INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
For proper operation of the ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed by a qualified refrigera-
tion technician. Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failures, and may void all
warranties.
Reference the installation parameters prior to installing the machine. Cornelius assumes no responsibility for improp-
erly installed equipment. Excessive time required for service or time for units requiring removal for service of inacces-
sible equipment will be the sole responsibility of the equipment owner.
This appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack or experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction. Children shall be super-
vised and are not to play with the appliance.
AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Minimum operating temperature: 50°F (10°C)
Maximum operating temperature: 100°F (38°C) (60 Hz.), 110°F (43°C) (50 Hz.).
NOTE: Cornelius ice-makers and dispensers are not approved for outdoor installation
INCOMING WATER SUPPLY
WARNING
!
Connect to unheated potable water supply only (see Electrical and Plumbing diagrams for line sizing).
Minimum incoming water temperature: 40°F (4.5°C)
Maximum incoming water temperature:100°F (38°C)
Minimum incoming water pressure: 20 psi (1.4 bar, 0.138MPa)
Maximum incoming water pressure: 80 psi (5.5 bar, 0.552MPa)
NOTE: If water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.5 bar), a water pressure regulator must be installed.
All water supply lines must be installed per local codes. Use 3/8 inch O.D. minimum on air cooled machines. On water
cooled machines 3/8 inch O.D. minimum tubing must be run to the condenser. The water supply for the machine can
“T” off from the condenser line using 3/8 inch O.D. minimum tubing. Make 2 coils of extra tubing so that the machine
can be pulled away from the wall if service is needed.
NOTE: This equipment must be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal
state and local codes.
WATER FILTRATION/TREATMENT
A water filter system should be installed with the ice machine. Refer to Cornelius water filter specification sheet.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) water can be very acidic and can attack the evaporator and other metal in the ice machine.
Because the RO process removes all minerals and metals from the water it can promote the faster growth of microbial
mold and slime. If RO water is used, it is recommended the water pH is verified to be a neutral 7.0 to minimize the cor-
rosive effects. Incorrect cleaners, sanitizers, and RO water that does not have a neutral pH could void the machine’s
warranty.
DRAINS
All drain lines must be installed per local codes. Flexible tubing is not recommended. Route bin drain, purge drain and
water condenser drain individually to a floor drain. The use of condensate pumps for draining water is not recom-
mended. Cornelius assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment.

Installation Guide and Owner’s Manual
© 2018, Cornelius Inc. - 5 - Publication Number: 548000033
NOTE: The purge drain fitting is plastic: DO NOT apply heat to purge drain area; DO NOT over-tighten drain
connection.
All drain lines must be installed per local codes. The purge drain should be a minimum of 3/4 inch O.D. tubing. The
condenser drain on water cooled units should be 1/2 inch O.D. minimum. The drain line fittings on Cornelius bins are
3/4 FPT. The bin drain should be a minimum of 3/4 inch O.D. Cold water drains should be insulated to prevent con-
densation from forming.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
Self-contained air cooled ice machines must have a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the rear, top, and
sides for proper air circulation and adequate space for serviceability.
Self-contained air-cooled ice machines exhaust air out of the top and right side. There are two alternative air exhaust
options. Option A (top exhaust bias): minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of clearance at the rear and top of the ice machine
for proper function at maximum operating conditions. Option B (side exhaust bias): minimum of 6 inches (15cm) of
clearance at the rear and right side of the ice machine with a minimum of 3 inches (7.5cm) of clearance at the top for
proper function at maximum operating conditions.
Appropriate space should be allowed for proper serviceability of the machine. Excess time to gain access for service-
ability is not covered under warranty.
STACKING
Cornelius does not endorse stacking ice machines.
DISPENSER APPLICATION
A thermostatic bin control kit should be installed if the ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin top may or may not
be required and should be secured to the dispenser.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Refer to the serial plate at the rear of the ice machine to make sure proper voltage and circuit breaker size have been
supplied. Make sure the machine is on a dedicated circuit. European installations require that the electrical supply
fixed wiring must be provided with a disconnect means having a separation of at least 3mm in all poles. The ice
machines are provided without an electrical cord set and are designed and agency approved to be permanently con-
nected.
NOTE: Units are not approved for GFI outlets.
CAUTION
!
Electrical connection must be made or a cord installed by a qualified electrician or there is danger of an electrical
fire.
ADJUSTMENTS
Level the machine within 1/8 inch in all directions. Check the water in the Water Sump for proper level.
Check the ice bridge for proper thickness. Check the Water Regulating Valve adjustment if water cooled.
Secure the machine on top of the bin or dispenser. Attach the ice machine to the bin with the mounting straps pro-
vided with the bin or dispenser. Insure that the back of the ice machine is flush with the back of the bin. Proper func-
tioning of the Bin Door requires the door, when it is opened, to be in a stable position.
If the ice machine is too far forward on the bin, the opened door may not be stable, resulting in an unexpected closing
of the bin door. If the ice machine is to be mounted on a bin or dispenser other than a Cornelius, refer to the manufac-
turers instructions for machine mounting. Cornelius will not be responsible for damage or injury that results from unex-
pected closing of the bin door as a result of the ice machine being too far forward on the bin.

REMOTE CONDENSER INSTALLATION
For proper operation of the ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. Failure to do so may
result in loss of production capacity, premature part failure, and may void all warranties.
Use the following for planning the placement of the remote condenser relative to the ice machine
LOCATION LIMITS
Remote condenser location must not exceed ANY of the following:
•Maximum rise from the ice machine to the remote condenser is 35 physical feet.
•Maximum drop from the ice machine to the remote condenser is 10 physical feet.
•Physical line set maximum length is 75 ft.
•Calculated line set length maximum is 100 ft.
•Ambient operating temperatures: -20°F (-28.9°C) to 120°F (48.9°C)
CALCULATION FORMULA
Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = drop distance (ft.))
Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = rise distance (ft.))
Horizontal Run = hd (hd = horizontal distance (ft.))
Calculated Line Length = Drop + Rise + Horizontal Run
NOTE: Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive written authorization from the
manufacturer. This includes multi-pass or rack system remote condensers.
NOTE: Do NOT route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises or a line set that falls, then rises, then falls.
REMOTE CONDENSER LOCATION
Pre-charged line sets are available in 25, 40 or 75 foot length to connect the ice machine to the remote condenser.
Select the best available location, protecting the remote condenser from extremes of dirt, dust and sun. Meet all appli-
cable building codes. The services of a licensed electrician may be required.
ROOF ATTACHMENT
Install and attach the remote condenser to the roof of the building using the methods and practices of
construction that conform to the local building codes, including having a roofing contractor secure the remote con-
denser to the roof.
Have an electrician connect the remote condenser fan motor wires to the ice machine using the junction box at the
back of the machine.
PRE-CHARGED LINE SET ROUTING
CAUTION
!
Do not connect the pre -charged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing has been completed.
See the coupling instructions for connecting information.
Each set of pre-charged tubing refrigerant lines consists of a 3/8 diameter liquid line and 1/2 inch diameter discharge
line. Both ends of each line have quick connect couplings, one end of the line set has a Schrader valve connection.
NOTE: The openings in the building or ceiling or wall, listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes
recommended for passing the refrigerant lines through.

Installation Guide and Owner’s Manual
© 2018, Cornelius Inc. - 7 - Publication Number: 548000033
Have a roofing contractor cut a minimum hole for the refrigerant lines of 2.50 inch. Check local codes, a separate hole
may be required for the electrical power to the condenser.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT KINK OR CRIMP REFRIGERANT TUBING WHEN INSTALLING IT.
Route the refrigerant lines through the roof opening. Follow straight line routing whenever possible. Any excess tubing
MUST remain with the building. Spiral the excess length of pre-charged tubing inside the building. Use a horizontal
spiral to avoid any traps in the lines. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes.
CAUTION
!
The couplings on the sets of pre-charged lines are self sealing when installed properly. Carefully follow
the instructions in the Remote Condenser manual.
The following remote ice makers incorporate the Mixing Valve in the condenser. This configuration allows up to a 100
foot calculated remote line set run. Reference the diagram on the next page to calculate the maximum 100 ft. line set
run. Maximum actual line set run is limited to 100 ft. Add 1/4 oz. of refrigerant for each actual foot from 75 to 100 ft.
actual line set run.
NOTE: *Verify the ice machine is compatible with the remote condenser. For more information contact your

OPERATION OF THE CNM SERIES CUBER
Freeze Cycle
A quick press and release of the ON/OFF button will start operation of the unit. The Water Inlet Valve is energized.
Once the HI Water Float is in the open position the Water Inlet is de-energized. The Hot Gas Valve will open for 5 sec-
onds. The Compressor will be energized and 5 seconds later the Hot Gas Valve will close, starting the Pre-chill of the
Evaporator. The Fan Motor (if applicable) will start once the Fan Control closes. After the Pre-chill ends, the Water
Pump will be energized. Water is now flowing across the Evaporator.
When the water temperature reaches a predetermined factory set point (near freezing), the unit will perform a 20 sec-
ond shut down of the Water Pump to assist in Anti-Slush of the water in the Sump. At the conclusion of Anti-Slush, the
unit will continue in freeze mode until the Low Water Float is satisfied (closes), indicating the formation of a full slab of
Ice on the Evaporator and will start the harvest Cycle.
Harvest Cycle
The Fan Motor shuts down as the Hot Gas Valve, Purge Valve and Water Inlet Valve are energized. The Water Inlet
Valve will stay energized for additional time after the Purge Valve closes, partially filling the Water Sump.
The unit continues in this mode until the Harvest Assist Assembly helps push the ice slab from the plate and the con-
tacts in the Curtain Switch open as the slab drops into the bin. If the Curtain Switch remains open after the factory
preset time in the Harvest Cycle, the unit will shut down on a full bin. If the Curtain opens and closes with the harvest
of the ice, the unit will restart the next freeze cycle.
Proper bridge thickness, when measured at the middle of the slab, on the CIM units is approximately 3/16” thick for
units less than 400 lbs. and 1/8” for 400 lbs. and above.

START-UP PROCEDURE
NOTE: Before starting the machine, make sure the machine is level within 1/8 inch in all directions, the bin or
dispenser leg height can be adjusted by rotating the leg foot.
After verifying proper voltage, water
supply, drains and breathable air space
around the unit, press and quickly release
the ON/OFF button behind the unit front
panel. The indicator light will change from
a solid red to solid blue in color.
Follow the sequence of operation
described under “Operation of CNM
Series Cuber” in this manual. Check
operation of each component through the
cycle as explained in this section.
Figure 10.
Bridge Thickness Adjustment
Once the unit has gone through a harvest
cycle, verify the bridge thickness (3/16”
thick for units less than 400 lbs. and 1/8”
for 400 lbs. and above) across the middle
of the ice slab on the second batch
produced. The ice thickness can be
changed on the Float Housing by turning
the adjustment clockwise to decrease the
bridge thickness and counter-clockwise
to increase the bridge thickness. You will
hear a “click” with each adjustment. It is
recommended adjustments be made one
or two “clicks” at a time.

WARNING
!
Electrical shock and/or injury from moving parts inside this machine can cause serious injury. Disconnect
electrical supply to machine prior to performing any adjustments or repairs.
Failure to perform the required maintenance at the frequency specified will void warranty coverage in the
event of a related failure.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
To insure economical, trouble free operation of your machine; it is recommended that the following maintenance be
performed every 6 months.
1. Clean the ice-making section per the instructions below. Cleaning should be performed a minimum of every 6
months. Local water conditions may require that cleaning be performed more often.
2. Check ice bridge thickness. See Figure 11.for proper thickness and adjustment procedure.
3. Check water level in Sump. See Figure 11. for proper water level and adjustment procedure.
4. Clean the condenser (air-cooled machines) to ensure unobstructed air flow.
5. Check for leaks of any kind: water, refrigerant, oil, etc.
6. Check the bin control switch (if applicable) for proper adjustment.
7. Check the Water Regulating Valve (water cooled machine) for proper adjustment by measuring the discharge
pressure which should be adjusted to maintain 250 psi (17.01 bar/ 1.723 MPa). Adjust the water regulating valve
as required. Water exiting the condenser should be between 100°F (38°C) and 110°F (43°C).
8. Check all electrical connections.
9. Oil the fan motor if the motor has an oil fitting. (Self contained air-cooled models only)
10.Check the water filter (if applicable) and replace if dirty or restricted.
11.Inspect the evaporator water distribution tube to insure even distribution of water across the face of the evaporator.
12.Clean Remote Condenser if applicable.

CLEANING INSTRUCTION FOR CORNELIUS CNM
SERIES ICE MACHINES
NOTE: Proper cleaning of an ice machine requires two parts: descaling and sanitizing.
Descaling should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year but no more than once per month.
Descaling dissolves the mineral deposits on the evaporator and other surfaces. It removes scale, calcium, lime scale
and other mineral buildup. The manufacturer requires a “nickel-safe” cleaner such as Nu-Calgon Nickel-Safe Ice
Machine Cleaner or equivalent diluted per manufacturer’s instructions.
Sanitizing should be performed after each descaling but no more than once per month.
Sanitizing disinfects the machine and removes microbial growth including mold and slime. The manufacturer
requires a “nickel-safe” sanitizer such as Nu-Calgon IMS-III or equivalent diluted per manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
!
Do not mix cleaner (descaler) and sanitizer together.
NOTE: Electrical power will be ON when performing the following cleaning instructions.
1. Remove all ice from storage means to prevent any contamination of ice in storage.
2. Remove the front panel of the ice machine by loosening the two front panel screws with a Phillips head screw-
driver. Lift panel to remove.
3. Press and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds to initiate a harvest cycle (blue light will begin to flash for Manual
Harvest mode). This ensures there is no ice on the plate and the water is emptied from the sump.
Figure 12.
4. Once the ice machine has completed its harvest cycle, the POWER light will go to solid red (OFF mode).
5. Remove the upper evaporator cover and leave the lower curtain.

6. Quick press the CLEAN button to start the process. Ice machine will show a solid red and flashing yellow light
during the cleaning cycle.
7. The machine will first verify that the sump is empty with the pump ON and the purge valve energized.
8. When the sump is mostly empty, the machine will begin to fill the sump (about 30 seconds to a minute).
9. The pump turns ON when the water fill reaches the proper fill level. Measure the appropriate amount of descaler
according to the machine size and sump volume from chart below. Carefully pour the descaler into the sump using
the lower curtain to prevent splash. Replace upper evaporator cover
Figure 14.
10.The machine will remain in the WASH cycle for 15 minutes.
11.After WASH time, the machine will PURGE and re-fill with the water pump ON.
12.The machine will RINSE (less than one minute) then repeat PURGE/FILL/RINSE multiple times.
13.The machine will end the cleaning cycle with a mostly empty sump and a solid red and yellow light.
14.Quick press the CLEAN button to return to OFF mode.
15.Remove the upper evaporator cover and lower evaporator curtain. Using a solution with the proper concentration
of cleaner (descaler or sanitizer), wipe down with a clean soft cloth the evaporator, water spillway, water distributor,
upper evaporator cover, lower evaporator curtain and all splash surfaces. Verify that all residue and residual miner-
als have been removed.
16.If a full clean of water components is required, this can be done by referring to the service manual for water system
component breakdown. This is recommended to be done by a qualified service agent.
17.Re-assemble all ice machine water system components in reverse order.
