ICE RECOMMENDED FOR DISPENSING
Dispensers are designed to dispense hard, cube ice up
to one-inch square. The ice shapes and sizes listed
above are recommended for dispensing. Warm “Super
Cooled” Ice Before Dispensing: “Super Cooled” ice is not
recommended for dispensing. “Super cooled” ice is ice
that has been stored in freezers below 32°F. must it be
necessary to temporarily use “super cooled” ice, allow
the ice to warm at room temperature for 25 to 30
minutes before placing the ice in the dispenser.
ICE STORAGE AND DISPENSING
As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at
the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door
lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the
mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice chute also
activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When
activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The
gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator arm.
The paddlewheel carries ice. Periodic agitation is
standard on the 30" and larger dispensers. During
periodic agitation, the paddle wheel and agitator turn for
approximately three seconds every three and one half-
hours. The door lock prevents ice from being dispensed
during the agitation cycle.
BEVERAGE VALVES
Post-mix beverage valves are designed to precisely
meter the flow of both water and syrup to obtain the
proper mixing ratio. The syrup and soda water
components of the post-mix beverage are mixed as they
leave the beverage valve.
ROCKING CHUTE ICE DISPENSING
As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at
the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door
lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the
mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice chute also
activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When
activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The
gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator bar.
CARBONATION
The purpose of the carbonator is to take regular tap
water at street water pressure (minimum 20 PSI,
maximum 80 PSI, dynamic or flowing pressure) 1/2"
water line and increase the water to beverage system
pressure (usually 100 PSI). This water is then combined
with the CO
2
gas. Because the water and gas are at the
same pressure, the CO
2
will dissolve into the water.
Chilling the mixture before dispensing will assist in
locking the carbon dioxide into the water. After
dispensing, the CO
2
may be unlocked from the liquid.
The CO
2
will gradually leave the liquid due to pressure
and temperature changes.
Components
The components of the carbonator are: water pump, an
electric motor to operate the pump, carbonator tank
where the water and CO
2
mix, and a water level control.
ROCKING CHUTE ICE DISPENSING
As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at
the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door
lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the
mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice chute also
activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When
activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The
gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator bar.
