Operation
Your ice machine is unique in forming ice. It uses fractional
freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less
mineral content than the water it is produced f rom. This is
accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator
plate which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice
slab. Mineral deposits are left in the reservoir.
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness
determined by the temper ature of the evaporator plate ,
the electronic control switches to the har vest cycle to
harvest the ice. During the harvest cycle, the ice slab falls
from the evaporator to the ice grid cutter. Here, the ice
slab is cut into 3/4" squares by the grid cutter's heated
wires. During the harvest cycle, the drain valve will remain
open for 45 seconds to drain the reservoir of remaining
deposits. After that, the water valve will open for 2 minutes
providing 2 quarts of water to the reservoir for the next ice
production cycle.
The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice
machine's bin is full and will restart automatically when ice
needs to be replenished in the bin.
Care of Unit
1. Avoid leaning on the cabinet door. You may bend the
door hinge or tip the unit.
2. E xercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mop-
ping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grille
and/or switch can occur.
3. Periodic cleaning of the inside of the ice machine com-
ponents and inside of unit (see Cleaning Your Ice
Machine section).
4. Periodic checking and/or cleaning of the front grille and
condenser coils as needed.

Help Prevent Tragedies
Each year, children die because they climb inside a
discarded refrigeration product, get trapped inside and
suffocate. Take precautions to prevent such tragedies by
removing the door, taping or chaining it shut before
discarding.
