• A failed or broken grid can leave the ice sheet uncut or in large fused blocks
• Visible signs can include broken/burned wires or cubes sticking together

• One cutter grid assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing; allow the grid to cool

• Install in the same orientation; transfer existing mounting hardware if required
• Reconnect the harness securely and route wires away from moving parts
