OPERATION
Final Check List before Operation
1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior
and exterior of the ice maker?
2. Did you clean the ice storage bin?
3. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting
the machine to water and electricity? Does the unit have proper
drainage?
4. Has the machine been leveled?
5. Is the ice maker in a site where the ambient temperature is between
55º F and 90ºF and the water temperature between 41º F and 77º F all
year round?
6. Has the water supply pressure been checked to ensure a minimum of
20 psig with a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig?
7. Is there a clearance of at least 4” at the rear, 1/2” at the top and 1/2” at
the sides for proper air circulation?
8. Has the power supply voltage been checked or tested against the
nameplate rating? And has proper grounding been installed for the ice
maker?
9. Is the ice maker plugged in?
10. Have you turned on the main water supply and the tap?
11. Have you checked for leaks at all water supply connections- and at
the drain?
Operating Method
1. Turn on the water tap, let the water trough fill, then turn the power
switch on the front panel to the ON position. The ice maker will start
working automatically.
2. After the first feeding of water, the machine will automatically go to the
ice making stage, and the sound of spraying water will be heard.
3. Ice will be harvested to the ice storage bin. When the storage bin is
filled to the point that the ice-full sensor is covered, the ice maker will
automatically stop working. The machine will restart making ice once the
storage bin is less than full.
4. Excess water will flow through the drain outlet at the back of the
machine and empty into the floor drain.
IMPORTANT:
Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to
long-term transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
Never touch the evaporator when the machine is running.
Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting
and insure proper ice formation.
