All the dispensers have automatic agitation to keep the ice from clumping.  If agitation is too frequent, the Pearl Ice will be 
damaged and will become difficult to dispense.  The Ice-O-Matic and Cornelius dispensers need to be set to 2 seconds on 
every 3 hours and the Lancer needs to be set to 4 seconds on, 150 seconds off. 

The Ice-O-Matic and most Cornelius dispensers also have a restrictor plate at the outlet of the hopper. When used, that plate 
should be adjusted to be 1.5 inch open to limit the speed of the Pearl Ice flows out during dispensing.
