Initial Start Up
After the final check list has been gone through,
the ice machine may be started up.
1. Open the bin door, open the water shut off valve
and watch the reservoir fill with water. The water
level should be about 1 5/8" from the top front
edge of the reservoir when the valve shuts off.
Adjust water level only if more than 1/4" off normal.
2. Pull open and release the curtain to check that it
moves freely and closes completely. Check that bin
control sensor is in line with the magnet in the
curtain. Reposition curtain and/or sensor to their
normal positions to bring these two components in
line.
3. Remove two screws and the right grill.
4. Switch the ON/OFF/CLEAN switch to CLEAN.
5. Move the Purge Switch, check that the machine
pumps water out thru the purge drain. If no water
flows out, correct drain and/or check valve.
6. Switch the ON/OFF/CLEAN switch to ON.
7. On air cooled models the fan motor will begin to
turn, and warm air will be discharged from the left
front of the ice machine.
On water cooled models warm water will begin to
flow from the condenser drain.
8. The water temperature in the reservoir will soon
be 32
o
F., and ice should begin to form on the
evaporator. Note: In most cases some slush will
form in the reservoir. This is temporary and normal.
9. Allow the ice machine to operate for about 15-20
minutes. The ice should be fully formed and should
be harvested within a few minutes.
Note: The machine may make a “cracking” noise a
few minutes before harvest. This is the normal
sound of the ice expanding.
