START-UP AND OPERATION

OPERATING TIPS 

 

•

 

If the operation of your machine is not controlled by a timer, bin level control or some other 
mechanism to automatically start and stop ice production, you should use ONLY the 
“Clean/Off/Ice” selector switch to start and stop machine. 
 
By turning the “Clean/Off/Ice” switch “Off”, the machine will stop after the next harvest cycle. 
 

•

 

Do  not  use  the  “Stop”  pushbutton  or  the  machine  disconnect  for  normal  shutdown  of  the 
machine. 
 

•

 

Throw the “Disconnect” only in an emergency or for safety when performing certain service or 
repairs to the machine.  The compressor crankcase heater is de-energized when the disconnect is 
thrown. 
 

•

 

The “Start” push button can be used to initiate a harvest cycle.  When it is pushed during a freeze 
cycle, it will immediately initiate a harvest cycle. 
 

•

 

When the machine is stopped with no power to the control circuit and the “Start” button is 
pushed, the machine will begin in a harvest cycle when operation is resumed.
