Foster F300 Ice Maker User Manual


 
10) 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) to the
water feed pipe. If
the feed water
contains impurities,
the installation of a
filter system is
recommended. If the
water is particularly hard, i.e.
rich in minerals and their derivatives, the
application of a suitable water filter is
recommended, preventing any scale
deposits blocking the water circuit of the
machine (Fig.18).
11) Fit the flexible drain pipes to the
icemaker and the storage bin ensuring
there is adequate fall on the pipes to avoid
the drain water backing up. 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 vented drain (Fig.18).
Warning!
It is expressly forbidden for the users of
the equipment to carry out the following
operation or those marked by the sym-
bol, Such operations must be performed
exclusively by qualified personnel.
1. Electrical connections
2. Water mains connections
3. Machine installation
4. Machine test run
5. Repairing machine components and parts
6. Disassembly of machine and/or
components
7. Adjustment and setting procedures
8. Machine cleaning and maintenance relative
to the following parts and components:
Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical,
Cooling System
Models 200 KG, 300 KG,
The icemaking machines
are approved by VDE, GS
and the relative symbols
are put on the packing,
serial plate and body of
the machine (Fig.10).
Note
Before installing the machine make
sure that:
a) the room temperature must not fall
below 10˚c (50˚F) or above (100˚F).
b) the water conductivity value must not
be below 10 µs/cm.
c) the main water temperature must not
fall below 5˚C (40˚F) or above
35˚C (95˚ F).

3) Clean the inside of machine and storage bin by
means of a warm water and sodium-bicarbonate
dampened sponge; rinse with plain water and dry
thoroughly.
4) Locate the icemaker and
the storage bin in the final
place, making sure that the
two are perfectly level, in
order to obtain an even
distribution of the water all
over the evaporator and a
uniform filling of the cube
plate (Fig.13).
The storage bin is equipped
with adjustable feet, which
allow for easy levelling and
sufficient height for cleaning
under the machine.
5) Unlock the sensor and the baffle by removing
the transit packaging 1and tape 2, which have
been applied to avoid any damage during
transportation (Fig.16 & Fig.17).
6) The icemaker has been designed for coupling
with another icemaker, which can be installed on
the top of the first one. For this installation, a kit
can be supplied upon request. It contains all
necessary assembling instructions.
7) Do not put the machine in a dusty
environment as this could cause a fast build up of
dust etc, therefore effecting the efficient working
of the condenser (only for air-cooled models).
8) Never keep food, bottles or other things in the
bin in order to avoid the stored ice becoming
tainted.
9) Connect machine to the water supply first and
then to a suitable electricity supply.
2) Match the icemaker to
its storage bin, fixing them
with the two screws
supplied with the machine
(Fig.20).
Before bringing the icemaker into action
perform the following operations:
e) machine is
away from
sources of heat
and in a
sufficiently
ventilated area.
A distance of at
least 20cm must
be allowed
between the
sides, back and
the walls of the
machines
(Fig.12, Fig.14).
12) 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 (Fig.5).
13) Air deflector installation. (Fig.24) The
deflector has to be installed in order to
prevent the re-circulation of hot air to the
condenser.
The maximum voltage variation should not
exceed ± 6% of that stated on the rating
plate. A fused isolator must be included in
the electrical circuit to the machine, with its
own bipolar main switch at least 3 mm. of
contacts opening. The machine should be
connected to a suitable power supply with
earth terminal.
d) the main water pressure
must not fall below
1bar. (14 PSI) or above
5 bar. (70 PSI). If
pressure is above 5 bar.
a pressure regulator
should be fitted to
the water supply to the
machine (Fig.11)
f) the machine will
not work with
demineralized
water.

DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS
If not disposed of properly all refrigerators have components that can
be harmful to the environment. All old refrigerators must be disposed
of by appropriately registered and licensed waste contractors, and in
accordance with National laws and regulations.
