EF and EMF Series

Start-Up Procedure

●Check bin control for proper operation

The bin control is used to shut the machine off when the bin fills with ice. The bin control must be checked upon installation or initial start-up and when performing maintenance. Adjustments are not covered under warranty.

With the machine running and making ice, hold ice against the brass thermal well that houses the bin control capillary tube. The brass thermal well is located on the inside of the down chute on the EMF models and in the storage bin on the EF models. The machine should shut off in approximately 2 minutes. Remove the ice from the thermal well and the machine should come back on within 2 minutes. The bin control adjusting screw can be accessed through a hole in the control box. Note: On some models there will be a compressor delay of 2 to 4 minutes after turning the machine on.

If ice is touching the bin control thermal well for more than 3 minutes and the machine has not shut off, turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise approximately 1/8 turn and recheck.

●Check secondary bin control for proper operation

EF Series Flakers: With the machine off, reach inside the bin and push up on the white diaphragm located at the top of the bin. The switch contacts should change before the diaphragm is lifted ½ inch. Contacts should change again when the diaphragm is

released. To adjust switch, remove cabinet top and move switch to proper position.

EMF Series Flakers: With the machine off, lift up slightly on the white diaphragm located on top of the down chute. The switch contacts should change before the actuator is lifted more than ½ inch. Contacts should change again when the diaphragm is released. To adjust switch, remove cabinet top and move switch to proper position.

●Check for water leaks and excessive noise.
