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,
The service switch located on the control panel at the top of the machine has three positions. The “on” position is for the normal ice making cycle. The “off” position shuts the entire machine off. The “clean” position is used whenever
solutions are circulated through the water system for cleaning. At this position only the water pump operates and the red signal light is lit.
The green light indicates power is on to the ice machine.
During the ice making cycle the red light will come on if
the harvest portion is longer than three minutes. This
indicates a malfunction in the normal ice making cycle. The
machine may automatically correct the harvest malfunction and resume the normal ice making cycle. This causes the red light to go out. If the red light comes on intermittently
or stays on, it indicates a need for qualified service assistance.
NOTE: The red light is also on whenever the service switch
is in the “‘clean” position. This does not indicate a malfunction.

MAX. THICKNESS 1”
Thickness of the ice can be varied by rotation of the inverted “L” shaped adjusting screw which is located on the thickness control. The thickness control is mounted on the lower freezing plate. One complete rotation of the adjusting
screw varies the thickness approximately l/16”. To increase thickness turn the screw in a clockwise direction. Maximum
production of ice in pounds will be obtained with the
control set to produce ice approximately 112” thick.
In some areas it may be beneficial to filter or treat the water being supplied to the ice machine to reduce water
system maintenance (see Cleaning & Sanitizing the Ice Making System) and to produce the best type of ice.
For information on filtering and treating the water see your
WHIRLPOOL commercial ice maker dealer.
