Operation How the dispenser works Follett’s dispensers may be fed by Follett RIDE model ice machines or manually loaded (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.

Do not run plastic parts through a dishwasher. Solution A: Combine 1 oz (30ml) bleach with 2 gal (8L) hot water. Solution B: Combine 1/4 oz (7ml) bleach with 2 gal (8L) hot water.

Dispenser troubleshooting guide Before calling for service 1. Check that ice is in the dispenser and that congealed cubes are not causing a jam. 2. Check that circuit breaker and switches are in ON position. 3. Check that drain pan and top are on securely. If ajar, dispenser will not operate. When the top is off, auger does not operate, even though the solenoids do (page 18). 4. Check that all drains are clear.
