INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
You will get better service from the ice machine, longer life and greater convenience if you choose its location
with care.
1. Select a location as close as possible to where you are going to use the ice.
3. A kitchen installation is not desirable as a rule. If a kitchen installation is necessary, locate the machine as
far away
from the cooking area as possible. Grease laden air will form greasy deposits on the condenser. This re-
duces the ice making efficiency and necessitates thorough cleaning quite often.
4. If you install the unit in a storeroom, be sure the room is well ventilated.
NOTE: Do not install where the ambient and incoming water temperature will drop below 50F or rise to
over 100F.
NOTE: If water pressure exceeds 50 lbs., a water pressure regulator should be installed in water inlet
line between water shutoff valve and strainer. Minimum incoming water pressure required is 22 lbs..
A. Uncrate the unit by removing the staples or nails from the bottom of the carton and lift off.
C. If legs are used, adjust the leveling legs of the storage bin until the unit is level and all four (4) legs are
in solid contact with the floor. Leveling is very important to obtain proper draining.
D. Provide a cold water supply line to the area selected for the installation of the unit. The incoming wa-
ter line should have a shutoff valve provided at a convenient location close to the ice maker. The wa-
ter strainer provided with the unit should be installed on the downstream side of the shutoff valve.
The supply line must be adequately sized to compensate for the lengths of the incoming water run.
The machine is equipped with a 3/8 male flare connection for the incoming water line.
Water cooled units have a water regulating valve that is factory set to operate at 270 to 310 PSIG
head pressure for R404a (water outlet temp. approx. 105F) This should be checked at the time the
unit is being installed.
Two water inlet connections are provided on water cooled units, one for the ice making (evaporator)
section, the other is for the water cooled condenser. Both connections are 3/8 male flare fittings. In-
let water to the condenser will go to the water regulating valve first, then to the condenser coil and out
the drain.
The reason for separate water inlet connections is that some installations use a water tower for cooling
the water used in the water cooled condenser and some installations use treated water for the ice
making inlet water.
A separate drain will be required for the outlet of the water cooled condenser.
E. Provide a suitable trapped open drain as close as possible to the area where the ice maker is going to
be installed. This may be an existing floor or a 1 1/4 trapped open drain. Connect the drain line to
the rear of the unit and run it with a good fall to the open drain. All plumbing must be installed accord-
ing to local codes. The storage bin drains by gravity, and therefore the drain line must maintain a
gradual slope to an open drain and should be insulated.
NOTE: IN SOME CASES IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO INSULATE THE WATER SUPPLY LINE AND DRAIN
LINE. CONDENSATE DRIPPING TO THE FLOOR CAN CAUSE SERIOUS STAINING OF CARPETS OR
HARDWOODS.
5 166240010
F. Connect a drain hose to the condensate drain stub tube.
NOTE: All plumbing must be done in accordance with national and local codes.
NOTE: Make sure the proper voltage and number of wires are provided. See serial plate for this in-
formation.
H. Turn on water supply and observe the water level in evaporator sections which should be no less than
1/4 below the inclined discharge chute opening of the shell.
I. Turn machine on and check for proper voltage and amp draw on the entire unit as well as components
such as the gearmotor and fan motor.
J. Check refrigerant circuit and all plumbing connections for leaks, etc.
K. Check bin thermostat or mechanical shutoff for proper operations. In the midrange the bin thermo-
stat will open at 42 and has a 6 differential.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
WATER LEVEL
2. Adjust float valve to get water level to top seam of the evaporator.
3. Reinstall auger. WATER LEVEL WILL RISE WHEN AUGER IS INSERTED BUT WHEN THE MACHINE
IS TURNED BACK ON AND ICE STARTS BEING MADE, THE WATER LEVEL WILL GO BACK TO THE
ORIGINAL SETTING.
The supply water enters the float chamber through a small orifice. The water level rises and lifts the buoyant
float with it. The float attached to the float arm seats a valve to shut off any further water supply. As water
leaves the float chamber, the level drops along with the float and arm, causing the valve to open and admit more
water. Thus the water level is maintained automatically as the machine operates.
Water now flows through a hose connected to the float chamber and enters the opening of the evaporator shell.
The water level in the shell will rise to the same level that is maintained in the float chamber. The water that is in
immediate contact with the center post evaporator will be reduced in temperature. As a result, freezing occurs
and ice forms on the surface of the evaporator.
As more water is frozen, the thickness of the ice increases until it exceeds the distance allowed between the
evaporator and auger. The auger rotates at a slow speed to wipe off the accumulated ice as well as help it to
the surface. After the ice reaches the surface it is discharged through the top opening in the shell. An ice chute
attached to the shell conveys the ice to the storage bin where it accumulates in the insulated bin until it is used.
The ice will pile up to a point where the bin thermostat tubing is located. When the ice touches this brass tubing,
the unit will shutoff and remain off until enough ice is used or melted to reduce the pile. Any ice that melts will
pass through the drain and drain hose to an open drain.

TYPICAL REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
Heat always flows from hot to cold and therefore, the heat load supplied to the evaporator section by water
gives up its heat to the refrigerant which is at a temperature below the freezing point of water. This refrigerant
now passes through the heat exchanger back to the compressor, as a low pressure vapor.
This low pressure vapor is compressed in the compressor, as it leaves the compressor at a high pressure in va-
por form it enters the top of the condenser. The condenser has a rapid flow of cool air across it which removes
much of the heat from the hot refrigerant vapor.
As the vapor, passing through the condenser, loses heat it condenses back to a liquid since it is still under high
pressure and cooler than when it entered the condenser. The liquid refrigerant then passes through the drier/fil-
ter still under pressure and goes through the heat exchanger where further cooling takes place. As the refriger-
ant leaves the automatic expansion valve, the pressure has dropped, causing the refrigerant to vaporize and boil
off as it picks up heat in the evaporator and since the pressure is low, the refrigerant will be cold.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
As the manual onoff circuit breaker switch is pushed to on, an electrical circuit is completed to the gearmotor
via the circuit breaker gearmotor overload, power relay/contactor, gearmotor delay thermostat and the bin ther-
mostat. After the previous circuit has been completed the condenser fan motor will start as will the compressor
(via the high pressure control, the compressor starting relay and low ambient control).
This switch interrupts power to the entire unit. The switch has a circuit breaker incorporated into its design. This
circuit breaker will trip out in the event the gearmotor draws to high of amps. In such an event the power is inter-
rupted to the unit. To reset the circuit breaker and reestablish power to the unit, push the switch to the off posi-
tion and then back to the on position.
BIN THERMOSTAT
This is electrically in series with the ice making system. when the bin is full, the contact opens, terminating
power to the machine.
Switch contact will open at 450 PSI for R404a breaking the circuit to the compressor. This control is manually
resetable.
This is a current type relay which means as the gearmotor run winding comes on the line, the current draw ini-
tially is relatively heavy through the relay coil (coil is in series with run winding). It then acts like a normal relay
and the N.O. start contact makes, completing a circuit through the start capacitor to the start winding. As the
gearmotor picks up speed, the amp draw through the relay coil drops off allowing the armature to return to its
normal position (start contact opens). This action removes the start winding from the circuit.
POWER RELAY/CONTACTOR
The function of this switch is to maintain condensing pressures at a satisfactory level duringlow ambient condi-
tions. The switch breaks the circuit to the condenser fan motor at 205 PSI and makes the circuit at 275 PSI.
DELAY THERMOSTAT
This thermostat keeps the gearmotor running until the suction line temperature reaches 45 after the full bin
switch terminates power to the power relay.
9 166240010
COMPRESSOR START RELAY
This is a current type relay and contains a N.O. contact which is connected in series with the start winding of the
compressor. The relay coil is electrically in series with the run winding. When power is applied, the compressor
draws high current which sets up a magnetic field in the magnet coil which causes the relay to operate, closing
the relay contact. As the compressor approaches operating speed, the current flowing through the coil de-
creases, permitting the relay contact to open, thereby opening the starting circuit.
POTENTIAL RELAYS
The potential relay is used as a compressor starting relay, The contact in the potential relay is N.C.. The mag-
net coil is connected across (parallel) the start winding and is affected by induced voltage, generated by the start
winding. As the compressor comes up to design speed, the voltage across the relay coil increases and at run-
ning speed is sometimes as much as 2 1/2 times the supply voltage. This voltage sets up a magnetic field
which causes the relay to operate. The starting relay is calibrated to remove the start capacitor (open the start-
ing circuit) at approximately 85% of the motor design speed.
NOTE: BOTH TYPES OF RELAYS ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITHIN VERY NARROW LIMITS OF
VOLTAGE AND CURRENT DICTATED BY MOTOR DESIGN, THEREFORE, WHEN MAKING A REPLACE-
MENT OF A RELAY ALWAYS PROVIDE AN EXACT REPLACEMENT, RECOMMENDED BY THE COMPRES-
SOR MANUFACTURER.
CAPACITORS GENERAL
An electrical capacitor is a device which stores up electrical energy. Capacitors are used with single phase mo-
tors to provide starting torque and improve running characteristics; by feeding this energy to the start winding in
step with the run winding.
Any capacitor has three (3) essential parts, two (2) of which are usually foil plates separated and insulated by
the third part called the dielectric.
Two general types of capacitors are used with electric motors. The electrolytic starting capacitor usually uses a
very thin film of oxide on the metallic plate as the dielectric. The running capacitor usually is of the liquid filled
type.
166240010 10
MAINTENANCE
2. Check water level in the float tank reservoir. Water level should be maintained at the top of the evaporator.
Adjust if necessary. (See illustration and adjustment procedure)
3. Clean the aircooled condenser coil with a stiff brush or vacuum cleaner (See procedure)
CAUTION: CONDENSER COOLING FINS ARE SHARP, USE CARE WHEN CLEANING.
4. Clean the ice storage bin and flush the bin drain at least once a month.
5. If a water conditioner is installed in the inlet water line, change, replace, or clean the filter, strainer or car-
tridge as required.
6. If heavy mineral deposits on the auger and evaporator shell are encountered due to bad local water condi-
tions, follow sanitizing and cleaning procedure.
9. Lift out auger and examine for wear. The corkscrew auger guide bushing pressed into the drive block
should be checked for wear. Replace if loose or if worn flat with auger drive block. If the Helix auger on the
corkscrew auger round bar becomes flat on the inside more than 1/8 of an inch over a length of two inches
or more it should be replaced.
NOTE: HELIX AUGERS DO HAVE MACHINED FLAT RELIEF SURFACES. DONT CONFUSE THEM WITH
WORN FLAT AREAS.
Check the insert in the bottom ring of the Helix auger and replace if excessively worn.
10. Check shell vertical strips for wear. Replace the shell if excessive wear is shown.
13. Check for alignment of ice chute. Make sure chute gasket is not blocking path of ice flow.
14. Check bin thermostat operation. In the midrange position the bin thermostat will open at 42 and has a 6
differential.
11 166240010
SANITIZING AND CLEANING PROCEDURE
2. Turn water off and remove water hose from bottom of float chamber inside of ice bin and allow to drain from
the evaporator via the hose end; or
3. Remove float chamber cover and while holding float up to prevent more water from entering the float
chamber, remove water hose from float chamber and proceed to drain the float chamber and evaporator.
4. With water still off, restore water hose to float chamber and add 1 oz. of sanitizer (see note below). Turn
water on.
5. Remove the bin door, float chamber cover, ice chute trim cover, two thumb screws and chute trim gasket.
6. Using soap, hot water, and a nonmetallic bristle brush or plastic scouring pad, scrub the parts removed in
step 4 as well as the interior of the ice bin, ice chute, thermowell, door tracks, ice bin top, and around bin
opening.
NOTE: Use care when cleaning around thermowell sensing tube; the small capillary is easily broken.
Rinse all parts in clean water.
7. In a 5 gallon bucket, mix a sanitizing solution of 1 oz. of sanitizer to 1 gallon of warm water (100 to 120 F).
8. Place all small, loose parts into the sanitizing solution and allow them to soak for 10 minutes.
9. Using a clean cloth and the sanitizing solution, wipe down the interior of the ice chute, thermowell door
tracks, ice bin top, and around bin opening. Allow to air dry.
10. Reassemble the float chamber cover, ice chute gasket and cover, and bin door.
11. Turn unit switch on and allow machine to make ice for at least 1/2 hour then discard all of the ice. DO NOT
ALLOW ICE WITH SANITIZER IN IT TO BE USED.
WATER TREATMENT
During the freezing process, the impurities in the water have a tendency to be rejected.
However, the more dissolved solids in the water, the more troublesome the freezing operation will be. Bicarbon-
ates in the water are the most troublesome of the impurities. These impurities will cause scaling on the evapo-
rator, clogging of the float valve mechanism and other parts in the water system. If the concentration of impuri-
ties is high, wet mushy ice may be the result.
Parts of the ice maker, that are in contact with the water or ice, may corrode if the water is high in acidity. In
some areas, water may have to be treated in order to overcome some of the problems that arise because of the
mineral content.
IMI Cornelius has water filter/treatment systems available to control imputities found in your water supply. Con-
tact your local dealer for more information.
166240010 12
WINTER STORAGE
If the unit is to be stored in an area where the temperature will drop below freezing, it is most important that all
water lines be drained to prevent them from freezing and possible rupture.
To blow out the water line, disconnect the water supply at the cabinet inlet and use air pressure to force the wa-
ter into the water reservoir pan. This can then be removed from the water pan.
WATER COOLED CONDENSER To remove water from condenser unhook water supply and attach com-
pressed air hose. Start machine. As head pressure reaches the appropriate level opening the water regulating
valve, the compressed air will force the water out. Do not let the machine operate longer than necessary.
In order to produce at full capacity, the refrigeration condenser must be kept clean. The frequency of cleaning
will be determined by surrounding condition. A good maintenance plan calls for an inspection at least every two
months.
Remove the unit compartment grill at the front. With a vacuum cleaner, remove all accumulated dust and lint
that has adhered to the finned condenser.
CAUTION: CONDENSER COOLING FINS ARE SHARP. USE CARE WHEN CLEANING.

In addition to the parts warranty, CORNELIUS will pay scheduled straight time labor to repair or replace a defective component when failure
occurs within one year (12 months) from the date of installation or 15 months from the date of shipment by CORNELIUS whichever time period
elapses first. With respect to the compressor, evaporator, refrigeration condenser, condenser fan motor, and auger gearmotor, the labor
warranty period will be two years (24 months) from the date of installation or 27 months from the date of shipment by CORNELIUS whichever
time period elapses first. Time and rate schedules for labor compensation will be published periodically by CORNELIUS. Additional expenses
including but not limited to travel time, truck charges, overtime charges, material cost, accessing or removal of the ice machine,
normal prescribed maintenance cleaning, adjustments, and ice purchases are the responsibility of the original owner.
No parts warranty or labor allowance on the motor compressor assembly will apply when the ice machines refrigeration system is modified with
a condenser heat reclaim device, or parts and assemblies not provided by CORNELIUS, unless CORNELIUS provides approval, in writing, for
these modifications for specific locations.
The parts warranty shall not apply when destruction or damage is caused by alterations, unauthorized service, using other than factory
authorized replacement parts, risks of transportation, accidents, misuse, damage by fire, flood or acts of God. No components or assembly

replaced must be returned to us through a CORNELIUS distributor/dealer, transportation charges prepaid, and they must be properly sealed
and tagged. The serial and model number of the Machine and the date of original installation of such Machine must be given. The warranty of
repaired or replaced parts will not extend beyond the period of the original warranty. The decision of the CORNELIUS Service Department
regarding the warrantability of parts and eligibility for the labor allowance will be final.
No representative, distributor/dealer or any other person is authorized or permitted to make any other warranty or obligate CORNELIUS to
make any other warranty or obligate CORNELIUS to any liability not strictly in accordance with this policy. This warranty is in lieu of all other
warranties expressed or implied and of all other obligations or of liabilities on our parts.
