Installing optional icemaker
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 up 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

until ice covers top of waterbath.
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.

Operation
How the dispenser works
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 waterbath timer circuit that activates the
waterbath pump for 35 minutes when ice lever or button is activated, or when the ice water bath warms up and
calls for more ice.

Waterbath 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.
