Installing optional auto-fill icemaker kit(s)
Correct installation of Satellite-fill 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 (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.
