Operational Checks

GENERAL

Your Manitowoc ice machine was factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, a newly installed ice machine does not require any adjustment.

To ensure proper operation, always follow these Operational Checks when starting the ice machine:

•for the first time

•after a prolonged out of service period

•after cleaning and sanitizing

Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures outlined in this manual are not covered by the warranty.

SIPHON SYSTEM

To reduce mineral build-up and cleaning frequency, the water in the sump trough must be purged during each harvest cycle.

When the water pump de-energizes the level in the water trough rises above the standpipe starting a siphon action. The siphon action stops when the water level in the sump trough drops. When the siphon action stops, the float valve refills the water trough to the correct level.

Siphon System Check

Follow steps 1 through 6 under water level check.
