HARVEST SEQUENCE WATER PURGE

The harvest sequence water purge adjustment may be 
used when the ice machine is hooked up to special 
water systems, such as a de-ionized water treatment 
system.

The harvest sequence water purge is factory set for 
45 seconds. Repositioning the jumper will set the 
harvest water purge to 0 seconds. This setting does 
not affect the SeCs or AuCs (cleaning) sequences.

During the harvest sequence water purge, the water 
fill valve energizes and de-energizes by time. The 
water purge must be at the factory setting of 45 
seconds for the water fill valve to energize during the 
last 15 seconds of the water purge. If it is set to less 
than 45 seconds, the water fill valve will not energize 
during the water purge.

Water Purge Adjustment

For your safety and to eliminate errors, we recommend 
that a qualified service technician make the harvest 
water purge adjustment.

!

Warning

Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electrical disconnect before proceeding.

Important

The harvest sequence water purge is factory-set at
45 seconds. A shorter purge setting (with standard
water supplies such as city water) is not
recommended. This can increase water system
cleaning and sanitizing requirements.
