Ice Machine Operation Section 2
OPERATIONAL CHECKS - PKU0155
SIPHON SYSTEM - PKU0155
To reduce mineral build-up and descaling 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.
Follow steps 1 through 6 under water level check to verify the siphon system functions
correctly.
WATER LEVEL - PKU0155
Check the water level while the ice machine is in the ice mode and the water pump is
running. The correct water level is 1/4" (6.3 mm) to 3/8" (9.5 mm) below the top of the
standpipe. A line in the water trough indicates the correct level.
