SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always disconnectpowertothe dispenserbeforeservicing orcleaning.
Neverplace handsinside ofhopperorgate area withoutdisconnecting powertothe dispenser.Agitator rotation
occursautomaticallywhen the dispenserisenergized!
Thisice dispenserhasbeen specificallydesigned to provide protection againstpersonal injuryand eliminates
contamination ofice.To ensurecontinued protection and sanitation,observethe following:
ALWAYS be surethe removablelidisproperlyinstalled to preventunautho-
rized access tothe hopperinteriorand possiblecontamination ofice.
ALWAYS be surethe upperand lowerfrontpanelsaresecurelyfastened.
ALWAYS keep area around the dispenserclean oficecubes.
CAUTION:Dispensercannotbeusedwithcrushed orflakedice.
Use ofbaggedice, which has frozenintolarge chunks,canvoidwarranty.Thedispenser
agitatorisnotdesignedto be anice crusher.Use oflarge chunks ofice which“jamup”
insidethehopperwill cause failureof the agitator motorand damagetothehopper. Ifbaggedice
isused, itmustbe carefully and completelybrokenintosmall, cube-sized pieces beforefilling into
thedispenserhopper.
GENERALDESCRIPTION
The 3030 seriesofice dispensers solveice and beverage service needsinthe sanitary,spacesaving,economi-
calway.Designed tobemanualfilled withicefromanyremoteice-making source, these dispenserswill dis-
pensecubes(up to 1-1/4? insize),cubeletsand hard-chipped orcracked ice;and in addition,severalflavorsof
post-mixbeverages.“B”models contain beverage faucetsonlyand mustbe supplied withcold product from
anyremotecold plate or refrigerated soda factory.
“BC”unitsinclude faucetsand cold platesand are designed tobesupplied directlyfromsyrup tanks and carbo-
nator,with no additionalcooling required.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:This equipmentmustbeinstalledwithadequatebackflowprotection tocomplywithfederal,
state,and localcodes.
Note:Waterpipe connections and fixtures directly connectedtoapotablewatersupply shall be sized,
installedand maintainedaccording to Federal, State and LocalLaws.
1.Locatethe dispenserindoorsonalevelcountertop.Unpack the four (4)legsand install themintothe
threaded holesprovided inthe bottomof the unit. The installermustprovide flexibilityinthe productand
utilitylinesto permitshifting the position of the dispensersufficientlytoclean the area beneathit.
2.Utilities:DB150 Model-The electricalpowercord and dispenserdrain(3/4FPT)arelocated at the rearof
the unit. DB150 -B,-BCModel-All utilitiesarerouted out the bottomof the unit. See “Mounting Template”
Figure5forlocating the required clearance holesinthe counterforthese utilitylines.
3.Connect the draintube to an open drain.ForDB150 models, the drainline sizemustbe 3/4? IPS (orequal)
and mustcontinuouslypitch downward awayfromthe unitand containno“traps”orimproperdrainage will
result.

ADJUSTMENT
Thisdispenserisprovided with a gaterestrictorplateinstalled init’shighestposition.Thisplate adjuststhe rate
oficeflowfromthe dispenser. In applicationsusing buckets,carafesorotherlarge containers, the platemaybe
removed entirelyformaximumiceflow.Forglassesand cups, the platemaybe adjusted downwardtoreduce
the flowofice.The bestposition dependson the type ofice being used and the sizecontainerand mustbe
found bytrialand error.Adjustmentismade byloosening the uppertwoicechuteretaining nuts,sliding the re-
strictorplatetothe desired position and re-tightening the nuts.
If the dispenserfailsto dispensethe icewhen operating,check that the hopperhasiceinitand thatpoweris
being supplied tothe unit. If the problempersists,check the following:
1.Determine if the agitatorisrotating (check forthe sound oficemovementinthe hopper).
2.Observewhetherthe gateisopening.

MAINTENANCE
The following dispensermaintenanceshould be performed at the intervalsindicated:
DAILY(orasrequired)
Removeforeign materialfromthe vending area sinkto preventdrain blockage.
WEEKLY(orasrequired)
Clean vending area.Check forproperwaterdrainage fromthe vending area sink.
MONTHLY
Clean and sanitizethe hopperinterior (see CLEANINGINSTRUCTIONS).
START-UPAND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the hopperwithice.With a built-incold plate,dispenseseveral large cupsofice(approximatelyone {1}min-
utetotaldispensing time)to allowicetofill the cold plate.Add icetothe hopperasnecessarytorefill and re-
placethe lid.Allow10 to15minutesforthe cold platetocooldown.Repeat thisprocedurewheneverthe dis-
penserhasbeen standing overnightorotherlong periodswithoutice use.Startup the beverage systemand
adjust faucetstothe properbrix.Contactyourlocalsyrup distributorforcompleteinformation on the beverage
system.
In normaloperation,pushing the ice dispenserleverwill causeicetoflowfromthe icechute. Iceflow will contin-
ue until the leverisreleased.Pushing the leveron anyfaucetwill provide beverage of the appropriateflavor.
NOTE:Use caution toavoidspilling whenfilling dispenser. Immediately cleanupany spilledice from
filling oroperating theunit.To preventcontamination ofice,thelidmustbeinstalledonthe
unitatall times.
