OPERATION
This section of the manual provides the essential information for safe operation for all Dometic ice makers. For more detailed
operation information, refer to the Digital Control Operations Manual. If you encounter any operational problems, call your
dealer or the Dometic Marine Service Department at 954-973-2477.
START-UP CHECK LIST
Before you start the system
• Confirm freshwater supply is on.
• Confirm that electrical connections are correct and tight.
• Confirm that the circuit breaker is of the correct size.
• Confirm the ice-level sensor is mounted securely and the cable is routed safely.
• Confirm all units are mounted securely.
• Confirm seawater connections have correct flow direction and all connections are tight.
• Confirm there are no loops or dips in the seawater system.
• Confirm all metallic parts are bonded correctly.
• Confirm frequently accessed parts are easily accessible (i.e., control panel, filters, CPV, refrigerant ports, etc.).
• Confirm ice-delivery hose is securely fastened and has insulation, air hole, and drain hole, if needed.
STARTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn on the designated circuit breaker for the unit and also the one for the pump if it is on a separate breaker at the
boat's electrical panel.
2. Open the seacock on the pump intake.
3. Press the On/Off switch on the ice-maker to power-on the unit. It displays “dly” to indicate it is in timer-delay mode for
up to 150 seconds under normal default parameters before it displays “ICE” to indicate that it is in the ice-producing
mode.
4. Confirm water is flowing through the overboard discharge.
5. Look for ice output within 5 to 10 minutes of system start-up, plus approximately one minute for each foot of hose
between storage box and auger unit.
NOTE: The seawater pump should start automatically whenever the unit is running. Regularly check for seawater flow by
observing the overboard discharge. If you do not observe any flow when the system is running, check for obstructions in the
seawater cooling system.
THE DIGITAL CONTROL
The control system is programmed to operate the unit within assigned parameters. It uses sensors, timers, and counters to
protect system components from failure due to loss of fresh water, loss of seawater, ice clogs, low refrigerant charge, high
pressure, low pressure, or auger-motor start failures. To prevent overflow, a sensor also controls system operation based on ice
level in the storage bin. The control panel shows system function and failure mode, if one occurs.
See Figure 7 and Table 1 on page 12 to identify all parts of the control. See the Digital Control Manual for operation details.
