Initial Start Up

1.  Remove front and left side panels. Check machine 

for any packing or wires rubbing moving parts. 

Note location of control board in upper left corner 

of the machine’s front.

2.  Switch on the electrical power to the machine. 

Observe that some of the control’s indicator lights 

glow and its display shows 

O

.

3.  Wait 4 hours for the compressor’s crankcase 

heater to warm up the oil in the compressor.

4.  Open the water supply valve.

5.  Turn the receiver’s outlet valve to the full open 

position.

6.  Push and release the ON button.

The indicator light will begin to blink 

F

. The purge 

valve will open and the water pump will start. The inlet 

water valve will open to add water to the reservoir. 

After a few seconds the purge valve will close and the 

water pump will stop. Water will flow into the machine 

until the reservoir is full. The hot gas valves and 

harvest assist devices will activate and the liquid line 

solenoid valve will open, then the compressor, remote 

fan motor and water pump will start. The display will 

show a continuous F. Five seconds later the hot gas 

valves will close and the harvest assist devices will 

return to their standby positions. Warm air will be 

discharged from the condenser coil.

7.  During the Freeze cycle move the curtain and 

observe that the SW1 or SW2 light on the control 

board blinks ON when the curtain moves away 

from the evaporator and OFF when returned to its 

normal position. 

Note: Moving the curtain during the Freeze cycle has 

no affect on unit operation.

8.  Observe the Ready for Harvest indicator light. It 

may blink early in the freeze cycle, that is normal. 

The control will ignore that signal for the first 6 

minutes of freeze.

9.  When the ice has frozen enough, the Ready for 

Harvest indicator light will be on steady. After it’s 

been on steady for a few seconds Harvest will 

begin.

10. The display shows an 

H

.

The hot gas valves open and the harvest assist 

mechanisms are activated. The purge valve opens to 

drain some water, when it does the inlet water valve 

opens to refill the reservoir. After a few seconds the 

purge valve closes but the inlet water valve continues 

to fill the reservoir. Harvest continues until the ice is 

released as a unit from each evaporator and forces 

each curtain to open.

11. When both curtains have opened and re-closed 

the controller returns the unit to a freeze cycle.

12. Check the ice harvested for proper bridge 

thickness. The ice bridge is factory set at 3/16 

inch. If needed, adjust bridge thickness. Do NOT 

make it too thin.

13. Determine the water purge setting from the table 

on the next page. If desired, change the setting to 

accommodate the local water conditions.

14. Return the panels to their normal positions and 

secure them to the machine.

15. Instruct the user in the operation of the machine 

and its maintenance requirements.

16. Fill out and mail the warranty registration form.

Typical Ice Making Cycle Times (minutes) 

Listed times are for clean machines. Cycle times at 

startup will be longer until the system stabilizes.
