Note:
Your machine’s electrical system has several built-in safety and overload protection features
to stop operation when a single component fails or there is a problem from an outside source
such a power supply. Make sure all auxiliary equipment is connected to incorporate safety
and overload circuits and protect all related equipment.
When the machine stops, it must be manually restarted by pushing the green “Start” button. The
machine will restart in a harvest to clear any ice from the freezer before beginning another cycle.
Always check the machine operation thoroughly after remedying the problem. Be sure to correct the
source or cause of the problem to prevent the problem from occurring again.
