Operational Checks

ICE THICKNESS CHECK

After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice
storage bin. The ice bridge connects the ice cubes and
must be set to maintain an ice bridge thickness of 1/8"
(3.2 mm). To adjust the thickness of the bridge refer to
ice thickness adjustment.
The ice thickness float switch is factory-set to maintain
the ice bridge thickness at 1/8" (3 mm).
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 1/8" (3 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice
thickness float switch clockwise to increase
bridge thickness, counterclockwise to
decrease bridge thickness. Adjust to achieve
a 1/8" (3 mm) bridge thickness.
NOTE: The float can be adjusted with a 3/4"
wrench while the water trough is in-place.Test
run two cycles to verify ice bridge thickness.
