User information
How the dispenser works
Follett’s MU155N series ice and water dispensers are available in manual load configurations (using ice from
another source) or automatic load configurations, fed from one or two Follett 400 lb (181kg)/day remote
icemakers.
In all models, ice is stored below the counter in the dispenser storage area. When the dispense lever or button is
pushed, the dispense motor is activated. This causes the wheel assembly in the storage area to turn, moving ice
to the vertical auger assembly, which carries ice up to the dispense chute where it drops by gravity into the
container.
In automatic load units, ice is manufactured in either one or two Follett remote icemakers. These icemakers may
be located up to 6m away from the dispenser. As water freezes to the inside walls of the icemaker evaporator, a
rotating stainless steel auger removes ice and carries it to the top of the evaporator assembly where it is
compressed and extruded through an outlet port. The extruded ice is then pushed through the tube to the storage
compartment of the dispenser. A level fill circuit maximizes fill in the storage area by rotating the wheel at
intervals until the bin is completely filled. When the bin is filled, a bin stat shuts the icemaker off to avoid
overfilling of the bin. The icemaker will restart after 20 minutes if the bin is calling for ice.
Cleaning and sanitizing procedures
Using solutions below, clean and sanitize storage area and beverage lines before starting up unit and on a
routine basis as noted below.
Solution A:
Prepare a cleaning solution (200 ppm of available chlorine content) of Ecolab Mikro-chlor
Cleaner or equal chlorinated detergent. Cleaning solution temperature must be at
75˚ – 125˚F (24˚ to 52˚C).
Solution B:
Prepare a sanitizing solution (50 ppm of available chlorine content) of Ecolab Mikro-chlor
Cleaner or equal chlorinated detergent. Sanitizing solution temperature must be at
75˚ – 125˚F (24˚ to 52˚C).

Follett manual load dispensers can accommodate most cube/cubelet ices up to 26mm
square and Follett compressed nugget ice. Crushed, flake, nugget, bagged or
congealed ice cannot be used. Use of these ices can jam dispenser and void
warranty. Separate any “waffle-like” sections of cubes before adding to dispenser.
For questions about ice compatibility, call Follett’s customer service group at
(610) 252-7301.
