1. Position the storage bin in the selected
permanent location.
Criteria for selection of location include:
a)Minimumroomtemperature10°C(50°F)
and maximum room temperature 40°C (100°F).
b) Water inlet temperatures: minimum 5°C
(40°F) and maximum 35°C (90°F).
c) Well ventilated location for air cooled
models (clean the air cooled condenser at
frequent intervals).

1. Open all the way the lift door in the upright
position then place the door catch on the front
face of the ice maker and tape it in place.
2. Drill two 3 mm holes in correspondance of
the catch mounting holes.
3. Remove the tape and fasten the catch
using the two self-tapping screws supplied.
D. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
See data plate for current requirements to
determine wire size to be used for electrical
connections.All SIMAGicemakersrequire
a solid earth wire.
All SIMAGice machines are supplied from
thefactorycompletelypre-wiredandrequireonly
electrical power connections to the wire cord
provided at the rear of the unit.
Make sure that the ice machine is connected to
its own circuit and individually fused (see data
plate for fuse size).
Themaximumallowablevoltagevariationshould
not exceed -10% and +10% of the data plate
rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning
and may be responsible for serious damage to
the overload switch and motor windings.
NOTE. All external wiring should conform to
national, state and local standards and
regulations.
Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s
data plate before connecting the unit.
E. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
GENERAL
Whenchoosingthewatersupplyfortheiceflaker
consideration should be given to:
a) Length of run
b) Water clarity and purity
c) Adequate water supply pressure
Sincewateristhemostimportantsingleingredient
in producting ice you cannot emphasize too
much the three items listed above.
Low water pressure, below 1 bar may cause
malfunction of the ice maker unit.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to
producescalebuild-upontheinteriorpartsofthe
water system while too soft water (with too lo
contents of mineral salts), will produce a very
hard flaker ice.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect the 3/4" GAS male of the water inlet
fitting,usingthefoodgradeflexiblehosesupplied
tothecoldwatersupplylinewithregularplumbing
fittingandashut-offvalveinstalledinanaccessible
position between the water supply line and the
unit.
If water contains a high level of impurities, it is
advisable to consider the installation of an
appropriate water filter or conditioner.

WATER DRAIN
The recommended drain tube is a plastic or
flexiblehosewith18mm(3/4")I.D.whichrunsto
an open trapped and vented drain. When the
drain is a long run, allow 3 cm pitch per meter
(1/4" pitch per foot).

NOTE.Thewater supplyand thewaterdrain
must be installed to conform with the local
code. In some case a licensed plumber and/
or a plumbing permit is required.
F. FINAL CHECK LIST
1. Is the unit in a room where ambient
temperaturesarewithinaminimumof10°C(50°F)
even in winter months?
2. Is there at least a 15 cm (6") clearance
around the unit for proper air circulation?
3. Is the unit level? (IMPORTANT)
4. Have all the electrical and plumbing
connectionsbeenmade, and isthewater supply
shut-off valve open?
Page 14

5. Has the voltage been tested and checked
against the data plate rating?
6. Has the water supply pressure been
checkedtoensure awaterpressure ofatleast 1
bar (14 psi).
7. Have the bolts holding the compressor
down been checked to ensure that the
compressor is snugly fitted onto the mounting
pads?
8. Checkallrefrigerantlinesandconduitlines
to guard against vibrations and possible failure.
9. Have the bin liner and cabinet been wiped
clean?
10. Has the owner/user been given the User
Manual and been instructed on the importance
of periodic maintenance checks?
11. Has the Manufacturer’s registration card
been filled in properly? Check for correct model
and serial number against the serial plate and
mail the registration card to the factory.
12. Has the owner been given the name and
thephonenumberoftheauthorizedSIMAG
Service Agency serving him?

cedure.
A. Open the water supply line shutoff valve
andputtheunitunderelectricalpowerbymoving
the main switch, on the power supply line, to the
ON position.
The first LED - GREEN - will glow to signal that
unit is under power.
NOTE.Everytimetheunitisputunderpower,
after being kept for sometime in shut-off
conditions (electrically disconnected) the
RED LED will blink for 3 minutes after which
the unit will start up with the immediate
operation of the gear motor assembly and,
after few seconds, of the compressor
(Fig.1).
B. Elapsed the 3 minutes - stand by period -
the unit starts operating with the activation in
sequence of the following assemblies:
GEAR MOTOR/S
COMPRESSOR
FAN MOTOR/S (if unit is an air cooled version)
kept under control by the condenser temperatu-
resensorwhichhasitsprobewithinthecondenser
fins (Fig.2).
C. After 2 or 3 minutes from the compressor
start up, observe that flaker ice begins dropping
off the ice spout to fall through the ice chute into
the storage bin.
NOTE.Thefirst icebitsthat dropintothe ice
storagebinarenotsohardastheevaporating
temperaturehasnot yetreachedthe correct
operating value. It is necessary to allow the
ice - just made - to cure itself and wait for
about ten minutes for the evaporating tem-
perature to reach the correct value so to
make more hard bits of ice.

NOTE. If, after ten minutes from the
compressor start-up, the evaporating tem-
perature has not dropped down to a value
lower than -1 ° C (30 ° F) theevaporatingtem-
perature sensor detects such an abnormal
situation and stops consequently the unit
operation.
Inthiscircustance,the5thwarningYELLOW
LED will blink.
The machine will remain in OFF mode for
one hour then it will restart automatically.
In case the unit trips OFF again in alarm for
3timesin3hours,themachineSHUTSOFF
DEFINITIVELY.
After having diagnosed and eliminated the
cause of the too hi evaporating temperature
(insufficient refrigerant in the system or
compressor not running) it is necessary to
unplug and plug in again to restart the
machine. The unit, before resuming the
normal operation, will go through the usual
3 minutes STAND-BY period.

D. Remove front service panel and, if
necessary,installtherefrigerantservicegauges
on the corresponding service valves to check
both the HI and LO refrigerant pressures.
NOTE.Onaircooledmodels,thecondenser
temperature sensor, which is located within
the condenser fins, keeps the head
(condensing) pressure between preset
values.
In the event of condenser clogged - such to
preventthe properflowofthecoolingair-or,
in case the fan motor is out of operation, the
condenser temperature rises and when it
reaches 70 ° C (160 ° F) for air cooled version -
and 60 ° C (140 ° F) - for water cooled version -
the condenser temperature sensor shuts-off

Openingthewatersupplylineshutoffvalveto fill
up again the float reservoir, the YELLOW LED
goes off while the RED LED starts blinking.

and, few seconds later, of the compressor.
F. Check for the correct operation of the
electroniceye(one pereachice chuteon model

the bottom opening of the vertical ice chute.
Wait the built up of the ice into the ice chute till it
cuts the light beam of the sensing "eyes".

the light beam previously interrupted and after
about 6 seconds the flaker will re-start - through
the 3 minutes STAND-BY period - with the
extinguishing of the YELLOW LED.
This will cause a gradual decrease of the water
level in the float reservoir and as soon as the
level gets below the two vertical metal pins, the
flakerstopstooperateandtheYELLOWwarning
LED will glow to signal the shortage of water
(Fig. 4)
NOTE. The water level sensor detects the
presence of water in the float reservoir and
confirms it to the micro processor by
maintaining a low voltage current flow
between the two metal pins using the water
as conductor.
WARNING. The use of de-mineralized
water (water with no salt content) having
an electrical conductivity lower than 30
µS, will cause break with the consequent
CUT-OUToftheflaker andtheglowingof
theYELLOWLEDofwatershortage,even
with water in the reservoir.
