When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill and the system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing process takes about 5 minutes.

Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will cycle at preset temperatures. 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 OFE

•The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.

The Ice Making Process

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.

2.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.

4.Fresh water enters the machine 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.

1.To start ice production, press ON. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice, and discard the first three batches of ice produced.

•To start the normal ice making cycle, press ON. Press the NORM ICE switch. Normal ice production should produce approximately 25 Ibs (11.4 kg) of ice in a 24-hour period.

•To start the maximum ice production cycle, press ON. Press the TWICE ICE switch. The ice maker will then produce approximately 50 Ibs (22.7 kg) of ice in a

24-hour period. This cycle should be selected when you have an upcoming need for a lot of clear, clean ice and the ice bin is low to empty.

2.To stop ice maker operation, press OFR
