Installation

Before you begin

• All dispensers must be installed level in both directions to ensure proper operation.
• Service and ventilation clearances: 6″ (15.3 cm) on right side of dispenser, 6″ (15.3 cm) at top for ventilation and 12″ (30.5 cm) at top recommended for service.
• Countertop units installed without legs provide the option of taking utilities out bottom or back of dispenser (on wall mount units and countertop units with legs, utilities exit from back). See counter cutout drawings for bottom exiting utilities. For installations where utilities exit through back of dispenser, refer to back view drawings.
• Counter depth must allow front of sink to be a minimum of 30.00″ (76.2 cm) from wall.

Installing countertop dispensers without legs

1. Position dispenser in desired location, mark dispenser outline on counter and remove dispenser.

2. Regardless of whether utilities will exit through back or bottom of dispenser, drill four 7/16″ holes in counter to anchor dispenser to counter (Fig. 1).

3. For utilities exiting through bottom only:
   ( a ) Make cut out (Fig. 1).
   
   ( b ) Move drain fitting from back of dispenser and mount (Fig. 2).
   
   ( c ) Cut drain tube to length and attach to barbed connection.
   ( d ) Move inlet water fitting from back of dispenser and mount (Fig. 2).
   ( e ) Cut water tubing to length and re-insert into water fitting.

4. For all units: Apply a thick bead approximately 1/4″ (7 mm) diameter of NSF-listed silicone sealant (Dow Corning  RTV-732® or equivalent) 1/4″ (7 mm) inside marked outline of dispenser.

5. Carefully lower dispenser on counter in  proper position and secure to counter with four (4) 3/8″-16UNC bolts.

6. Smooth excess sealant around outside of dispenser.

Installing countertop dispensers with legs accessory (P/N AF10LBLEGS)

CAUTION!

• Do not tilt unit further than 30° off vertical plane.
• Countertop dispensers that sit on legs (not bolted to counter) can be inadvertently moved. Care should be taken when operating and cleaning to avoid accidents.

1. Carefully tip dispenser back to expose underside and block up in place.

2. Screw legs (shipped taped to drain pan of dispenser) into dispenser bottom, takin  care to seat legs securely against undersideof dispenser.

3. Attach bottom panel and hardware to bottom of dispenser with supplied screws (Fig. 3).
   

4. Position unit in desired location and adjust legs to level in both directions.

5. Make final connections.

Cleaning

Follett ice machines and dispensers, and their associated cleaning and sanitizing procedures, are designed for use with potable water sources. The presence, or suspected presence, of infectious agents may call for additional measures, including the replacement of components and more comprehensive disinfection measures. Follett recommends that these cleaning and sanitizing procedures be reviewed with the appropriate infectious agent subject matter experts to assure complete remediation.
Periodic cleaning of Follett’s ice and water dispenser and ice machine system is required to ensure peak performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures that follow should be performed at least as frequently as recommended and more often if environmental conditions dictate.
Follett recommends sanitizing the pressurized water lines prior to cleaning the ice machine/dispenser. Follett offers two kits: order P/N 01089572 when a Follett filter system with a pre-filter bowl is present, or P/N 01089580 when a Follett filter system is not present. Follow the instructions provided with the respective kits to sanitize thepressurized water lines immediately before cleaning the ice machine/dispenser.
Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning of the ice machine system should be performed by your facility’s trained maintenance staff or a Follett authorized service agent. Regardless of who performs the cleaning, it is the operator’s responsibility to see that this cleaning is performed according to the schedule below. Service problems resulting from lack of preventive maintenance will not be covered under the Follett warranty.

**Recommended cleaning intervals***

Ice Machine and Dispenser

Cleaning procedure

Note: Check drains and drain cup to ensure they are open and flowing freely.

1. If ice machine was running recently, ensure that the evaporator is completely free of ice before proceeding. If there is ice in the evaporator, complete steps 2-7 using only hot water to remove the ice then begin Cleaning Procedure again.

2. Remove front cover and turn OFF bin signal switch.

3. Dispense all ice from storage hopper and discard.

4. Remove top of machine and hopper lid.

5. Press CLEAN switch. The MAINTENANCE light will turn on and the machine will drain. Wait for the LOW WATER light to turn on.

6. Remove lid from cleaning cup and fill (about 1 quart) until SafeCLEAN Plus solution overflows from the ice transport tube into the hopper. Place lid back on cup. Save remainder of SafeCLEAN Plus solution.

7. CLEANER FULL light will turn on and machine will start cleaning cycle then rinse three times; this process takes approximately 15 minutes.

8. While ice machine is cleaning, clean dispenser as follows:
   a. Remove center thumbscrew, locking plate, two wingnuts and backing plate from front of storage hopper.
   b. Remove stud assembly, baffle, wheel, and any remaining ice.
   c. Remove dispense chutes from splash panel.
   d. Submerse drain grille in SafeCLEAN Plus solution and allow to soak to remove any scale buildup.
   e. Wipe inside of hopper lid, stud assembly, baffle, wheel, inside of storage area, dispense chutes, drain grille and drain pan with damp cloth wrung out in SafeCLEAN Plus solution. Thoroughly rinse all parts with damp cloth wrung out with clean  water.
   Note: To avoid possible damage to motor assembly, only use a damp cloth to clean storage hopper. Do not allow water to run through motor shaft hole in bottom of hopper.

9. When machine is finished cleaning, the MAINTENANCE light will turn off.

10. Reinstall dispense chutes, wheel, baffle, stud assembly and knurled nuts.

11. Remove top bearing insulation. Loosen Phillips-head screw on nozzle connected to evaporator. Remove nozzle from evaporator side only, leave other side of nozzle connected to transport tube.

12. Soak one SaniSponge in remaining SafeCLEAN Plus solution.

13. Insert the sponge soaked in SafeCLEAN Plus solution into nozzle then insert a dry sponge into the nozzle.

14. Replace nozzle onto evaporator and tighten screw. Ensure drain is connected to reservoir and vent tubes are connected to evaporator drain pan. Replace top bearing insulation.

15. Turn ON bin signal switch. Wait for ice to push sponges through transport tube.

16. Collect sponges from ice storage bin.

17. Replace hopper lid, machine top, and install front cover.

18. After 10 minutes, dispense all ice and discard.
