Remove front and right side panels.

Remove all shipping materials from the ice machine 

including the water plate shipping strap. See the 

photo.

Install the bin level probe into the ice storage bin.  
See the illustration.  

Be sure that the on-off switch is in the “

OFF” position 

and the make ice-clean selector switch is in the 

CLEAN” position.

1.  Turn on the water supply and the electrical power 

and check all supply lines for leaks.

2. 

Move the on-off switch to the “

ON” position and 

observe the water flowing from the distributor 

tube, filling the water tank.  Also observe that 

the water pump is circulating water through the 

system.  The water fill is complete when the 

water level in the probe tube reaches the high-

level probe.  Observe that the water valve is 

de-energized at this time and there are no water 

leaks from the hoses or water tank into the drain 

pan.  

3.  Pull down on the right side of the water plate, 

stretching the springs until the actuator motor 

rotates the cam arms counter-clockwise. Observe 

that the cam arms continue to turn, opening the 

water plate fully, dumping the water in the tank.  At 

this point, the cam arm rotation will reverse and 

close the water plate.  The cam arm rotation will 

stop when the water plate is fully closed and the 

water fill process will repeat.

4. 

Move the ice-clean switch to the “

ICE” position 

and observe that the compressor and the 

fan motor (air cooled only) begin to run.  The 

refrigeration system operation should be checked 

and adjusted during the first few cycles. 

5.  Test the bin level control operation by holding 

ice against the probe.  The ice maker should 

shut off the within 30 seconds of contact 

between the ice and the probe tube. 

6.  All adjustments and Service should be 

referred to a qualified technician who has the 

proper Service Manual. 

7. 

Make sure that the drain pan, ice deflectors and 

stacking chute (stacked ice machines only) are 

properly installed.  Replace and secure all the 

cabinet panels. 

8.  Discard all the ice from the start-up cycles, then 

clean and sanitize the ice storage bin according 

to the instructions provided with the bin.
