Before Calling for Service

Check the following:

1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or building been shut off? If yes, the
ice machine will automatically restart within 25 minutes after water begins to
flow to it.

2. Has power been shut off to the ice machine? If yes, the ice machine will
automatically restart when power is restored.

3. Does the bin control have ice on it? If so, remove the ice and the machine
should start in a few minutes.

To Manually Reset the machine.

1. Remove the left front panel.

2. Locate the System Controller. If a red diagnostic light is glowing, note which
one and its blink rate. Then push and release the off button.

3. Push and release the Freeze button.

4. The machine should begin to operate. If
there is a lack of water it will soon shut off
again.

5. Return the front panel to its normal
position.

If the machine shuts down again, call for
service.

To Shut the Machine Off:

1. Remove the left front panel.

2. Locate the System Controller.

3. Push and hold the Off button for 3
seconds or until the machine stops.
