Section 3 Ice Machine Operation
WATER LEVEL CHECK
Check the water level while the ice machine is in
the ice mode and the water pump is running. The
correct water level is 6.3mm to 9.5mm below the
top of the standpipe a line in the water trough
indicates the correct level.
Water Level
The float valve is factory-set for the proper water
level. If adjustments are necessary:
1. Verify the ice machine is level.
2. Remove the siphon cap from the standpipe.
3. Place the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch
to the ON position, and wait until the float valve
stops adding water.
4. Adjust the water level to (6.3 to 9.5 mm below
the standpipe) the line in the water trough:
A Loosen the two screws on the float valve
bracket.
B Raise or lower the float valve assembly as
necessary, then tighten the screws.
5. Move the main ON/OFF/ WASH toggle switch
to the OFF position. The water level in the
trough will rise above the standpipe and run
down the drain.
6. Replace the siphon cap on the standpipe, and
verify water level and siphon action by
repeating steps 3 through 5.
ICE BRIDGE THICKNESS CHECK
The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain
the ice bridge thickness at 3.2 mm.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It
should be about 3.2 mm thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase
bridge thickness, or counterclockwise to
decrease bridge thickness.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will
change the ice thickness about 1.5 mm.
Ice Thickness Check
Make sure the ice thickness probe wire and the
bracket do not restrict movement of the probe.
