Such revisions do not entitle the buyer to corresponding changes, improvements,
additions, replacements or compensation for previously purchased products.
Problem
Ice cubes are too small (less than 1/2 inch
thick).
Ice cubes are too big (greater than 3/4 inch
thick).
Hollow ice slab.
Possible Cause
Low ice consumption.
Not enough water in reservoir.
Distributor tube is restricted.
Build up of deposits on evaporator plate.
Inadequate drain system.
Leaking drain valve.
Room temperature is too warm.
Ice slab not releasing.
Condenser fan air flow is restricted.
Room temperature is too warm.
Distributor tube is restricted.
Build up of deposits on evaporator plate.
Low water level in reservoir.
Correction
Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin and will affect the size of the ice cube.
This is normal operation. When the ice bin needs to be replenished,
cubes will return to regular size.
Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed properly. Check the
water line to the unit to make sure there are no restrictions or kinks in
the line. Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted or plugged.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit for
proper operation.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit for
proper operation and cube size.
Restriction in drain lines will cause ice in the bin to melt to a thinner
cube. If using a gravity drain, make certain there are no kinks or restric-
tions in the drain lines. If using a drain pump, check the inlet screen, dis-
charge line, and vent line for any build or restrictions.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit.
This will also dissolve and flush out foreign material in the drain valve
causing it to leak.
Move to an area where temperature is below 90 deg. F.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit for
proper operation and cube size.
Make certain the grille in the front of the unit is free and open for prop-
er air circulation. Check and clean the condenser coil by removing the
grille in the front of the unit. Clean the condenser with a vacuum and
brush attachment.
Move to an area where temperature is below 90 deg. F.

See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit for
proper operation and cube size.
Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed properly. Check the
water line to the unit to make sure there are no restrictions or kinks in
the line. Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted or plugged.
