Helpful Tips when receiving a new "Ice Box" machine
Helpful tips when receiving your Ice Block Machine(s)
1. Upon receiving your Ice Box Machine(s) before your delivery driver leaves, inspect to look for any visible damages, dents, damage of the pallet etc. If you see any damage, please take the proper steps to file a claim with the insurance company.
2. After inspection, un-crate and remove the Ice Block Machine from the pallet. Having a couple people to help with lifting the machine off the pallet may be necessary. Unless you have a forklift.
3. When placing your machine keep it about 8” away from the wall on the back side, this will also aid in propping the lid against the wall when open.
4. Once you have the Ice Block Machine in place, plug in your condensing unit and the electrical box for your pumps. Let the machine run for at least 15-20 minutes with the lid closed. Do this before #5.
5. Place your liner bag inside the water bins, you can fold over the bolts that are sticking out in the center top of the bins. Put the lifter plates on, one on the front center of each bin and one on the back center of each bin. These also help to hold up your liners while you fill them with water.
6. Place your pumps on the water bins front panel next to the centered lifter plate, position so the pump will be pushing the water downwards and towards the back side of the bin.
7. Fill the chambers with water high enough to have the pumps completely submerged under water.
8. Make sure to routinely check on the production of your ice during the freezing process to ensure your pumps do not get frozen into the ice block and are still flowing water!
9. To check the thickness of the ice, use the depth checker. Lay it across the water bin walls and slide the entire length of the bin. Repeat this process on all the water bins. You can also stick the long side in the water all around the bin to give you an idea where the ice level is.
10. When your ice is ready, leave the machine running and unplug your pumps.
11. Vacuum out any remaining water with a shop vac.
12. Flex all the walls of the water bins, left to right, front and back. This aids in the removal of the blocks. Repeat the flexing as many times as needed. To flex, push the walls one at a time to break away from the ice, this can be done using your hands.
Tip: About every 3 months you can turn your machine(s) off and let them thaw out, for about 3 days to a week. Then you can start back up again and run them like normal.
Tip: To make good ice, and improve your machines efficiency, you need to draw out any heat! Get your ambient air down in temperature as low as you can. Also, you can increase the circulation of air in the building.
