ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustment Of The Timer & Switch Assembly
One complete revolution of the cam on the timer
takes eight minutes. The machine ships with the
harvest time set at 2
2
⁄
3
minutes. It is important that
the length of the harvest cycle allow enough time
for all the ice cubes to fall from the evaporator. Too
short of a time will cause the evaporator to freeze
up and stop ejecting ice into the bin. Too much
time wastes icemaking capacity, energy and water.
Adjustment of the harvest cycle may require a
corresponding adjustment of the cube size control.
Rotating the shaft of the timer cam clockwise will
allow putting the machine into either the freezing
cycle or harvest cycle, as required in the cleaning
instructions.
To Adjust The Timer & Switch Assembly:
The length of the harvest cycle can be changed by
loosening the set screw on the cam, and then
rotating the shaft so that the opening between the
cams change. More of an opening between the
cams = more harvest time.
Electrical power present
in the control box can
cause personal injury.
Disconnect power
before beginning to
adjust timer.
