ADJUSTING BRIDGE THICKNESS
For optimum ice production and maximum cube separation, the ice connecting the individual cubes
should be a minimum of 1/8" (.32cm) thick at the center area of the ice
waffle.
TOP ROW
3/8I – 5/8I DIMPLE
CENTER 1/8I
BRIDGE
BOTTOM 2 ROWS
3/16I – 1/4I BRIDGE
It is normal for the ice bridge to be slightly thicker at the bottom and taper off in a slight wedge pattern at
the top. The top row of cubes must have a complete pattern of ice on all four sides and the back wall.
REMEMBER, when you operate the product with the panels off during testing the additional heat at the
top of the evaporator will cause thinner ice at the top than when the panels are in place.
Should a different thickness of the bridge be desired, it will be required to adjust the ice thickness "POT",
located on the circuit board, as follows:
1. Thinner Bridge – turn the ice thickness "pot" adjustment screw
before determining if additional adjustments are required.
2. Thicker Bridge – turn the ice thickness "pot" adjusting screw
before determining if additional adjustments are required.
NOTE:
Never judge the thickness of the ice from the first batch of the ice produced – the first
cycle is a balance cycle. Always wait for the second cycle before making any adjustments.
Using the proper ice deflector will insure a better seperation and allow for a more complete bin fill pattern.
TOTAL ICE CAPACITY
Ice capacity of any ice maker is affected by many operating conditions, such as water and air tempera-
ture and location factors. Please review the capacity tables in this manual for average 24–hour capacity
under various conditions.
All printed capacity ratings are 10% except 50 HZ units these products have 12% in-
NOTE:
crease in cycle time and capacity decrease of approximately 17%.
