Operational Checks
GENERAL
All ice machines are factory-operated and adjusted before
shipment. Normally, new installations do not require any
adjustment.
To ensure proper operation, always follow the Operational
Checks:
• when starting the ice machine for the first time
• after a prolonged out-of-service period
• after cleaning and sanitizing
NOTE: Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures
are not covered by the warranty.

ICE THICKNESS CHECK
After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice storage
bin. The ice thickness float switch is factory-set to maintain
the ice bridge thickness at 1/8" (3 mm).
NOTE: Make sure the water curtain is in place when
performing this check. It prevents water from splashing out
of the water trough.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should be
about 1/8" (3 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
float switch clockwise to increase bridge thickness,
counterclockwise to decrease bridge thickness. Adjust
to achieve a 1/8" (3 mm) bridge thickness.
NOTE: The float can be adjusted with a 3/4" wrench while
the water trough is in place. Test run two cycles to verify
water level.
