[. . . ] AFE325 AFE325 Product Manual Purpose of this manual: To provide detailed installation and operation instructions; to give insights into how the machine works; to list possible causes for problems; and to suggest procedures for specific types of service. The AFE325 is an ice maker that makes and stores flaked ice. The refrigeration system is either air or water cooled, and it uses R-134a as a refrigerant. The control system uses thermostat as a bin control and a water pressure switch as the water safety control. Table of Contents Specifications: . [. . . ] Replace the top and the front panels. January 1996 Page 12 AFE325 Maintenance and Cleaning In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker will contain a high concentration of minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year. If in doubt about the condition of the evaporator and auger, the auger can be removed so the parts can be inspected. Note: Water filters can filter out suspended solids, but not dissolved solids. ``Soft'' water may not be the complete answer. Check with a water treatment specialist regarding water treatment. For more information on removal of these parts, see REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water. Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water. Remove the two screws from the spout at the side of the evaporator. Pull the spout away from the evaporator. Remove screw holding spout plate to evaporator. Pull up on cap hook located in the top of the freezer assembly to remove the ice breaker assembly, auger, and the top portion of the water seal. Clean the auger of any mineral build up. Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner and a scouring pad work well to clean the auger. Replace the water seal, see the instructions under "Removal and Replacement". Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect electrical power before beginning. Remove the two screws from the spout at the side of the evaporator. Pull the spout away from the evaporator. Remove screw holding spout plate to evaporator. Remove the snap ring and cap, and remove the bolt from the ice breaker and auger assembly to separate the ice breaker assembly from the auger. Pull the ice breaker with bearing out of the top of the evaporator: the auger should stay in the evaporator. The bearings may be inspected for rust, wear, and roughness. Reverse to reassemble.

[. . . ] Note: If there is evidence of water near the output shaft of the gear reducer, it would be a wise precaution to pull the auger from the evaporator and check the bearings. Rebuild or replace the gear reducer. August 1994 Page 21 AFE325 Gear Reducer Rebuild 1. After the gear reducer has been removed, the internal components may be inspected and/or replaced. Remove all bolts holding the two case halves together. [. . . ]
