SAFETY LIMIT NOTES
•Because there are many possible external problems, do not limit your diagnosis to only the items listed in this chart.
•A continuous run of 100 harvests automatically erases the safety limit code.
•The control board will store and indicate only one safety limit – the last one exceeded.
•If the toggle switch is moved to the OFF position and then back to the ICE position prior to reaching the
•If a Safety Limit light did not flash prior to the ice machine restarting, then the ice machine did not stop because it exceeded a safety limit.
