Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full the ice maker shuts off
automatically and restarts when the ice supply needs replenishing.
Operation of the machine can be tailored to the user’s needs in the following manner.

The push button switch located on the control panel at the top of the machine has four selections. The “normal on”
position is used when maximum ice production and full bin capacity is needed. The “timed on” position is used in
conjuction with the “production volume control” timer.
The “clean” position is used whenever solutions are
circulated through the water system for scale removal or sanitizing. At the “clean” position, only the water pump operates, The “off” position shuts the entire machine off.
Operation of the machine will normally require setting the selector switch to the “normal on” position. With this setting daily ice usage should be great enough to completely empty the ice storage bin at least once. If this type of usage does not occur, the ice left in the storage bin will have a tendency to cluster or freeze in chunks making ice difficult to remove from the bin.
The purpose of the timer control is to allow a user to tailor
the daily ice production of the machine to the user’s ice
requirements, This prevents an excess of stored ice with the resulting ice clustering problem.
Once the timer and switch is set, daily operation is automatic and need not be adjusted or changed unless ice requirements change.
Set the timer to the present time of day within the proper day or night portion of the control dial.
Set the “time to start” knob (white) to the hour at
which machine operation is to begin. The knob must be depressed slightly and then rotated around the timer bezel to the time setting selected.
Set the “time to stop” knob (black) to the hour at which machine operation is to terminate.
Set the push button service switch to the “timed on” position. The start time should be selected to allow the
machine to produce enough ice for “start up”
requirements. The “off time” should be selected to allow the machine to produce enough ice needed for the entire day.
With the selector switch in the “normal on” or “timed on” position the signal light will glow with a low intensity and is an indication that the electrical power is on.
When the harvest cycle is longer than three minutes the signal light becomes brighter and begins to blink. This
indicates a malfunction of the harvest cycle.
NOTE: The machine will generally resume normal operation within a period of twenty (20) minutes after such
a malfunction does occur. If the signal light repeats
indicating a malfunctioning harvest cycle, a qualified serviceman should check the machine.
