11. Have you checked for leaks at all water supply connections?
Operating Method
1.Turn on the water tap, letting the water enter the water tank, then turn the power switch ON. The power switch’s indicator lamp lights, as well as the other three indicator lights on the control panel.
2.After about 3 minutes, the ice maker will automatically proceed to the
3.When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically fall into the ice storage bin. The yellow Ice Harvest LED will be on, and the other two will be off.
4.When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the
5.The unit starts making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. At the same time, the

IMPORTANT:
•Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to
•Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
•Never touch the evaporator when the machine is running.
•Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and insure proper ice formation.
How the Machine Makes Ice
When the power switch is first turned ON, the machine is in
There are two distinct cycles: Freeze and Harvest. During the Freeze cycle, water flows to the evaporator surface. In the Harvest cycle, the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete cycle can take 15 to 40 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and operating conditions.
Freeze: During the Freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan motor is
fully formed, the ice maker stops the Freeze cycle and begins the Harvest cycle. Harvest: During the Harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump
has stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide as a unit off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The Freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes drop into the bin.
