INITIAL START UP
Adjust for the correct size if needed:
To produce SMALLER sized ice cubes:
Locate cube size control knob, in the front of the
control box. Rotate this knob one eighth of a turn
counter clockwise. Observe size of the ice cubes
in the next ice cube harvest and adjust again if
needed, until the correct ice cube is achieved.
To produce LARGER ice cubes:
Locate cube size control on the front of the control
box. Rotate the knob one eighth of a turn
clockwise. Observe size of ice cubes in the next
cube harvest and adjust again if needed, until
correct the ice cube size is achieved.
14. Check Harvest Time. The machine must
harvest all cubes before returning to a freeze cycle.
Increase the harvest time if there is less than 15
seconds of harvest time after the last cube has
fallen into the bin.
Decrease the harvest time if there is much more
than 15 seconds of harvest time after the last cube
has fallen into the bin. Note: Harvest time is
dependent upon the water and air temperatures at
the ice machine. Do not adjust harvest time too
short, as this will cause a freeze up .
See the next page for detailed harvest time
adjustment instructions.
15. Check ICE BIN LEVEL CONTROL
The amount of ice maintained in the bin is
adjustable. The normal setting is “full”. If the
operator desires, the level of ice in the bin may be
adjusted lower to shut off the machine when the
bin is only partially full.
To Test The Ice Level Setting:
1. Open the bin door and locate on the bottom of
the ice machine, the ice level sensor. It’s in a
socket about 2" in diameter and located left of the
evaporator plates.
2. When the machine is running, wait untIl near the
end of a “harvest” cycle.
3. Hold a flat object about the size of this service
manual over the ice level sensor socket.
4. The ice machine should turn off at the end of the
harvest cycle.
5. Slowly lower the flat object straight down.
6. The ice machine will start again at the point
where it will maintain the ice level.
Adjust Bin Ice Level
1. Locate ice level control knob.
2. Turn knob to the desired position.
3. Replace front panel.
4. To test, wait until the ice machine is near the
end of a “harvest” cycle, if there is ice in the bin
higher than the position the ice level control is set
for, the ice machine will turn OFF at the end of the
harvest cycle. If no ice in the bin, test again as
described under, “To Test The Ice Level Setting”.
16. Replace all panels, the machine is ready for
automatic operation.

CUBES (ACTUAL SIZE)
Note: Optimum performance will be achieved when
the ice machine is adjusted to produce this size and
shape of cube. The typical batch weight at this
setting is between 8.25 and 9 pounds.
