in this manual are not covered by the warranty.


Important
It is recommended that adjustments made to this ice
machine be made by a qualified technician. Improper
adjustment, may seriously affect the life of this ice
machine.

ICE CUBE THICKNESS CHECK

The ice cube thickness is factory-set to maintain the ice cube
thickness at the proper size and weight.
1. Allow the ice machine to operate for three complete
cycles. The cubes should have a small dimple in the
center.
2. Cycle times vary, according to surrounding air and water
inlet temperatures.
3. If cubes are not full (large dimple), raise the "dip
switch" level to increase cube size. Allow ice machine to
complete three cycles, then check cube.
4. If cubes are too full, ( no dimple), lower the "dip switch"
level to decrease cube size.Allow ice machine to operate
three complete cycles.
5. The "dip switch" can be adjusted to five levels: -2/-
1/0/+1/+2, and ensure that only one level switch is
pressed.
