8. Troubleshooting
Note: Your machine’s electrical system has several built-in safety and overload protection features
to stop operation when a single component fails or if there is a problem from an outside
source such a power supply. Make sure all auxiliary equipment is connected to incorporate
safety and overload circuits and protect all related equipment.
When the machine stops, it must be manually restarted by pushing the START button. If it stopped
while in a freeze cycle, it should be manually harvested to remove all ice from the freezer. This is
done by pushing the white MANUAL HARVEST button.
Always check the machine operation thoroughly after remedying the problem. Be sure to correct the
source or cause of the problem to prevent the problem from occurring again.
