Pre-Installation Checklist

• Location: Floor drain available – A floor drain for the dispenser should be available. We recommend that you vent the drain at the back of the dispenser to reduce buildup of algae and improve drainage. Drain tubing should be 1/2″ I.D. at minimum.
• Location: Avoid heat sources – Avoid placing the ice machine near heat sources such as radiators, heating vents and direct sunlight. Avoid placing air-cooled ice machines in kitchens, due to grease, flour, or other particles, which can collect on the condenser and fan blade, increasing ice machine maintenance and reducing ice machine efficiency.
• Location: On a solid floor – The dispenser and ice maker should be sitting on a good, solid, level floor or surface.
• Location: Do not obstruct traffic – The dispenser should not extend from the wall in a way that obstructs traffic through the area.
• Electrical – Proper electrical voltage is available. Receptacle is available and within six feet.
• Clearances for top and both sides of ice machine – Use clearances specified in the ice machine’s Installation, Use and Care Manual.
• Clearance behind ice machine for dispenser and drains – The location must allow enough clearance for the water and drain connection at the rear of the dispenser.
• Back of ice machine to be flush with back of dispenser – This allows installation of the supplied mounting clip (metal plate) which secures the ice machine to the dispenser.
• Separate drains – a separate drain line is required for the ice machine, in addition to a drain line for the S Series Dispenser. Vent all drain lines.
• Water filtration – Water filtration is strongly recommended in order to increase the performance of the ice machine and reduce maintenance costs.

For full information about ice machine installation, including plumbing lines, connections and electrical requirements, see the ice machine installation manual.

Warning: Never use an extension cord. If an electrical outlet is not within six feet, have proper amperage outlet installed. The dispenser must be grounded in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

Sequence of Operation
The operation of the S Series ice dispenser can be divided into three main operations. They are Dispenser Activation, Ice Pick-Up and Ice Delivery.

DISPENSER ACTIVATION
Dispenser activation can be accomplished with a number of different mechanisms.

• Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) Activation – User pushes the Rocking Chute, which energizes a microswitch. The energized microswitch engages the gearmotor.
• Room Key Card Activation – User places their hotel room key card into a slot on the dispenser. The room key card activates the microswitch. The user then presses the Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) for ice dispense. This action activates the gearmotor.
• Coin Operated Activation – User places one quarter into dispenser. The quarter activates the coin mechanism. The user then presses the Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) for ice dispense. This action activates the gearmotor.

DANGER: Do not operate equipment that has been misused, abused, neglected, damaged, or altered/modified from that of original manufactured specifications. 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 concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do not allow children to play with, clean or maintain this appliance without proper supervision.

ICE PICK-UP
When the customer activates the dispenser, the gearmotor inside the dispenser begins to turn.
The gearmotor shaft is attached to the paddle wheel inside the bin of the dispenser. As the paddle wheel turns it picks up ice from the dispenser bin. The paddle wheel will bring the pocket containing the ice to the top of the travel area.

ICE DELIVERY
When the paddle wheel pocket reaches the top of its travel, the ice falls from the paddle wheel to the ice chute opening of the dispenser bin. The bin chute then directs the ice to the door assembly dispensing 2-3 oz. of ice per second.
If the door closes before all the ice is dispensed, some ice may be held back by the door assembly. If the door is open, the ice will fall through the door and the ice chute. The ice chute will direct the ice into the customer’s container.

NOTE: Dispense Opening: Height 11″ (28 cm), Width 14″ (36 cm)
Model SFA-191/291 is equipped with an optional water valve. When the water valve lever is pressed, water flows through the system to the water valve nozzle.

Room Key Card Activation

1. User places ice bucket under ice chute.
2. User places their hotel room key card into a slot on the dispenser which is labeled “Insert Room Key Card”. The room key activates the microswitch.
3. The user then presses the Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) for ice dispense. Pushing the ice chute activates the gearmotor.

The room key card must stay in the slot for the microswitch to remain activated.

Coin Operated Activation

1. User places ice bucket under ice chute.
2. User places one quarter (U.S. currency only) into dispenser.
3. The user then presses the Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) for ice dispense.

Pushing the ice chute activates the gearmotor. Ice will dispense for up to one minute for each 25 cent activation per factory setting.

Important: Coin Operated Activation will accept U.S. quarters only. No other coin is accepted and no change is returned to the user. To allow use of Canadian coins refer to instructions in this manual.

Adjustments

ADJUSTING THE COIN MECHANISM TIMER

1. Remove the control box cover. On the inside of the control box there is a white instruction label which shows how to set intervals for coin mechanism dispense times.
2. Inside the control box, the coin mechanism timer is to the left. The ice agitation timer is to the right.
3. With a small Phillips head screwdriver, adjust the coin mechanism timer. For timer adjustment reference information, see below or refer to the white instruction label inside the control box cover.
4. The timer is factory set at the midpoint for 60 seconds of dispense time. The adjustment pot can be set (counterclockwise) for as low as 12 seconds of dispense time. The adjustment pot can be set (clockwise) for as high as 120 seconds of dispense time.

ADJUSTING THE COIN MECHANISM FOR CANADIAN COINS

Important: Canadian quarters are magnetic. Therefore the magnet inside the coin mechanism must be removed so Canadian quarters will drop through the coin mechanism.

1. Remove the front panel of the dispenser. The coin mechanism can be changed while in place in the dispenser door, as shown above.
2. Pivot the coin magnet housing section away from the rest of the coin mechanism.
3. Using a small screwdriver, loosen the set screw which holds an aluminum plate in the coin magnet housing.
4. Remove the aluminum plate.
5. Using a metal screwdriver tip, pull out the magnet from the magnet housing. (The back side of the magnet has the stronger magnetic attraction.)
6. The aluminum plate and magnet have now been removed from the coin magnet housing. Pivot the empty coin magnet housing section back into place.
7. Reinstall the front door of the dispenser.

Agitation Timers
The agitation timer is standard equipment for the floor standing dispenser. The purpose of the timer is to periodically agitate the ice in the bin to prevent congealing.

TIMER WITH BLINKING LED
The LED tells the technician in which mode the timer is operating. Rather than a jumper pin, this timer has a female spade connector that must be connected to terminal number 6.

• When this jumper is in place, the LED will blink at one-second intervals. This is the run mode.
• When the jumper is open, the LED will flash every 4/10ths second. This is the test mode and the timer will cycle every 55 seconds in test mode. Remember to replace the jumper when testing is complete. If the timer is left in test mode it will automatically reset to run mode.

When installing this timer into existing equipment, make sure to verify correct wiring of the timer. Some older equipment may require a wiring change. Check the yellow wire from the ice dispense switch (rocking chute) to the number two terminal of the timer. With this timer, the yellow wire leaves the ice dispense switch from the NC terminal of the switch.

TIMER WITH TEST PINS
The timer is equipped with test pins. This allows you to test the timer by removing the jumper between the two pins.

The timer is non-adjustable and is set to agitate the ice for three seconds every three and one half-hours. Activating the dispenser will reset the timer. After 3.5 hours of non-use the timer will energize the dispenser motor.

To check for correct function of the agitation timer, use the following procedure:
The agitation timer is located at the front of the dispenser in the control box, on the left side of the ice chute.

1. Remove the jumper between the two pins.
2. The timer will cycle every 55 seconds.
3. If the timer does not cycle every 55 seconds, replace the timer.
4. Replace jumper after testing.

Caution: Never operate with jumper removed. Damage will occur.

Maintenance

Warning: Dispenser is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be used and must not be cleaned by a water jet.
