Ice Machine Operation Section 3
Ice Making Sequence of Operation
INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1. Pressure Equalization
Before the compressor starts the hot gas valve is
energized for 15 seconds to equalize pressures during
the initial refrigeration system start-up.
2. Refrigeration System Start-Up
The compressor starts after the 15-second pressure
equalization, and remains on throughout the entire
Freeze and Harvest Sequences. The hot gas valve
remains on for 5 seconds during initial compressor
start-up and then shuts off.
At the same time the compressor starts, the condenser
fan motor (air-cooled models) is supplied with power
throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest Sequences.
The fan motor is wired through a fan cycle pressure
control, therefore it may cycle on and off. (The
compressor and condenser fan motor are wired
through the relay. As a result, any time the relay coil
is energized, the compressor and fan motor are
supplied with power.)
FREEZE SEQUENCE
3. Prechill
The compressor is on for 30 seconds prior to water
flow to Prechill the evaporator.
4. Freeze
The water pump starts after the 30-second Prechill.
An even flow of water is directed across the
evaporator and into each cube cell, where it freezes.
HARVEST SEQUENCE
5. Harvest
The water pump de-energizes stopping flow over the
evaporator. The rising level of water in the sump
trough diverts water out of the overflow tube, purging
excess minerals from the sump trough. The hot gas
valve also opens to divert hot refrigerant gas into the
evaporator.
The refrigerant gas warms the evaporator causing the
cubes to slide, as a sheet, off the evaporator and into
the storage bin. The sliding sheet of cubes contacts
the ice damper, opening the bin switch.
The momentary opening and re-closing of the bin
switch terminates the Harvest Sequence and returns
the ice machine to the Freeze Sequence (steps 3 - 4).
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
6. Automatic Shut-Off
When the storage bin is full at the end of a Harvest
Sequence, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the ice
damper and will hold it down. After the ice damper is
held open for 7 seconds, the ice machine shuts off.
The ice machine remains off for 3 minutes before it
can automatically restart.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice has
been removed from the storage bin to allow the ice to
fall clear of the damper. As the ice damper swings
back to the operating position, the bin switch recloses and the ice machine restarts (steps 1 - 2),
provided the 3-minute delay period is complete.
When sufficient ice has formed, the water flow (not
the ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After
approximately 7 seconds of continual water contact,
the Harvest Sequence is initiated. The ice machine
cannot initiate a Harvest Sequence until a 6-minute
freeze time has been surpassed.

Ice Machine Operation Section 3
Operational Checks
GENERAL
Your ice machine was factory-operated and adjusted
before shipment. Normally, a newly installed ice
machine does not require any adjustment.
To ensure proper operation, always follow these
Operational Checks when starting the ice machine:
• for the first time
• after a prolonged out of service period
• after cleaning and sanitizing
Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures
outlined in this manual are not covered by the
warranty.
SIPHON SYSTEM
To reduce mineral build-up and cleaning frequency,
the water in the sump trough must be purged during
each harvest cycle.
When the water pump de-energizes the level in the
water trough rises above the standpipe starting a
siphon action. The siphon action stops when the
water level in the sump trough drops. When the
siphon action stops, the float valve refills the water
trough to the correct level.
WATER FLOAT VALVE CHECK
Before water will flow into the water trough the float
valve shut-off must be in the OPEN position.

safety precautions that must be followed, call your
local service representative to perform the
maintenance procedures for you.
We recommend that you perform the following
maintenance procedures at least every six months to
ensure reliable, trouble-free operation and maximum
ice production.
Ice Machine Inspection
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also,
make sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or
vibrating against other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) in front of the ice
machine. There must be adequate airflow through
and around the ice machine to maximize ice
production and ensure long component life.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a

be used as necessary.
Cleaning the Condenser
WARNING
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electric service switch before cleaning the
condenser.
AIR-COOLED CONDENSER
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This
reduces ice production and shortens component life.
Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow
the steps below.
WARNING
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when
cleaning them.
1. The washable aluminum filter on self-contained
ice machines is designed to catch dust, dirt, lint
and grease. This helps keep the condenser clean.
Clean the filter with a mild soap and water
solution.
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft
brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean
from top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful
not to bend the condenser fins.
3. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains:
A. Blow compressed air through the condenser
fins from the inside. Be careful not to bend
the fan blades.
B. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner.
