3.1 - DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM AND TROUGH

The plastic trough (35) has two stopping points, which are: 
 

Highest Point 
Lowest Point

 
In case there's the need to regulate these points (due to plastic trough (35) replacement, upper or 
lower reed switch (54 and 58), magnet displacement system, etc.), proceed as follows:

A •

 Highest point

The plastic trough (35) is correctly positioned at the highest point when its edges are touching the 
trough stoppers (21) (see Figure 2), and the displacement assembly A and B (see figure 1) is in the 
position shown in figure 6. If it is not correct, the adjustment is performed by the magnet's position 
(39), (see Figure 4) which is attached to the plastic trough (35) using two oblong screws, allowing 
the position to be moved up or down.

C

B • 

Lowest point

The plastic trough (35) will be correctly stopped at the lowest point when touching the rear stop 
plates in models EGC-50A, EGC-75A, EGC-100A, EGC-150A/EGC-150MA (see figure 3), and 
displacement point A as indicated (see Figure 1). If this position is not correct, the adjustment is 
done through the reed's position. In the lower switch (58), which is fixated on the left panel using 
oblong screws, allowing the position to be moved up or down, see (Fig. 5)

3.2 - ADJUSTMENT OF WATER LEVEL AND ICE CUBE HEIGHT

The minimum height of the ice cube is 25mm and maximum height is 45mm, as seen figure 2. The 
height is defined though the mobile sensor (55), see figure 1. For safety reasons, the maximum 
water level height should be 5mm below the edge of the plastic trough (35).
