Start-Up Procedure
Turn on the circuit breaker in the ship’s panel.
Turn on the on/off breaker on the outside of the ice
machine’s electrical box.
Allow time for the digital display to power up. Once
powered up and the main screen is shown, press the start
button.
The waiting indication will flash as the time delay counts
down for the compressor to start. During this waiting
period the fresh water solenoid is open and the float
assembly and auger are filling with water. The auger and
raw water pump are on then the compressor starts. The
running indicator will now be on. Ice is produced and
pushed through the transport hose to the ice bin.
Monitor the system operation and ice production. Check
for any leaks of the fresh water and raw water connection.
Verify that the raw water is discharging overboard.
When the ice bin is full, the sensor will shut down the
unit. After the compressor stops the auger motor and raw
water pump continue to operate for 1 minute.
