Safety Limit Feature

In addition to the standard safety controls, such as the high pressure cutout, your Manitowoc ice machine features built-in safety limits which will stop the ice machine if conditions arise which could cause a major component failure.

Before calling for service, re-start the ice machine using the following procedure:

1.Move the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF and then back to ICE.

A.If the safety limit feature has stopped the ice machine, it will restart after a short delay. Proceed to step 2.

B.If the ice machine does not restart, see “Ice machine does not operate” on the previous page.

2.Allow the ice machine to run to determine if the condition is recurring.

A.If the ice machine stops again, the condition has recurred. Call for service.

B.If the ice machine continues to run, the condition has corrected itself. Allow the ice machine to continue running.
