Installation Requirements

The ice dispenser must be installed indoors and the location should be free of airborne contaminates including any corrosive elements.

Note:

Consult ice machine instructions for proper installation requirements, before determining the location of the ice dispenser.

Installation site ambient temperatures below 90°F (32°C) are recommended for proper operation. Higher than this maximum specification will result in increased melting of ice in the dispenser.

The location must not be near anything that can contaminate the dispenser or the ice inside.
The location must not be near heat generating equipment.
The ice dispenser should be mounted on the legs provided and leveled by screwing the leg adjusters in or out as required. If the legs are not used, shim the bottom of the dispenser as required to make it level. Seal any gaps at the floor with approved sealant or use cove molding for larger gaps.
The installation location must be capable of supporting the weight of the ice machine and dispenser, with a full bin of ice.

Installation Requirements

Plumbing

The drain hose or pipe must not be reduced in size from the equipment to the drain. The building drain must be able to accommodate all the drain water from ice making and storage.
Individual drains from ice machines, dispensers and bins must never be directly connected to a common manifold, drain or standpipe unless a minimum 1.5” (38mm) air gap is provided at each connection. This is to prevent backflow of drain water into the ice maker, dispenser or ice bin.
NOTE: Installation must always provide adequate backflow prevention and comply with applicable federal, state and local codes.
Drain lines will be installed with a minimum drop of 1/4” per ft. (2.1cm per meter) run. Drain lines may be insulated to prevent condensation.

Electrical

All KOLD-DRAFT models are intended to be installed with a permanent connection to the field electrical supply. See rating plate on the back of the machine for power supply requirements.
The dispenser must be connected to a separate protected circuit with no other loads.
Fused disconnects, installed adjacent to the dispenser, are recommended and may be required by local codes. These components must be supplied by the installer.
Electrical service must fall within the voltage tolerances listed below:

Electrical Table

Maximum Overload Protection must be no greater than specified. The minimum circuit ampacity specified does not indicate a typical running current value. Use the minimum ampacity value for sizing branch circuit conductors up to 26 feet (8 meters) in length. For a conductor length over this length, increase the wire gauge as required by code.

Dispenser Construction and Operation

The HD200 series dispenser consists of an ice storage bin with an outlet spout, a motorized stirring bar to keep the ice from bridging in the bin and to move ice to the outlet spout when dispensing and an operating ice stop in the spout opening to deflect ice past the spout during agitation cycles and allow ice out when dispensing. Working in conjunction with the ice stop, an ice outlet cover seals the opening of the ice spout when the unit is not dispensing.

A sink with a space to locate an ice bucket is provided on the front of the dispenser. The sink platform has openings to allow any missed or overflow ice to pass through to a catch pan, which is located at the bottom of the dispenser. The pan also catches the melt water from the ice bin and directs it to the drain.

Note: The dispenser must be operational when the ice machine is in place and begins to make ice. Allowing the dispenser bin to fill with ice, without the dispenser being operational, may cause damage to the dispenser. The dispenser must also be operational whenever there is ice in the bin, even if the ice machine is not operating. If the dispenser must be disconnected from the power source for more than a short time, the bin should be emptied first.

In normal operation, when power is initially provided to the dispenser, the stirring bar will turn for a few seconds. This is the initial agitation cycle and it will repeat periodically to keep the ice moving and fluid in the bin, when ice is not being dispensed. A timer determines the length of the agitation cycle, as well as the time between cycles. This will continue as long as the dispenser is energized.

Pushing the ice button will cause the stirring bar to turn and the ice stop to open. Ice will then be directed to the sink area.

Note: Dispensing should never occur without an ice bucket or other suitable vessel in position to catch the ice.

Adjustments

There are only two adjustments available on the dispenser. One is for the limit switches that determine the movement range of the ice stop and the other is chain tension. Both of these are adjusted at the factory and should not normally require attention, unless parts are replaced or damaged.

Maintenance and Service Information

Ice Dispenser Cleaning Procedure

It is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure a minimum of twice per year

Note: The frequency of the need for cleaning is determined by the supply water characteristics. The dispenser should be cleaned no less than once every 6 months and it may require more frequent cleaning. The requirement for sanitizing frequency may be described in local health code regulations. Remove all ice from the dispenser before starting the cleaning process. Always clean the ice machine first, following the ice machine cleaning instructions.

Empty the dispenser and disconnect the power to the dispenser and ice machine.
Remove the ice machine skin panels, drain pan, chute and deflectors, if present.
Wash the interior of the bin with a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda per quart of clean water (140°F / 60°C max.). The bin is accessed through the front of the ice machine. Use a long handled brush to reach the bottom of the bin and to clean the stirring bar.
Wash the interior of the sink with the baking soda solution and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Remove the front cover of the dispenser to access the spout and drain pan. The spout should be removed for thorough cleaning in the baking soda solution. Rinse with clean water. Wash the interior of the drain pan with the baking soda solution and wipe dry with a clean cloth
Sanitize all ice contact surfaces, including the ice spout and spout closure with a solution of 1 teaspoon of 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) per quart of clean water (minimum 100 PPM free chlorine). A spray bottle will facilitate this process. Pour the unused sanitizing solution down the dispenser bin drain.
Replace the ice spout, dispenser front panel and ice machine skin panels before reconnecting the power supply. Exterior surfaces may be cleaned by using standard methods suitable for stainless steel.

Storage and Winterization

Remove all ice from the dispenser, disconnect the electric power supply and clean and sanitize the dispenser.

Removal from Service

When the ice dispenser is determined to be no longer useable, please be sure that it is rendered safe for storage or disposal. All applicable recycling measures should be exercised to avoid injury or harm to the environment.

Neither the manufacturer nor seller is responsible for any harm or damage to people, animals, property or the environment caused by improper installation or disposal.
