Operating Instructions
Icemaker
How your icemaker works
When you first start your icemaker, the water reservoir will fill and the system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing process takes about five minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the icemaker will cycle at preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located in the ice storage bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT
•If the water supply to the icemaker is turned off, be sure to set the icemaker control to OFF. Drain the water reservoir and leave the icemaker door open to allow it to dry completely.
•Every time the icemaker is turned off, you MUST clean the icemaker system with Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. See Care and
•The icemaker is designed to make clear ice from the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.
Making Ice
1.Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected. This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low mineral content.
2.When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual cubes.
3.The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.
4.Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
5.Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the icemaker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated and some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.
