Starting The Machine; Connecting The Appliance To The Power Supply - Icematic N25BI Gebrauchsanweisung

5) Connect machine to water supply first and then to electri-
city supply.
6) Connect the 3/4 " feeding pipe (supplied) to the machine
and to the cold drinking water supply line. It is advisable to
install a shut-off valve (not supplied by CastelMac). (Pict.
nr. 15: 1. switch; 2. socket; 3. electrical plug; 4. water inlet;
5. shut-off valve; 6. water outlet from the condenser: water-
cooled versions; 7. water outlet from the bin; 8. open ven-
ted water drain).
7) Fix a flexible plastic pipe with an inside diametre of 20 mm.
and with adequate length (not longer than 1 metre) to
reach the waste pipe fitting (pict. nr. 15).
WARNING
- Install the machine in a position such that the two
front ventilation grilles are free to allow air to circu-
late and cool the refrigeration unit.
- Do not put the machine in dusty places because this could
cause a fast obstruction of the condenser (only for air-cooled
models) (pict. nr. 20).
- In case the machine is put in areas where drinking water has
a high content of salts in solution follow the instructions of
the manufacturer in order to limit this inconvenience.
- Never keep food, bottles or other things in the bin in order to
avoid that the ice takes bad smells and tastes.
- While the machine is working do not leave the bin door open.

STARTING THE MACHINE

Before starting the ice producer perform the following operations:
1) Look at the pictures.
a) Remove the top by unfastening the relative screws.
b) Free paddle motor, paddles and float by removing the
locks 1, 2, 3, which have been fixed to avoid possible
damages during transport (pict. nr. 16). For the water-
cooled models connect to the water outlet also the se-
cond link which conveys the water coming from the
condenser. For a perfect water outlet from the machine
a minimum incline of 3% of the pipes is advisable.
Check also that the pipes are not throttled or siphoned.
It is advisable that the pipes discharge in an open ven-
ted drain (pict. nr. 15)
2) Connect the machine to the electricity supply after having
checked that the voltage corresponds to that on the plate
on the rear panel of the machine.
The maximum voltage variation should not exceed ± 10%
of that stated on the rating plate. Provide for a feeding circuit
to the machine, with its own double-pale main switch with at
least 3 mm. of contacts opening. The machine should be con-
nected to an independent fuse or suitable power supply with
earth terminal. See rating plate for load requirements (pict. nr.
19). The socket must be easily achievable.
To start and stop the machine, press ON/OFF switch (picture
1). The RESET switch is found in the watercooled models. If
the alarm led switches on, press the RESET button inside the
small door (pic. nr. 22)
The alarm led switches on in case of lack of water due to the
cooling of the condenser or due to condensation problems.
Further instructions about the machine functioning can be
found in the user s manual
Fig. 23 - ON/OFF switch (A)
- Mains power LED (B)
- Alarm LED (C)
WARNING
The machine is equipped with a manual reset safety ther-
mostat. In the event of a machine stoppage indicated by the
red LED (fig. 23), unscrew and remove the thermostat cover
(see fig. 25) and press button 1 to restart.
A DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH MUST BE INCLUDED IN
THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.
CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE
TO THE POWER SUPPLY.
In the event of damage to the power supply cable on the
appliance, have the cable replaced only by a qualified
electrician to avoid any risk of personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not let the device run before our technician's intervention
(pict. nr. 4).
FUNCTIONING
The ice cube-makers are particularly compact thus allowing
to meet any individual furnishing requirements. The ice cubes
form around the fingers of the evaporator, inside a pan filled
with water which is moved by revolving paddles.
The water level is kept constant by a float connected to a
micro that controls a water inlet electrovalve. When the ice
cubes have reached the required dimensions they get in con-
tact with the revolving paddles that swing the relative paddle
motor. Such motor operates by means of a relay controlled by
a micro, which causes simultaneously:
- the delivery of hot gas to the evaporator by the opening
of an electrovalve, with the consequent fall of cubes from
the evaporator;
- the tilting of the water pan controlled by a lever of the har-
vest motor.
The formed cubes fall on a slanting grid inside the pan and
are conveyed into the storage bin underneath.
The remaining water, collected in a pan placed on one side of
the bin, is then conveyed to the drain. The tilting pan automa-
tically returns to its horizontal position after about a minute
and then it fills of water till the selected level. In the meantime
the hot gas valve closes and the ice forming cycle starts again;
the time of a complete cycle can vary from about 15' to about
25' according to water and room temperatures. The ice quan-
tity inside the bin is controlled through a thermostat bulb fixed
on one side of the storage bin; when the ice cubes come in
contact with the bulb, the production of ice is automatically di-
scontinued. Only after enough ice has been removed from the
storage bin so as to free the bulb from the cubes, will the pro-
duction resume.
If you want your cuber to resume production earlier, whe-
never you take some ice out of the storage bin you should
clear the control bulb from any ice cubes which may be in
contact with it.
