Installing optional auto-fill icemaker kit(s)
Correct installation of remote icemaker(s) is critical to proper performance of icemaker. Refer to installation
manual packed with icemaker for important details on ice transport tube run, ventilation requirements and other
installation requirements. Failure to comply with instructions may void warranty.
To start and operate dispenser
1. Follow detailed cleaning instructions in service manual before operating dispenser.
2. On units with Follett integral ice water bath beverage cooling (“B” models) only, slowly pour water into ice
water bath area to fill empty bath and submerge coils. Coils are submerged when water starts to flow out
overflow drain. DO NOT SPLASH WATER ON ELECTRICAL BOX. Once filled with water, add ice to bath
until ice covers top of water bath.
3. For manual load units, remove front drain pan or rear lid and fill storage area with approved ice.
Note: Follett manual load dispensers can accommodate most cube/cubelet ices up to 1" square, or Follett
compressed nugget ice. Crushed, flake, bagged, nugget 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 ice compatibility questions, please call Follett customer service at (800) 523-9361
or (888) 2-FOLLETT or (610) 252-7301.
4. Turn power switch located on dispenser control box to ON position.
5. For automatic fill units, follow detailed instructions in icemaker installation section of installation manual, then
turn icemaker (bin signal) switch(es) located on dispenser control box to ON position and begin to make ice.
6. When dispenser has at least 6" (153mm) of ice in storage area, test operation.

Operation
How the dispenser works
Ice movement
Follett’s dispensers are available in automatic load
configurations, fed from one or two Follett remote
icemakers or manual load configurations (using ice
from another source).
In all models, ice is stored below the counter in the
dispenser storage area. When the dispense lever
or button is pushed, the dispense motors are
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 20 ft (6m) away
from the dispenser. Extruded ice is transported
through a tube and pushed to the storage
compartment of the dispenser. When the bin is
filled, a bin thermostat shuts the icemaker off to
avoid overfilling of the bin. The icemaker will
restart after 20 minutes if the bin is calling for ice.
Units with integral ice water bath beverage cooling
are equipped with a water bath timer circuit that
activates the water bath pump for 35 minutes
when ice lever or button is activated, or when the
ice water bath warms up and calls for more ice.

Water bath circuit board operation
The temperature sensor is hard wired directly to the circuit board. The waterbath circuit board operates on 24
volts AC. The bath pump will run for 35 minutes whenever ice is dispensed or the bath calls for ice.
Optimal beverage temperature is controlled by the circuit board located in the electrical box. The board monitors
the waterbath temperature and holds it to a factory setting. When the Red LED is ON, the bath solenoid, auger
motor, wheel motor and bath pump are energized. Ice will be dispensed into the waterbath for 12 seconds, then
stop for 60 seconds. The pump will stay energized, and the circuit board will then monitor the water
temperature. If it is below the set point, the Green LED will come on, the Red LED light will go off, and ice will
not dispense into the waterbath. If the temperature of the bath is determined to be above the set point, the Red
LED will remain on. The circuit board has a delay of 60 seconds before more ice is dispensed into the
waterbath.
LED indicators:
Green – the waterbath is at the set temperature.
Red – the bath temperature is above the set temperature and the bath is calling for ice.
Flashing LED indicators:
Flashing Red and Green – the circuit board has gone into an error mode:
Alternate flashing – circuit board has power and is waiting for hopper cover and dispenser top to be
replaced.
Simultaneous flashing – the waterbath did not reach set temperature in 40 minutes. Reset this error
mode by turning power off, removing top lid, drain pan or rear lid.
