BRIDGE 1/8I (0.32 CM)
For optimum ice production and maximum cube separation, the ice connecting the individual cubes should be a
minimum of 1/8I (.32cm) thick at the center area of the ice waffle.
It is normal for the ice slab to be slightly thicker at the bottom and taper off in a slight wedge pattern at the top.
The top row of cubes must have a complete pattern of ice on all four sides and the back wall. Remember, when
you operate the product with the panels off during testing the additional heat at the top of the evaporator will
cause thinner ice at the top than when the panels are in place.
Should a different thickness of the bridge be desired, it will be required to adjust the ice thickness “POT”, lo-
cated on the circuit board, as follows:
1. Thinner Bridge -- turn the ice thickness “pot” adjustment screw CW one full turn. Allow two cycles before
determining if
additional adjustments are required.
2. Thicker Bridge -- turn the ice thickness “pot” adjusting screw CCW one full turn. Allow two cycles before
determining if additional adjustments are required.
Never judge the thickness of the ice from the first batch of the ice produced -- the first cycle is a bal-
ance cycle. Always wait for the second cycle before making any adjustments.
TOTAL ICE CAPACITY
Ice capacity of any ice maker is affected by many operating conditions, such as water and air temperature and
location factors. Please review the capacity tables in this manual for average 24-hour capacity under various
conditions.
All printed capacity ratings are ¦ 10% except 50 HZ units. These products have 12% increase in cycle
time and capacity decrease of approximately 17%.
ICE PRODUCTION CHECK
If air cooled, take air temperature at the intake of the condenser, 2I from the condenser fins, and Incoming wa-
ter temperature at the outlet of the “float” valve.*
