Caring for Your Ice Machine
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 from. 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 temperature of the evaporator plate, the electronic control switches to the harvest 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.Exercise 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.
