REPLACEMENT & ADJUSTMENT OF ICE DEFLECTOR

To properly install, the upper edge of the deflector should be positioned approximately 1/8" BELOW the aluminum lip under the evaporator.

The ice deflector should be centered beneath the ice cutter blade so that as the ice is removed from the evaporator, it will be deflected into the ice bin opening, away from the water collecting trough. The ice deflector prevents ice from dropping into the water collecting trough.

TO REPLACE ICE DEFLECTOR PROCEED AS FOLLOWS: Shut off ice flaker and allow machine to "pump down" (de-ice) once the machine is clear of ice , then you should disconnect the main power to the ice flaker and LOCK THE DISCONNECT SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION ( to prevent accidental start up).

Remove the service access cover on the top casting.

Remove 2 0r 3 water distribution tubes for easier access.

Reaching down into the freezing chamber, loosen and remove the two 1/4" bolts holding the existing ice deflector in place.

Remove the damaged ice deflector through the service opening.

Position and bolt the new ice deflector to the shaft. Tighten the bolts with the deflector adjusted to within 1/8" but NOT touching the evaporator surface or aluminum casting.

Re-install water distribution tubes. Remove all tools from inside the machine and re-attach the service access cover.

Remove lock-out devise from the main power disconnect and turn on the main power.

Turn on the ice flaker switch, (you may need to press the overload reset button) and check the deflector to insure that it does not touch the evaporator or aluminum casting.

If the deflector makes contact with the evaporator surface or aluminum casting at any point, then shut down the machine and repeat the above steps to readjust the deflector.
