Operating Instructions

l For complete operation information, refer to the Use and Care Guide.

lBefore starting, wash out interior of cabinet with a Baking Soda solution (2 tablespoons [26 grams] soda to 1 quart [l liter] of warm water). Rinse thoroughly.

lMake certain the water is turned on. l Turn switch to the “ON”position.

IMPORTANT: Allow unit to run for 3 hours before expecting ice and for 24 hours before trying to set the thickness control.

If installed above 2,000 feet (600 m) above sea level, see page 2 for thermostat adjustments.

CUBELET GRID

3/4” x 3/i” (19 mm x 19 mm)

Unit Wiring Diagrams

This model operates at 115 volts except for the cutter grid circuit which operates at 8.5 volts at 1 amp.

The compressor runs at all times except when the Bin Thermostat becomes satisfied and opens the circuit. This de-energizes the system except for the transformer and cutter grid.

Under normal operating conditions, when the evaporator reaches the preset temperature (+lO” to -3°F [-12” to -19%], depending on thickness of ice) the evaporator thermostat opens, terminating operation of the fan motor and pump motor. The hot gas solenoid and the water valve solenoid are energized at this time and remain so until the evaporator reaches 38” + 2°F (3” + 1“C).

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing unit.

Failure to do so could result in electrical shock.

NOTE: A 15 or 20-ampere time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
