Section 3 OperationPart Number 000001130 12/08 3-5WATER LEVEL CHECKCheck the water level while the ice machine is in the icemode and the water pump is running. The correct waterlevel is 1/4”(6.3mm) to 3/8” (9.5mm) below the top of thestandpipe a line in the water trough indicates the correctlevel.Water LevelThe float valve is factory-set for the proper water level. Ifadjustments are necessary:1. Verify the ice machine is level (see page 2-4).2. Remove the siphon cap from the standpipe.3. Place the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch to theON position, and wait until the float valve stopsadding water.4. Adjust the water level to (1/4" to 3/8" (6.3 to 9.5 mm)below the standpipe) the line in the water trough:5. Loosen the two screws on the float valve bracket.6. Raise or lower the float valve assembly asnecessary, then tighten the screws.7. Move the main ON/OFF/ WASH toggle switch to theOFF position. The water level in the trough will riseabove the standpipe and run down the drain.8. Replace the siphon cap on the standpipe, and verifywater level and siphon action by repeating steps 3through 5.ICE BRIDGE THICKNESS CHECKThe ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the icebridge thickness at 1/8” (3.2 mm).1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It shouldbe about 1/8” (3.2 mm) thick.2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thicknessprobe adjustment screw clockwise to increasebridge thickness, or counterclockwise to decreasebridge thickness.NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will changethe ice thickness about 1/16” (1.5 mm).Ice Thickness CheckMake sure the ice thickness probe wire and the bracketdo not restrict movement of the probe.SIPHON CAPSET THE WATER LEVELTO THE LINE IN THEWATER TROUGHADJUSTING SCREW1/8” ICE BRIDGE THICKNESS
