Operation

NOTE: Flake ice machines use an auger to remove ice from the evaporator. Occasional noises (creaks, groans, squeaks, or pops) are a normal part of the ice making process.

Evaporator Low Temperature Safety Thermostat and Bin Thermostat

The bin thermostat sensing bulb is located in the ice chute or bin and turns the ice machine on and off as the level of ice in the ice chute or bin changes.

The ice machine will not start until:

A.The rocker switch is moved to “ON”.

B.Ice does not contact the bin thermostat bulb.

C.The water reservoir is full of water.

Placing the toggle switch in the ON position starts the gear motor and refrigeration system. The float valve controls the water inlet valve and water level. The freeze cycle ends when ice contacts the bin thermostat. The ice machine will restart when ice no longer contacts the bin thermostat.
