Installation Steps

  1. Check to see if the ice machine is in good condition and the accessories are all present; check the machine model and the machine nameplate.
  2. Clean the ice storage bin and the food area inside with a sponge soaked in warm water and soap. Then rinse with potable water and dry.
  3. Place the ice machine in the operation area; ensure that the machine is placed on a leveled floor so the water flows evenly into the evaporator.
  4. The compressor chamber is located below the front of the ice bin where the compressor and condenser are installed. It requires good ventilation so the ice maker must have ventilation space of more than 8" in the rear, 6" on the sides, and 12" in the front.
  5. The bottom of the ice machine is equipped with adjustable legs for level adjustment and clearance for floor cleaning.
  6. Connect the machine's inlet water filter and water line referring to the installation instructions of your water filter brand; if the installation site is already equipped with a drinking water system, the water filter may not be needed.
  7. Connect the machine to the water supply using the 3/4" inlet fitting supplied with the machine. It is recommended to install a water ball valve (not supplied with this machine) on the water supply line.
  8. Connect the drain line to the drain connector. To achieve a proper draining, it is recommended that the drain pipe should have a difference in level of more than 1" per 3': and confirm that the

Startup and Operation

  1. Before you start up the machine, please check and confirm:

  2. That the packaging tape inside the ice machine has been removed;

  3. The accessories or items in the ice bin have been taken out;
  4. The ice machine has been adjusted to a leveled state;
  5. The water line has been connected and the water valve is open;
  6. The plug has been connected to the power supply and the power switch is off.
  7. The ambient temperature, water temperature, and pressure of the water supply meet the above requirements.

  8. Start up: turn on the power switch. After power-on, the machine begins to make ice automatically.

  9. For normal operation, please confirm:

  10. There is water in the water trough and no overflow occurs;

  11. The pump is working properly and water is flowing evenly in the evaporator;
  12. The compressor is running normally, the temperature of the evaporator and the ice making water is gradually decreasing;
  13. For air cooled machines, make sure the fan is running normally, and there is stable air flow in the inlet and outlet of the ice machine;
    • The ice machine has no abnormal noise;
    • The ice machine has no abnormal vibration:

Operation Instructions

  • Startup: after proper installation, connect the water source and turn on the power supply to turn on the machine. Please confirm that the machine is operating normally when you turn it on for the first time.
  • Self-check: with power on for the first time, the ice maker will do a self-check and pump out any remaining water.
  • Preparing: after the ice machine has finished the self-check, the inlet valve opens and the inlet water will flow in until it reaches the set level; then the ice maker will defrost one time.
  • Ice making: after pre-cooling for 30 seconds, the water pump starts, the water flows through the evaporator smoothly and evenly, the ice cubes are gradually formed in the ice cube tray.
  • Ice Harvest (Drop): after the ice making process finishes and the water pump is turned off, the defrosting valve is turned on. After the hot gas enters into the evaporator for about 1-2 minutes the ice cubes slide from the evaporator into the storage bin.

Warning: Do not put your hand into the ice storage bin during the ice-falling process to prevent the ice from hitting your hand!

- Shutdown: The ice maker will stop working when you push the "on/off" button on the control panel during the running process.

General Information

The 194HBN12022 22"W and is designed to use an Avantco Ice 194MC35022HA/FA or 194MC42022HA/FA cube ice machine as the source for ice production.

The 194HBN18030 is 30"W and designed to use an Avantco Ice 194MC50030HA/FA cube ice machine as the source for ice production.

Ice from the cuber falls into the insulated hopper, where it is stored until needed. When a user pushes the dispense chute a rotating wheel scoops the ice up to the top front of the hopper where there is an outlet to the ice chute.

Product Description

All models consist of a plastic lined, insulated hopper mounted to a metal base. The hopper contains a 15 blade plastic dispense wheel and a stainless steel sweep arm. The top front of the hopper has a removable door to facilitate maintenance and cleaning of the hopper without removal of the ice machine.

The dispense wheel and sweep arm rotate when the dispense drive motor is actuated. The drive motors actuation is controlled by the agitation timer or the vend switch. When the ice dispense chute is pushed back it moves the actuation lever up. The actuation lever releases the chute door and pushes the vend switch arm up. When the vend switch arm has moved a preset distance the vend switch contacts close, providing power to the dispense drive motor. Ice is delivered to the top end of the ice chute by the dispense wheel and it slides down the chute to the container below.

The container rests on a grill, the grills openings are over the ice catch pan, and any spilled ice goes there. The grill has a flange at the front to help contain the ice if spills during vending. After the ice dispense chute is released, the ice chute door closes to stop ice flow. Ice in the chute will eventually melt. Melted ice water Ven is routed to the drain through a

Unpacking

After removing the carton, check for the loose-shipped parts packed in the storage bin. The parts will include a carton with four legs. Remove the leg carton and any other loose-shipped items.

To remove the skid, place part of the carton behind the unit and tip the unit on its back. Remove the bolts holding the skid to the base of the HBN dispenser and separate the skid from the unit.

Install the legs into the base of the unit, using the holes where the skid bolts were. Turn the leg leveler part of the legs in all the way, adjust them later after the unit is in its final installed position.

Move the dispenser to an upright position and set it in the location where it will be installed. Note where drain lines and electrical connections will be made.

FrontPanelRemoval

The front panel rests on the base and is located with pins that stick up from the base. It is retained to the side panels by strikes and latches. The top panel keeps the front panel from moving forward.

To remove:

  1. Disconnect electrical power.
  2. Remove the two screws holding the top panel to the dispenser. Lift the top panel up and off the dispenser.
  3. Pull the top edge of the front panel forward until the two snaps disengage.
  4. Lift the front panel up and off the base.

Drain:

All models of the dispenser have a 3/4" FPT drain fitting at the bottom of the back panel. Connect 3/4" rigid tubing to this connection, a vent is recommended for most installations. Route the drain tubing to the building drain.

Note: Drain gittmaterial is plastic. If using copper, sweat the copper tube to copper fitting together before installing on the dispenser.

Note: Keep PVC solvent away from all plastic parts of the dispenser.

Followwallapplicableplumbingcodes. Because the drain tubing will be very cold, insulation is recommended for the tubing.
