Ice Machine Operation

Section 3

QDUAL ONLY
Manual Start Operation

Step 1 Set the toggle switch to the OFF position
after ice falls from the evaporator at the end of a
Harvest cycle. Or, set the switch to the OFF position
and allow the ice to melt off the evaporator

CAUTION

Never use anything to force ice from the
evaporator. Damage may result.

Step 2 To start the automatic cleaning system, move
the toggle switch to the CLEAN position. The water
will flow through the water dump valve and down the
drain. The Clean light will energize to indicate the ice
machine is in the Clean Cycle. Th ice machine will
purge water for two minutes. The water fill valve
will energize and remain energized until water
contacts the water level probe. The AuCS

®

A will

then automatically add cleaner or sanitizer to the ice
machine.

Step 3 The ice machine will automatically time out a
ten minute cleaning or sanitizing cycle, followed by
six rinse cycles, de-energize the Clean light and stop.
This entire cycle lasts approximately 40 minutes.

Step 4 After the cleaning or sanitizing cycle stops,
move the toggle switch to ICE position.

Step 5 The ice machine may be set to start and finish
a cleaning (or sanitizing) cycle, then automatically
start ice making again.

You must wait about 2 minutes into the cleaning
cycle (until water starts to flow over the evaporator),
then move the toggle switch from CLEAN to ICE
position.

After the fluid has been dispensed opening the
curtain (bin switch) will interrupt the AuCS

®

A

sequence. The sequence resumes when the curtain
closes.

When the cleaning cycle (or sanitizing) is completed,
an ice making sequence will start automatically.

Changing Switch Position During

Automatic Operation

If the toggle switch is moved to OFF prior to the
pump dispensing (less than 2 minutes into the cycle)
then switched to:

ICE

A normal ice-making mode begins.

CLEAN A manual clean cycle begins.

(See “Manual Start Operation,” page 3-1.)


If the toggle switch is moved to OFF after the pump
dispenses (more than 2 minutes into the cycle, but
before rinse cycles begin) then switched to:

ICE

The “clean” portion of the cycle begins.

After completion of the 10-minute
“Clean” and 6 rinse cycles, the counter
resets and a normal ice-making mode
begins.

CLEAN A manual clean cycle begins.

(See “Manual Start Operation,” page 3-
1.)

After completion of the 10-minute
“Clean” and 6 rinse cycles, the counter
resets and the ice machine awaits a
change in the toggle switch position.

If the toggle switch is moved to OFF after the 6 rinse
cycles have begun and then switched from off to:

ICE

The rinse portion of the cycle restarts and
continues.

After completion of the 6 additional rinse
cycles, the counter resets and a normal
ice-making mode begins.

CLEAN A manual clean cycle begins.

After completion of the 10-minute
“Clean” and 6 rinse cycles, the counter
resets and the ice machine awaits a
change in the toggle switch position.
