Operating Instructions
Ice maker
How your ice maker works
When you first start your ice maker, the water will flow through the filter and fill the reservoir. The system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing process takes about five minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will cycle on and off as needed.
The ice level sensor located in the ice storage bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT
If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be sure to set the ice maker control to
OFF. Drain the water reservoir and leave the ice maker door open to allow it to dry completely.
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.
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 and is filtered for the next ice making cycle.
5.Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the ice maker 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.
