Operational Checks
GENERAL
Your ice machine was factory-operated and adjusted
before shipment. Normally, a newly installed ice
machine does not require any adjustment.
To ensure proper operation, always follow these
Operational Checks when starting the ice machine:
•
for the first time
•
after a prolonged out of service period
•
after cleaning and sanitizing
Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures
outlined in this manual are not covered by the
warranty.
SIPHON SYSTEM
To reduce mineral build-up and cleaning frequency,
the water in the sump trough must be purged during
each harvest cycle.
When the water pump de-energizes the level in the
water trough rises above the standpipe starting a
siphon action. The siphon action stops when the
water level in the sump trough drops. When the
siphon action stops, the float valve refills the water
trough to the correct level.
Siphon System Check
Follow steps 1 through 6 under water level check.
WATER FLOAT VALVE CHECK
Before water will flow into the water trough the float
valve shut-off must be in the OPEN position.
