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.
