Shut-down
! CAUTION !
The red “Stop” button should only be used for emergency shutdown.
For normal shutdown use the “Clean/Off/Ice” button.
! CAUTION !
1. Set the “Clean/Off/Ice” switch to the “Off” position. Do not use the machine disconnect to
stop the machine. If the disconnect is used the crankcase heater will be de-energized and liquid
refrigerant will migrate to the compressor.
2. If in a freeze mode, the machine will continue to run.
3. At the completion of the freeze cycle the machine will harvest and stop. The completion of a
cycle ensures that all ice is removed from the freezer to prevent refreeze when the machine is
restarted.
4. If in a harvest, the machine will complete the harvest and stop.
Operating Tips
• If the operation of your machine is not controlled by a timer, bin level control or some other
mechanism to automatically start and stop ice production, you should use ONLY the
“Clean/Off/Ice” toggle switch to start and stop machine.
• By turning the “Clean/Off/Ice” selector switch to “Off”, the machine will stop after the next
harvest cycle.
• Do not use the “Stop” push button or the machine disconnect for normal shutdown of the
machine.
• Throw the “Disconnect” only in an emergency or for safety when performing certain service or
repairs to the machine. The compressor crankcase heater is de-energized when the disconnect is
thrown.
• The “Start” push button can be used to initiate a harvest cycle. When it is pushed during a freeze
cycle, it will immediately initiate a harvest cycle.
