Remove Ice Thickness Probe Shipping Brackets

Remove and discard shipping brackets before starting the
ice machine.

Starting the Ice Machine

Step 1 Refer to cleaning and sanitizing procedure
and sanitize the ice machine and bin before placing in
operation.
Step 2 Press the power button to start ice-making.
NOTE: The water curtain/ice damper(s) must be in place on
the evaporator before the ice machine will start.
Refer to the sequence of operation in Section 3 for further
operational details.
Step 3 Observe a freeze and harvest cycle, then perform
an ice thickness check.

Ice Thickness Check

After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice storage
bin. The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the
ice bridge thickness at 3 mm (1/8").
NOTE: Make sure the water curtain is in place when
performing this check. It prevents water from splashing out
of the water trough.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should be
about 3 mm (1/8") thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase bridge
thickness, counterclockwise to decrease bridge
thickness. Set at 7 mm (9/32") gap between ice
thickness probe and evaporator as starting point, then
adjust to achieve a 3 mm (1/8") bridge thickness.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment one-third of a turn will
change the ice thickness about 1.5 mm (1/16").
