Thermostat installation and wiring of the E.I. 600 Installation of temperature control This ice machine uses a Ranco ETC control. We recommend mounting in an accessible location near the unit. Since this control has an LED indictor and switches which can be useful in monitoring and testing the ice machine, a convenient location is preferred.

Corrosion control Covering all electrical components and wiring connections with a corrosion product will help reduce corrosion problems years into the future. The complete ice machine can be coated with a spray like Corrosion Block. Winterizing-warning See note on below freezing temperatures in trouble shooting section #11.

Trouble shooting the E.I. 600 if not producing ice 1. Check to see if power is reaching the ice machine. If raw water pump is running, power is reaching the machine. If power light on temperature control is on, power is reaching ice machine.

7. Check fresh water supply pressure by removing cover to water reservoir and pushing down float from valve. (Water should be running strongly.) The machine is equipped with a low water pressure switch which will not allow machine to run if there is less than 10 lbs. of fresh water pressure.

11. If the ice machine is to be exposed to temperatures below freezing (32°F), water must be drained from machine or potable anti-freeze must be added to the fresh water supply and flushed through the machine. If you suspect that untreated water has been left in the ice machine at temperatures below freezing and water in the ice maker has frozen, drive motor will be locked up, and will not start.
Low pressure control is set at approximately +2 lbs. The low pressure control can be tested by holding up the water float in the water reservoir and dropping the temperature and pressure in the evaporator causing the low to trip. High pressure control is set at approximately 250 lbs.
