Ice Machine Operation

Operational Checks

GENERAL

Manitowoc ice machines are factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, new installations do not require any adjustment.

To ensure proper operation, always follow the Operational Checks:

•when starting the ice machine for the first time

•after a prolonged out of service period

•after cleaning and sanitizing

NOTE: Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty.

WATER LEVEL

The water level sensor is set to maintain the proper water level above the water pump housing. The water level is not adjustable. If the water level is incorrect, check the water level probe for damage (probe bent, etc.). Repair or replace the probe as necessary.

ICE THICKNESS CHECK

The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8" (.32 cm).

NOTE: Make sure the water curtain is in place when performing this check. It prevents water from splashing out of the water trough.

1.Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should be about 1/8" (.32 cm) thick.

2.If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase bridge thickness, counterclockwise to decrease bridge thickness. Set 1/4” gap between ice machine and evaporator as a starting point, then adjust to achieve a 1/8” bridge thickness.
