Ice capacity test
Icemaker production capacity can only be determined by weighing ice produced in a specific time period.
1. Remove top panel and hopper lid of unit.
2. Weigh and record weight of container used to catch ice.
3. Run icemaker for at least 15 minutes.
4. Catch ice for 15 or 20 minutes.
5. Weigh harvested ice and record total weight.
6. Subtract weight of container from total weight.
7. Convert fractions of pounds to decimal equivalents (Ex. 6 lbs 8 oz = 6.5 lbs).
8. Calculate production using following formula:
1440 min. x wt. of ice produced
Total test time in minutes
9. Calculated amount per 24 hours should be checked against rated capacity for same ambient and water
temperatures in Ice Production Table (see page 22).
Dispenser troubleshooting
Disconnect power to unit before putting hands or arms in storage area or attempting any
!
repair or service to equipment.
Before calling for service:
• Check that no ice is in the dispenser bin area
• Check that congealed ice is not causing a jam
