EF and EMF Series

Start-Up Procedure

Please Follow These Instructions Carefully

Check the auger assembly to insure that it turns freely. Turning the large pulley of the gear reducer should require only slight finger pressure.

●Check that the condenser fan turns freely.

●Remove tape and packing from the float valve and reservoir

●Before turning the water supply on, check the low temperature safety control for proper operation:

Turn the machine ON. There may be a compressor delay of 2 to 4 minutes. Allow the machine to operate for 3 to 7 minutes after the compressor energizes. The safety control should open and shut down the ice machine within this time period. If the control does not open, rotate the adjustment screw counter-clockwise until the control opens.

The safety control is located in the electrical control box and the capillary tube is in the thermal well at the bottom of the evaporator.

The Safety Control turns the machine off if the evaporator temperature reaches approximately

30ْ F (-1C). The Safety Control can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw clockwise to lower the cut-out temperature (colder) or counterclockwise to raise the cut-out temperature (warmer).

Water Level

Check the water level in the water reservoir.

Turn the water to the ice machine on. If this is a water cooled unit, insure that the water cooled condenser has an adequate water supply.

Turn the ON/Off switch ON, with the machine running and making ice, the water level in the reservoir should be even with the top of the insulation around the evaporator barrel.

If the water level is too low or too high, the water level may be adjusted lower or higher by adjusting the float mounting bracket.

Loosen or remove the two (2) screws securing the float bracket to the frame.

Raise or lower the float bracket so that the water level is even with the top of the insulation surrounding the evaporator.

Resecure the float bracket by tightening the screws.
