Figure 2-16. Water Deflector
Thermostat Calibrations
If the ice maker is installed in a location over 2000 feet
above sea level, the bin and evaporator thermostats
must be adjusted to compensate for the altitude.
On the control panel, under the escutcheon, on some
models of ice makers, there will be access holes to the
altitude adjustment control for each thermostat; and a
label with adjustment instructions will be on the front of
the control panel.
On other units, it will be necessary to remove the ther-
mostats to make the adjustments and to read the
instructions stamped onto the thermostat housing.
NOTE:
Make altitude adjustments on the thermostats
only to correct for the proper altitude of installation. Do
not make altitude adjustments on the thermostats to
correct other operational problems with the unit.
Water Deflector Installation
If the ice maker is installed aboard a ship, or a recre-
ational vehicle where it will be operating while the RV is
moving, it is necessary to purchase and install a Water
Deflector Kit, Part No. 702354* from your FSP parts
Distributor.
*The # 702354 water deflector kit is no longer used in
production and is not available as a service part.
The water deflector hangs in front of the evaporator and
keeps water flowing over the evaporator from spilling
into the storage bin area.
Starting Up the Unit
Before using the ice maker, the consumer should wash
out the bin area with a baking soda solution (2 table-
spoons of soda to a quart of warm water). Then rinse
thoroughly.
Make sure water supply and electric power is turned on.
Turn the service control switch to the “ON” position.
Allow the ice maker to run 3 hours before expecting ice,
and 24 hours before trying to adjust thickness control.
The ice maker has been factory set to produce ice
approximately 1/2-in. thick while operating in a room
ambient temperature of 70°F (21°C). Operation in differ-
ent room ambient temperature may require adjusting
the ice thickness control.
The best and most efficient operation of the unit will be
obtained when the ice is manufactured between 1/2-in.
and 5/8-in. thick.
