removed. Over the years it has been determined that the scale removal frequency is about 2 times per year.
To remove scale from the water system.
Materials needed:
Food grade, nickel safe scale remover for ice machines, also known as ice machine cleaner.
- Sanitizer
- Hand tools.
- Clean bucket
- Clean cloths
• Rubber or plastic gloves

- Pour any excess sanitizer down the ice machine bin drain.
- Pour 2.5 quarts or 2.4 liters of warm (95°F/35°C to 115°F./46°C) water into the reservoir by adding it at the reservoirs' front lip.
- Move the master switch to the Wash position for 1 minute, then switch it to Off.
- Drain the reservoir by removing the drain plug and draining the solution into the bin. Return the drain plug to its normal position.
- Move switch to the On position. The machine will resume normal ice making.
- Return the front panel to its original position and secure it with the original screws.
Before calling for service
No ice – check water supply
No ice – check power supply. Remove front panel, if there are no lights on the control panel either the bin thermostat is open OR there is no power to the controller.
No ice – check temperature of cabinet. If too cold the machine will not operate.
Slow production – check condenser for dirt, clean condenser.
Slow production – check temperature of cabinet, if the room is hot or air flow restricted, production will be slow.
Ice is poorly formed. Check spray. If some spray jets are restricted, ice will be poorly formed. Clean water system to correct.
Note: In areas where the water supply has a high mineral content, the spray jets may need frequent clearing. Increasing the harvest time will flush more water and help to reduce the frequency of cleaning.
To increase harvest time:
- Confirm unit is in ice making mode. If the bin is full and the unit is off the controller cannot be adjusted.
- Remove the front louvered panel.
- Increase the time by pushing the + sign on the harvest time adjustment section of the control panel. Each push increases the time.
- Return the front louvered panel to its normal position.
