5. Allow the unit to operate for 1 hour, and check
the size of the cubes, if they are not correct, adjust
as recommended on page 17.
6. After the cubes are confirmed to be the correct
size, replace all panels.
7. Locate the nameplate on the control box cover.
Record the serial number and date of start up here
in the manual. Keep the manual handy for future
reference.

The ice machine is extremely simple to use, just
turn the ice machine control knob to the on
position. The DCE33 will automatically begin to
freeze ice and will continue to do so until the bin is
full.
Use the scoop to remove ice and place the ice
scoop in the holder provided (do not leave the
scoop on the ice, as it will gradually disappear into
the ice).
What to expect from the DCE33
The DCE33 will release a batch of 8 ice cubes
about every 30 minutes. At the same time the
cubes fall into the storage bin, water will be
entering the ice machine and draining out.
Ice: The ice cubes are tapered cylinders about
11/4" in diameter at the widest end; taper down to
1" wide at the top; and are 11/8" high. When the
machine is adjusted properly, there should be a 1/4"
indent in the base of the cube. The ice will appear
wet when fresh, this is normal. It may also develop
frost on the outside and look cloudy - this is also
normal (the frost will disappear when liquid is
poured over the ice).
Storage: All restaurant type ice machine operate
on this principal: The ice storage bin is not
refrigerated; instead it's heavily insulated, much
like a picnic cooler or ice chest. If the ice bin were
to be refrigerated, the ice would freeze together
into one very large cluster of ice, and would begin
to evaporate. This would yield ice that is very poor
in quality, and difficult to remove from the machine.
The DCE33 will continue to operate until ice builds
up high enough to contact the bin thermostat
sensor tube, then it wilt shut off. Models with a
drain pump will occasionally pump out melt water
when the machine is off. The pump will only be on
for a few seconds.
Run Time: The amount of time the DCE33 wilt run
to replace melted ice is about 2 hours per day. The
amount of time the ice machine will run to replace
ice removed is dependent upon how much is
removed, how clean the ice machine is, and how
hot the air and water supplied to the machine are.
An empty machine wilt usually take about 24-36
hours to re-fill.
