Operational Checks
The ice machine is factory tested and adjusted before shipping. Normally, new installations do not require any adjustment. Routine adjustments and maintenance proce- dures are not covered by the warranty.
To ensure proper operation, follow the operational checks when starting the ice machine for the first time, after a prolonged out of service period and after cleaning and sanitizing.
WATER LEVEL
The ice machine maintains the correct water level. The water level is not adjustable.
BIN THERMOSTAT

To check operation of the bin thermostat, place three ice cubes on the thermostat clip for about five minutes, ice production should stop. The ice machine should restart five minutes after the cubes are removed. Refer to the illustration below.
