FOR THE INSTALLER
Location
After uncrating and inspection, the unit is
ready for installation. It is important that the
machine be installed in a location where it has
enough space around it to be accessible for
service, usually a minimum of 6 inches. Try to
avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be
sure that the location for the machine is within
the limitations described on page 3.
Storage Bin
Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of
the carton to protect the exterior finish. Install
the legs into the threaded holes in the bottom
of the bin. Turn the leg levelers all the way in
preparation for leveling later. Return the bin to
the upright position, remove paper covering
the bin gasket.
Install the bin top according to the directions
with the bin top.
Note: Do not push bin into position, but lift it
there. Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in
it, can cause damage to the legs and the leg
mounts. Ice Maker
The machine is heavy, so the use of a
mechanical lift is recommended for lifting the
machine high enough to install on top of the
bin. After the unit is placed on the bin, line it
up so it is even with the back side. Secure the
machine to the bin with the hardware provided
with the machine.
Remove the front panel and remove any
shipping blocks.
Note: Be sure to allow a 6" minimum space
above the top of the machine for service.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Remote Condenser
Location
Limited to a 40 foot or a 25 foot length of
precharged refrigerant tubing connecting the
icemaker to the remote condenser. The
condenser must be above or level with the
icemaker.
Select the best available location, protecting
the condenser from extremes of dirt, dust, and
sun.
Meet all applicable building codes. Usually
the services of a licensed electrician are
required.
Roof Attachment
1. 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 condenser to the
roof.
2. Have an electrician connect the remote
condenser fan motor to the icemaker, using
the junction box at the back of the icemaker.
PRECHARGED LINE ROUTING
////////////////////////////CAUTION/////////////////////////////
Do not connect precharged tubing until all
routing and forming of the tubing is complete.
See the coupling instructions, page for
connecting instructions.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
1. Each set of precharged refrigerant lines
(either 25 foot or 40 foot) consists of a 3/8 inch
diameter liquid line and a 1/2 inch diameter
discharge line. Both ends of each line have
quick connect couplings, one end has a
schrader valve connection, that end goes to
the condenser.
Note: The openings in the building ceiling or
wall, listed in the next step, are the minimum
sizes recommended for passing the refrigerant
lines through.
2. Have the roofing contractor cut a minimum
hole for the refrigerant lines of 1 3/4 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.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
3. Route the refrigerant lines through the roof
opening.
Follow straight line routing whenever possible.
Any excess tubing MUST be retained within
the building.
4. Spiral the excess length of pre charged
tubing inside the building. Use a horizontal
spiral (as illustrated) to avoid any traps in the
lines.
5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes
in the roof per local codes.

COUPLING INSTRUCTIONS
/////////////////////////////CAUTION/////////////////////////////
The couplings on the sets of precharged lines
are self sealing when installed properly.
Carefully follow the instructions:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
1. Remove the protector caps and plugs.
Wipe the seats and threaded surfaces with a
clean cloth to be certain that no foreign matter
remains on them.
2. Lubricate the inside of the couplings,
especially the O-Rings with refrigerant oil.
3. Begin tightening the couplings together by
hand, then using two wrenches (it is important
that ONLY the nut on the precharged lines be
turned, the other parts of the couplings must
NOT be allowed to turn or the process will tear
out the diaphragms and they will be loose in
the refrigeration system) tighten the coupling
until it bottoms out or a definite increase in
resistance is felt.
4. Using a marker or pen, mark a line
lengthwise from the coupling union nut to the
bulkhead. Then tighten the coupling and
additional 1/4 turn. As the nut turns, the line
will show when 1/4 turn is made.
5. Connect the 3/8 inch liquid line (schrader
valve end) to the remote condenser fitting
marked "liquid line".
6. Connect the other end of the liquid line to
the icemaker fitting marked "liquid line."
7. Connect the 1/2 inch discharge line
(schrader valve end) to the remote condenser
fitting marked "discharge line".
8. Connect the other end of the liquid line to
the icemaker fitting marked "discharge line".
9. After all connections are made, and after
the king valve has been opened, check the
couplings for leaks.

Water Inlet
The recommended water supply is
cold water. Use 3/8" O.D. copper
tubing, connect to the 3/8" male
flare at the back of the cabinet.
Install a hand valve near the
machine to control the water
supply. Drains
There is one 3/4" FPT drain at the
back of the cabinet, the drain line
is of the gravity type, and 1/4 inch
per foot fall is an acceptable pitch
for the drain tubing. There should
be a vent at the highest point of
the drain line, and the ideal drain
receptacle would be a trapped and
vented floor drain. Use only 3/4"
rigid tubing.
Storage Bin: A separate gravity
type drain needs to be run.
Insulation of this drain line is
recommended.

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN
CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
The electrical power to the unit is supplied
through the junction box at the rear of the
machine.
Check the nameplate (located on the back
panel) for the voltage requirements, and for
the minimum circuit ampacity. The machine
requires a solid chassis to earth ground wire.
The ice maker should be connected to its own
electrical circuit so it would be individually
fused. Voltage variation must remain within
design limitations, even under starting
conditions.
Electrically the remote condenser fan motor is
connected to the icemaker at the contactor
terminals for the compressor and the fan
motor operates whenever the compressor
operates.
Electrical connections are made at the
junction box at the back of the icemaker and
at the junction box on the remote condenser.
The remote condenser must be wired to the
icemaker in accordance with local and
national electrical codes with a minimum of 18
Awg. wire with an ground bonding wire
connected to the ground screws provided in
both the condenser and machine field wiring
boxes. All outdoor wiring must be in rainproof
conduit.
All external wiring must conform to
national, state, and local electrical codes.
The use of a licensed electrician is
required to perform the electrical
installation.

6. Check phasing of the electrical circuit as
follows:
A. The phasing of the wiring MUST now be
checked, as incorrect phasing will result in a
failure of the kit relay.
Below is an illustration of the KCMR230
terminal strip. Note that each terminal is
marked: 1-2-3-4-5-6. For proper phasing:
Terminals #1 and #3 must be connected to
the same side of the line (such as L1)
Terminals #2 and #4 must be connected to
the same side of the line (such as L2).
B. Make a test with a volt meter as follows:
1. Switch on icemaker #1 first, then switch on
icemaker #2.
(The compressors must be operating for this
test. Do this after start up.)
2. Test with a volt meter between terminals
#2 and #4, then between terminals #1 and #3.
Compare the readings obtained to the ones in
the following list:
C. Test terminals 1-2 = Full Voltage (208-230)
Test terminals 1-3 = No voltage
Test terminals 2-3 = Full Voltage
Test terminals 2-4 = No voltage
Test terminals 3-4 = Full voltage
Test terminals 1-4 = Full voltage
D. If there is full voltage where there should
be no voltage, turn off icemaker #2, (both
switches) Then turn off icemaker #1 (both
switches). The connections at the KCMR230
terminal strip marked icemaker #1 must be
reversed (put the wire that was on 1 on 2 and
the wire that was on 2 on 1).

Refer the wiring diagram as needed.
If the machine is switched off at the master
switch, but is otherwise ready to go, switching
the master switch to ON does the following:
••The bin empty light on the circuit board
goes on
••There is a 15 second delay
••If there is enough water in the reservoir, the
circuit board will allow the machine to start
up.
Start up consists of:
••The liquid line relay and auger motor relay
become energized, connecting power to the
liquid line solenoid coil and to the windings
of the auger motor.
••The liquid line solenoid opens, raising the
low side pressure.
••The pump down control closes.
••The auger motor starts, and the centrifugal
switch closes, connecting power to the
compressor contactor coil.
••The contactor is energized, connecting
power to the compressor, and the
compressor starts.
••As ice goes past the ice level sensors, the
bin empty light will stay on, and the
machine will continue to run, unless the ice
stays between the sensors for more than
15 seconds (bin full). At that point, the bin
empty light goes out, and the machine
shuts down.
Shut Down consists of:
••The liquid line solenoid closes, lowering the
suction pressure.
••The pump down control opens.
••The compressor contactor opens
••The compressor stops
••The auger motor is run by the circuit board
for 2.5 more minutes, clearing out ice in the
evaporator, and then
••The auger motor relay opens, and the
auger motor stops.
If the ice level sensor is clear (bin empty) for
more than 15 seconds, the machine will start
up again.
Another purpose of the circuit board is to turn
the machine off if there is not enough water in
the machine.
••When the water level in the reservoir falls
below the water level sensor, the machine
will "shut down"
••When the water refills the reservoir, the
machine will start up again.
Separate from the circuit board:
••The high pressure control will stop the
machine immediately if it opens. It is
manually reset at the control and at the
reset switch on the circuit board.
••The spout switch will stop the machine
immediately if it opens. It is a manual reset
at the reset switch on the circuit board.
••The master switch is the manual control for
the complete machine, but it is not a

OPERATION: Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8"
male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to
the water reservoir which it enters through the
float valve. The water them goes out the
bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of
the evaporator.
Reservoir overflow or evaporator
condensation is routed to the drain.

OPERATION: Refrigeration
Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant
502 is compressed into a high temperature
gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the
condenser. At the remote condenser the
gas is cooled by air and it then condenses
into a liquid. This high pressure liquid then
goes through the liquid line to the head
pressure control valve, into the receiver,
through the liquid line valve and then through
the expansion valve. The thermostatic
expansion valve meters liquid refrigerant into
the evaporator, the volume of liquid refrigerant
depending upon the temperature of the
evaporator; warmer evaporators get more
refrigerant and colder evaporators get less. At
the evaporator, the refrigerant enters an area
of relatively low pressure, where it can easily
"boil off" or evaporate. As it evaporates, it
absorbs heat from the evaporator and
whatever is in contact with it (such as the
water inside it). After the evaporator, the
refrigerant, now a low pressure vapor, goes
through the suction line back to compressor,
where the cycle is repeated.
