Using Your Ice Maker

The ice maker is extremely simple to use, just turn the ice maker control knob to the on position. The Model 315 will automatically begin to freeze ice and will continue to do so until the bin is full.

Use the scoop to remove ice and place the ice scoop in the holder provided (do not leave the scoop on the ice, as it will gradually disappear into the ice).

What to Expect from Your Ice

Maker

The Model 315 will release a batch of 8 ice cubes about every 30 minutes. At the same time the cubes fall into the storage bin, water will be entering the ice maker and draining out.

ICE: The ice cubes are tapered cylinders about 1-1/4" in diameter at the widest end; taper down to 1-inch wide at the top; and are 1-1/8" high. When the ice maker is adjust- ed properly, there should be a 1/4" indent in the base of the cube. The ice will appear wet when fresh, this is nor- mal. It may also develop frost on the outside and look cloudy, this is also normal (the frost will disappear when liquid is poured over the ice).

STORAGE: All restaurant-type ice makers, such as the

Model 315, operate on this principal: The ice storage bin is not refrigerated; instead it’s heavily insulated, much like a picnic cooler or ice chest. If the ice bin were to be refriger- ated, the ice would freeze together into one very large cluster of ice, and would begin to evaporate. This would yield ice that is very poor in quality, and difficult to remove from the ice maker.

The Model 315 will continue to operate until ice builds up high enough to contact the bin thermostat sensor tube, then it will shut off. Models with a drain pump will occa- sionally pump out melt water when the ice maker is off. The pump will only be on for a few seconds.

RUN TIME: The amount of time the Model 315 will run to replace melted ice is about 2 hours per day. The amount of time the ice maker will run to replace ice removed is dependent upon how much is removed, how clean the ice maker is, and how hot the air and water supplied to the ice maker are. An empty ice maker will usually take about 24- 36 hours to re-fill.
